Mari Kodama, Momo Kodama, Karin Kei Nagano and Kent Nagano present Double and Triple Piano Concertos by Mozart and Poulenc, together with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. This unique project highlights the musicality and congeniality of this extraordinary family of performers. On this album, the husband (Kent Nagano) conducts his wife (Mari Kodama), his daughter (Karin Kei Nagano) and his sister-in-law (Momo Kodama). The collective performance on this album resonates with Mozart's own practice of performing his music together with his father, his sister, his wife, and his sister-in-law. Despite belonging to different ages in music history, Mozart and Poulenc share a combination of playfulness and seriousness, and Poulenc - who adored Mozart's Concerto for two pianos - manages to integrate touches of Mozartian neoclassicism into his genuinely French and twentieth-century double concerto. Sharing the stage on this recording is a dream come true for the Nagano-Kodama family. Mari Kodama, Momo Kodama and Kent Nagano have appeared on Pentatone frequently, including recordings of Tchaikovsky Ballet Duos (2016) and Martinu Double Concertos (2018) featuring the two sisters, and the GRAMMY-awarded album of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf (2003) featuring Kent Nagano. Karin Kei Nagano makes her Pentatone debut.
