Lunchtime Recital : Piano four-hands by Duo Diesis

In this lunchtime recital Duo Diesis are exploring the use of rhythms, especially rhythmic groove and polyrhythms, of different periods in classical music for 4-hands piano.
Each composer uses repetitive motifs (grooves) to keep the piece perpetually moving in the bass/second part especially. In the Mendelssohn it's his ascending bass line from the beginning that keeps returning. Stravinsky and Carl Vine use polyrhythms between and within the repetitive nature of their pieces which adds further fascination.
