This collection presents nine beautifully-crafted duet arrangements of classic works from the Russian repertory. Compiled and prepared by composer Halyna Ovcharenko, the arrangements have been carefully selected from a variety of genres, including orchestral, chamber, opera, and ballet. Twentieth-century classics such as the Allegretto from Shostakovichs String Quartet No. 8 and the Gavotte from Prokofievs Classical Symphony sit alongside timeless masterpieces like Rimsky-Korsakovs Sheherazade and Tchaikovskys, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, from The Nutcracker. Topped off with works by Glinka, Borodin, Musorgsky, and Rachmaninoff, the result is a varied and satisfying collection suitable for all intermediate and advanced duettists.
