"This delightful release contains all of Lowell Liebermann's music for two pianos As a pianist, Lowell Liebermann writes expertly and sensitively for the instrument -- the music is surely challenging but also sounds like it's great fun to play. Jeffrey and Karen Savage's performances are joyful and inspiring They should inspire many other piano duos to tackle this engaging, well made, and expressive, satisfying music."
