Described as 'two pianists playing a grand piano like it's an Olympic sport' - this performance by Coady Green-Smith and Christopher Smith is...wow.
Liszt's arrangements of his Hungarian Rhapsodies for piano four hands are notoriously difficult to play, and in this concert Coady and Christopher give the first Australian performance of the complete works.
There are a few days left to watch the recording of this dazzling performance at home, any time, until 30 September.
