Alan Hovhaness — Concerto for Two Pianos and orchestra
Through his Cristofori Foundation http://cristoforifund.tripod.com/ Martin Berkofsky has initiated the creation of the Alan Hovhaness International Research Centre in Yerevan, Armenia, http://www.hovhaness.org
Alan Hovhaness composed the Concerto for Two Pianos in 1954 for a two-piano team who never performed, recorded, or published the work.
The composer gave a copy of the manuscript to Belarusian-American pianist Martin Berkofsky, asking if Berkofsky could bring the concerto to life.
In March 2004, it premiered in Moscow through the efforts of Berkofsky , who seeks to reveal the beauty of Hovhaness’ work to the world. Berkofsky and the Armenian-American composer, Hovhaness developed a friendship over three decades until the death of the composer in 2000.
Through his Cristofori Foundation, Berkofsky has initiated the creation
of the Alan Hovhaness International Research Centre in Yerevan, Armenia, http://www.hovhaness.org
In this concerto, Alan Hovhaness has recreated exotic sounds: In the first movement, the Indonesian Gamelan; in the second movement, the sound of the Kanun, a middle-eastern zither; in the third movement, the jhala teranga. Notable are Hovhaness’ successful experiments with twelve-tone rows in both the second and third movements.
Музыку К.Дебюсси исполняет американская балетная пара и пианисты Раффи Хараджанян и Мутсуко Дохи
