On their second CD, the Neeb Piano Duo present works that each illustrate the beginning of a promising period in the life of a different composer: full of creative energy, Max Reger plunged into productive work after emerging from years of challenging physical and mental health. Franz Schubert was similarly affected by a syphilis attack, and, in addition to a stable job at Esterhazy Palace, was even inspired by a clandestine love to find new creativity. Johann Sebastian Bach was motivated by leading the top-class Collegium Musicum to compose a new concert repertoire, while Rachmaninoff, with the Suite, Op. 17, overcame the depression which had prevented him from composing for three years following the failure of his First Symphony. The Neeb Piano Duo illuminate these emotional worlds with their insightful interpretation, creative imagination, and sparkling enthusiasm.
