The Marat/Sade - Suite for two pianos

I transcribed the music for two pianos in 1996 [the original music was composed in 1989/90] and it has been played by Duncan Honeybourne and Geoffrey Buckley - discreetly in the Adrian Boult Hall one Sunday morning! Duncan had managed to get access and it was one of the only places we could think of that had two Steinwey Grand Pianos....

The recording was made by Brian Sayles (husband of Christine Page), who drove me up to Birmingham. He has made many excellent recordings for me over the years, always very willingly, and never accepted a fee. I am very grateful for his generosity and expertise.
