Together, they perform Russian masterworks (Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Shostakovich) and large-scale two-piano pieces, while also premiering new commissions like Con Brio for two pianos. Recent highlights include Korepanova’s arrangement of Rachmaninoff Variation 18, selected for Lang Lang’s Piano Book 2 (Deutsche Grammophon) in 2025.
