The Neeman Piano Duo are a powerhouse husband-and-wife team: their twenty fingers have sounded together since 2008, at venues across the United States, Asia and Australia. Dr Stephanie Neeman has won virtually all major piano competitions in her native Indonesia. She received her Bachelor and Master of Music at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City, and her Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Cincinnati. Dr Edward Neeman has performed across five continents, and holds a Bachelor of Music from the Australian National University, a Master of Music from the Manhattan School of Music, and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from The Juilliard School.
One of the most popular works for piano duet, Schubert’s Fantasia in F minor, D. 940 is almost symphonic in its breadth and scope: here we encounter everything from the loneliness and despondency of Wintereisse’s ‘stranger’; to unexpected turns to the major mode pervaded by the breath of spring; to joyous, Ländler-like dance episodes; all finally culminating with an astonishing fugal recapitulation. Schubert’s masterpiece is here complemented with a suitably adventurous and disparate selection of works – several of which have been specially arranged for the four-hand format by Edward Neeman.
