Deutsche Grammophon releases a live recording of another of the legendary concerts that Daniel Barenboim and Martha Argerich have given in the Teatro Colón - in this case in the summer of 2015. Previously available digitally on PERAL MUSIC, Daniel Barenboim's own label, this album is now made available on CD.

The programme was recorded in July during the second "Festival de Música y Reflexión" that Daniel Barenboim established in 2014 in his native Argentina.

Following the outstanding success of last year's inaugural album, Daniel Barenboim and Martha Argerich elected to perform chamber music together in the city of their birth. On the programme were works for two pianos: Debussy's arrangement of Schumann's Six Studies in Canon Form, Debussy's own En blanc et noir and Béla Bartók's Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion.

"this concert...is clearly an emotional homecoming...If there's less youthful elan and rhythmic incisiveness in her playing with Barenboim [compared to earlier recordings with Kovacevich], their easy rapport in this music comes across with astonishing vitality from two septuagenarians." (Sunday Times)
