“This must be one of the most smartly programmed recording of the latest prominence. The Long Duo play with panache and authority”

-Darin Tysdal, Amazon Review

‘The talented and comely (judging from the booklet cover photo) Taiwanese sisters Beatrice and Christina Long demonstrated considerable enterprise in selecting a couple of rarely performed two-piano concertos….. this is an essential release not likely to be duplicated in the near or far future. Grab it!’

-Paul A. Snook , FANFARE

” (Long Duo’s own arrangement of) four-hands version of Libertango by Astor Piazzolla, was presented in such a dancing, sparkling way, that it was a true pleasure to listen to them”

– Onetz.De Germany

“This recording is one of the most enjoyable releases I’ve heard all year – the performances are alive with missionary zeal, and it is exciting…”

-Graham Rickson, the Arts Desk, London

“the Long sisters’ glittering collective technique, interpretive sensitivity, and the uncanny communion of souls that perhaps only siblings can share, and the result was a rare evening of music that will haunt me happily for a long time to come. “

-Lindsay Koob, Charleston Today

“This is a marvelously talented duo”

-Dr Henry Janiec, Spartanburg Symphony

Long Duo achieved the highest standard in duo piano playing. In terms of balance, clarity of layers, tone colors and thoughtfulness, this CD deserve the highest praise.

-Classical Music Magazine, Taipei, Taiwan

First class playing from both performers… splendid balance musically and physically. The players have everything they need for professional success-confidence, technique and musicality.

-Allison Nelson, President of Jury, Ellis Duo Piano Competition

As Liszt and Rachmaninoff define lush, the Long Duo defines cohesiveness of purpose, absolute accuracy of execution and a near-spiritual transparency.

-The Post and Courier, Charleston, South Carolina

..with their barnstorming technique….the Taiwan natives allowed every piece they played to speak for itself.
