Two concertante instruments and two performers who, above all, in accordance with Theodor Adorno's perfect definition, must comply with the first commandment of chamber music: "to step back" to listen to the other player even before listening to oneself. Mercelli and Bahrami show that they are totally aware of this imperative, this necessity.
Their stature as soloists does not impair the joint result; instead, they offer full adherence to the chamber music circumstances, respecting the primary intention of these works.
