Joachim Carr and Mathias Halvorsen debutes as a piano duo making an extraordinary recording at Troll.

As students of the legendary Jiri Hlinka, the duo have reached a musical level of the highest performance. The album will be released on Troll in December 2008.

Two young musicians on two major grand pianos, namely a brand new Steinway model D and the Bohemia 280. The instruments were carefully chosen for its different sonic response and color, which clearly comes through in the final recording. Its flavors each others well, like an unique duett should do.

"Its like their bouncing off each others, in a very musical way, and the microphone techniques used for this album recording makes a clear defined and transparent sound" says Jiri Hlinka.

The accoustics of the Pentagon recording room is absolutely fabulous and blends well with the instruments harmonics - "I am pleased to say that there was no need to tweak anything to make it sound better - it was already perfect as recorded" added producer Jiri Hlinka
