The writer mentions the two pianists Laura & Beatrice Puiu in his book

“Il nido e altri racconti” – publisher Olimpia 2011 “Sull’argine di Babadag” “Doctor Zhivago’s mother played the balalaika; he was a poet. In the case of the Puiu twins, however, the opposite happened. Daughters of a delicate Romanian poet, who called them Beatrice and Laura in homage to Dante and Petrarca, they have transformed poetry into music and from the piano they are invading Europe with four hands and with a cascade of notes. After Rubinstein’s Tarantella and Brahms’ 16 Waltzes and Hungarian Dances, I could hardly not shout in the theatre: “Fantastic!”… because the music dragged me towards memories of the waters of their land, where the origin of life still emanates with an arcane scent from the marshes of the immense estuary.” (…)

“Sull’argine di Babadag”

“La madre del dottor Zivago suonava la balalaica, lui era un poeta. Nel caso delle gemelle Puiu è invece accaduto il contrario. Figlie di una delicata poetessa romena, che le ha chiamate Beatrice e Laura in omaggio a Dante e Petrarca, esse hanno trasformato la poesia in musica e dal pianoforte stanno invadendo a quattro mani l’Europa con una cascata di note. Dopo laTarantella di Rubinstein e i 16 Valzer e le Danze Ungheresi di Brahms, a stento sono riuscito a non urlare in teatro: “Fantastiche!”. Anche perché la musica mi trascinava verso ricordi d’acque della loro terra, dove dalle paludi dell’immenso estuario emana ancora con profumo arcano l’origine della vita.” (…)

Piotr Lachert (Polish pianist, composer and writer)

“Laura and Beatrice have received the privilege only the greatest of the great musicians were granted with, and that is the very rare quality of possessing “the Whole” and of reproducing it in full harmony while playing. Crystal clear piano technique, intuitive and intelligent understanding of the in the musical notation hidden composers’ proposals, colour […]
