Since its 1992 début the Hirsch-Pinkas Piano Duo has presented one and two-piano recitals to enthusiastic audiences throughout the world. Sally Pinkas and Evan Hirsch, each an active soloist, bring to their collaborations virtuosity, enthusiasm, and striking warmth. Dedicated to the exploration of contemporary music, their repertoire includes rarely-heard works such as Messiaen’s Visions de l’amen and Milhaud’s La création du monde. Equally at ease with the standard repertoire, the Duo’s offerings range from Byrd to Mozart and Rachmaninov, and include many works especially arranged by Hirsch. The Hirsch-Pinkas Duo’s recordings of music by Daniel Pinkham, Peter Child and Thomas Oboe Lee are available on the Arsis and Albany labels. Their five-volume compilation of the complete piano works by George Rochberg (Naxos) is the culmination of their special friendship with the late composer, whose epic Circles of Fire for two pianos was commissioned for, and given its première by Pinkas and Hirsch.
Sally Pinkas performs on ROCHBERG Piano Music Vol 3 and Vol 4. Evan Hirsch performs on ROCHBERG Piano Music Vol 2.
