DuoKeira Piano Duo - Barber, Borodin, Debussy, Ravel (2021)

Inspired by the Greek word for “hand”, the name DuoKeira also echoes that of Chiron, the mythical centaur whose expertise in both arts and sciences combined the rational with the intuitive aspects of nature. If Chiron knew how to combine rigor in reasoning with spontaneity of feeling, Michela Chiara Borghese and Sabrina De Carlo offer performances which joyously fuse strict discipline, and openness to vital impulses. The special qualities Michela brings to the duo’s music are absolute precision, a capacity to sustain strong sound with unfailing stamina and a rhythmic drive that never falters. Complementary to these are Sabrina’s melodic elegance, sense of timing and imaginative spacing, her unceasing quest for quality of sound, and her loyalty to the authentic spirit of the chosen composers.
