Extractions: R ichard and John Contiguglia are identical twins who have collaborated as a piano duo since they were five years old. Throughout their career critics have responded in superlatives to their unique musical partnership. Following the release of their historic recording of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, transcribed for two pianos by Franz Liszt, now a collector's item, critic Edward Tatnall Canby called the Contiguglias "the most profoundly musical pair of piano virtuosi of this century." Records and Recording proclaimed that "they have given the two-piano medium a whole new dimension. The Contiguglias stand apart in a lofty world of their own, unrivaled and supreme." Byron Belt, for Newhouse News Service, called the Contiguglias "foremost among today's duo-pianists." Richard and John were born of Italian immigrant parents in Auburn, NY, the last children, and second set of twins, in a family of seven children. Without a doubt, the most extraordinary musical event of the twins' youth was a performance in their home town, when they were 12 years old, of a group of two-piano pieces in the middle of a solo-piano recital by the legendary pianist-composer, Percy Grainger.

Extractions: "The Contiguglias wonderfully vibrant Fantasy on Themes from Porgy and Bess by the Australian pianist, Percy Grainger, triggered an unusual reaction from the normally conservative audience which attends these concerts. Their singing, shouting, strutting, clowning and dancing interpretation of this rich synopsis of the opera brought the crowd to its feet. That indicates to me that a good many people join me in wishing these double dynamos of pianism a speedy return to San Antonio. -Andrew Mihalso, San Antonio EXPRESS NEWS Two Pianos and Orchestra: Seattle In the beginning there was George Gershwins Porgy and Bess, considered by many to be Americas first great opera. Using themes from Porgy, the celebrated Australian-born pianist/composer Percy Grainger composed one of his greatest works for two pianos. Then, twin pianists, John and Richard Contiguglia, commissioned Tom Kochan to build a Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra based on Graingers Porgy and Bess Fantasy .
