We open our day of music for two or more pianos with Fauré's delightful Dolly suite, originally written for two players at one keyboard. Mozart's double concerto is full of playful intimacy, while Saint-Saëns's playful zoological suite contrasts with Lutosławski's virtuosic reworking of a famous Paganini Caprice.
There's also a new work for two pianos by Anna Meredith, whose nation-hopping froms introduced her to Proms audiences last year.
