Nominated for a 2022 ARIA award for ‘Best Classical Album’

More Moments of Musical Magic - from Tamara’s weekly Duet show for ABC Classic, recorded live from the studio

Each week on ABC Classic’s Duet program, award-winning Australian concert pianist Tamara-Anna Cislowska welcomes a star into the studio to share an hour of music and conversation at the keyboard. It’s a chance to discover what makes great performers tick: how and why they do what they do, what inspires the music, and where the artistry is born.

The highlight of each program is a duet performance, live on air: music made in the moment, capturing the intimacy of new connections between stellar artists. This album brings together some of the most passionate, profound, joyous and sometimes quirky musical moments from the show, featuring 24 guest artists including Ben Folds, Karin Schaupp, Erin Helyard, Garrick Ohlsson and William Barton, in a rich kaleidoscope of musical colours from cello to saxophone, celeste to ophicleide and trumpet to didgeridoo.

‘Some of the guests featured in this album I met on the day, some I’ve known all my life,’ says Tamara. ‘All these musicians are precious to me and each brings their own experience, expertise, discipline and thoughtfulness to the music. Lend us your ears!’

Released in September 2022.

Tamara-Anna Cislowska presents Duet on ABC Classic each Thursday from 3pm to 4pm.
