“They play together with impeccable timing and elegance, not to mention considerable virtuosity, as this recital demonstrates.”
- Byzantion, MusicWeb International
“Schmitt’s extensive oeuvre for two pianists could have no better musicians, and I eagerly await the remaining three volumes in this series.”
- James Harrington, American Record Guide
“The Invencia Duo’s nonchalant delivery perfectly matches the spirit of the piece [Rhapsodie parisienne] as they track the harmony’s sweet twists and turns with exquisite precision.”
- Colin Clarke, International Piano
Largely forgotten today, Florent Schmitt was a contemporary of Debussy and Ravel who created a prolific and innovative body of work during his lifetime. This release from the Grand Piano label marks the beginning of a multi-album project to record Schmitt's complete works for piano duo, presenting these impressionist and entrancing pieces to a new generation of listeners, opening with the composer's 3 Rapsodies, Op. 53, 7 Pieces, Op. 15, and Rhapsodie parisienne.
