Edit Klukon and Dezso Ranki

Edit Klukon and Dezső Ránki started performing together in 1985. Both pianists became very interested in the wonderful world of the piano repertory written by the greatest composers for piano four hands and two pianos. Now they regularly perform about ten to fifteen duets a year. Two of their most interesting productions were Liszt's unpublished two-piano version of his own Faust-symphony and Liszt's transcription of Beethoven's Symphony Nr. 9 for two pianos. They have most notably performed in the following cities: Salzburg, Torino, Milan, Munich, Paris, London, Lisbon, Las Palmas, the Festival in Lucerne, and Sao Paulo. Works by Satie and Liszt are featured on their latest CD recording.
