Queen Elisabeth Competition prizewinner Keigo Mukawa makes triumphant German début at Klangwelt Klassik on 27 September!

26 September 2025 marked the release of the new album of Ludmila Berlinskaya and Arthur Ancelle for Alpha Classics: American Dream.

The album features Babin's Second Double Concerto, which the duo performed at their Rungis Piano-Piano Festival in 2022 - Amy Beach's Suite Op. 104 (2024 Rungis Piano-Piano Festival), - and Dana Suesse's Double Concerto, recently been performed at the Rungis Piano-Piano Festival on 2 October 2025.

"At the center: Ludmila Berlinskaya and Arthur Ancelle. Two pianists who play as if they have nothing to lose. Sometimes, listening to them, one gets the impression that the two are sitting opposite each other at the piano and have forgotten that the microphones are running. They listen, laugh, flirt, argue - all via the keys. A duo like this is a stroke of luck. The Orchestre Victor Hugo? Solid and colorful. (...) The pianists throw themselves into it as if their lives depend on it. (...) And what remains after listening? Above all, amazement. This music - by Suesse, Beach, and Babin - deserves to be played more often. Berlinskaya and Ancelle are more than just performers; they seem to be true believers. They play with brilliance, yes, but also with soul. (...) So, this CD is not just a recording, it is a reference. (...) And best of all, this CD doesn't sound like “required listening for specialists”, but like music that is simply a pleasure to hear. Lively, surprising, sometimes a little unwieldy, but always gripping. In short: a real discovery."
