​

Their last disc, Music for Two Pianos and Percussion, which includes Bartok's Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, Ravel Bolero, and Matthew Hindson's Pulse Magnet,  has received 5-stars on Sinfini Music: "this recording is remarkable....with all the rhythmic dynamism, the music's dark grandeur and dramatic sweep come across superbly".
