Elegant and style-conscious, the sisters Mona and Rica Bard undertake a pas de deux, at one and at two pianos, through eighty years of French piano music. Their programme includes Bizet‘s masterly miniatures, Ravel‘s refined, temperamental portraits of Spain, Milhaud's comedy about a character of the Commedia dell’Arte and the stylistic versatility of Francis Poulenc, who was both able to flirt with the entertainment music of his time and also, around 1950, to compose a substantial commentary on classicism and modernism beyond the main currents with his Sonata for Two Pianos.more
"The young German piano duo Mona and Rica Bard are at the start of what promises to be an outstanding career [...]. This is their first CD, and it is fantastic." (www.classicalcdreview.com)

Winners of a number of awards, the sisters Mona and Rica Bard now present their first CD, a pas de deux though eighty years of French piano music. At one and at two instruments, they create a panorama of piano sound, ranging from the simulation of orchestral colours, percussive and motoric élan to the suggestion of an intensive song-like quality. With Bizet's Jeux d'enfants, Ravel's Rapsodie espagnole and Poulenc's Sonata for Two Pianos, this SACD contains three „secret" masterworks by their respective composers. With its combination of elegance, irony and samba rhythms, the Scaramouche Suite quickly became Darius Milhaud's most popular work.
Four hands, two sisters, one pulse - Mona & Rica Bard achieved national and international awards at competitions among them the German Music Competition, the Concorso Internazionale di Musica da Camera Palma d`Oro (Finale Ligure) and the Concorso Internazionale per Du o Pianistico Twenty Fingers (Rome). The Ensemble was accepted in the National Selection of Young Artists' Concerts of the German Music Council and in the artists' list of the association Yehudi Menuhin - Live Music Now. Extensive concert engagements have taken Mona & Rica Bard throughout Europe, to Asia the USA and to numerous festivals such as the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, the NCPA May Festival Peking and the Chicago Piano Duo Festival.
