Dan Dediu (Romanian pianist, composer)

“With musicality and intelligence, the whole Puiu Piano Duo’s interpretative approach has enhanced the two very different parts of the Sonata for 2 pianos:

I witnessed a profound, sensitive, and expressive interpretation, with an exceptional timbral dosage, emotional tension, and a diversified and refined touch.

I especially appreciated the sublime care with which every detail of the musical score was understood, enhanced, perfected, integrated into the formation of the ensemble (of the piano duo), then reproduced and transmitted to the public with brilliance, precision, confidence and empathy.”
