Stravinsky made his own two-piano arrangement of the  \u003ci\u003eDumbarton Oaks\u003c\/i\u003e Concerto, while Satie’s  \u003ci\u003eSocrate\u003c\/i\u003e and  \u003ci\u003eCinéma\u003c\/i\u003e are heard here in arrangements by John Cage and Darius Milhaud respectively. Pieces for two pianos, for piano four hands and for prepared piano combine on this disc which mingles music and theatre – for it is the theatrical element that unites the two composers. As Diaghilev said to Cocteau: \"Astonish me!\" With this programme, these instruments and his extremely diverse musical experiences, Lubimov continues to make that his credo today","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49309960732952,"sku":"3760014192302","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3161961.jpg?v=1777791357","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/paris-joyeux-et-triste-piano-duets","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
