Breathtakingly difficult to perform and fabulous to watch, the duo once again proved themselves technically awesome with their symbiotic dialogue.

Micallef-Inanga Piano Duo

Taking at breakneck tempo, it was an achievement beggaring belief that accuracy was never sacrificed for flashiness or the impression of velocity.The Tarantella brought more pyrotechnics, and when it was thought scarcely possible for more adrenaline to flow, the duo was more than abundantly supplied.

Then it was no-holds barred, edge-of-the-seat stuff (to quote a clearly impressed music-lover seated on my right), where all sorts of risks were taken. There were heart-in-mouth moments where it seemed the ensemble would perilously careen off its tracks, but no, the insistent rhythm maintained kept that fear in check. Blinding glissandi rained like thunderbolts hurled from Mount Olympus but there were also rapt moments where Micallef’s pianism evoked harp-like textures, which magically made one forget the orchestra if albeit momentarily.

The 19th and 20th centuries come crashing in, summoning various trends and composers’ shades, with Bach’s genius always poking through. The young team of Jennifer Micallef and Glen Inanga... bounce through the work, the finger-work clean, the spirits high

A marvellous work…Whatever your CD priorities to date, this one surely has to fly straight to the top of your wants list…deftly concealed virtuosity...praise beyond measure.

Rob Cowan, Gramophone (February, 2003)

 

They make The Introduction and Allegro for harp, flute, clarinet and string quartet totally enchanting, their playing becoming ever more limpid as the textures become more (gliterringly) dense.

…a remarkable achievement…Rollicking, camp good fun

..if their Ravel collection is anything to go by, it has certainly persuaded me to make a beeline to their next recital…an enterprising and enjoyable album…Micallef and Inanga…manage to create such atmospheric effects…striking successes…The programme concludes with a show-stopping La Valse…

Two-piano playing of sparkling vivacity and undoubted sensitivity from this young, prize-winning duo.
