About

This stunning new transcription by MYTHOS of Stravinsky’s Petrushka has to be heard to be believed – marvel at the amazing sounds that emanate from these two accordions!

MYTHOS are performing these works regularly in concerts and the Duo has recently made its Carnegie Hall debut in the USA.

Russian masterworks transcribed and performed by the award-winning Danish bayan duo MYTHOS, winner of First Prize in the Danish Radio Chamber Music Competition 2011 and First Prize in the Almere International Chamber Music Competition.

I hope [Stravinsky] would be as stunned as I was: [Petrushka] sounds suitably orchestral in the hands of Bjarke Mogensen and Rasmus Schjærff Kjøller, and yet they also shed new light on it...A superb Russian programme, then, dazzlingly recorded and well annotated in the booklet notes. Awards should follow.

September 2013

Stravinsky's Petrushka positively soars on two accordions - perhaps unsurprisingly, as the ballet's orchestration is often likened to a super-sized accordion...Mussorgsky and Tchaikovsky selections translate well to accordion. A fun, suavely executed release.

20th April 2013

A few seconds’ exposure to Mythos’s version of Stravinsky’s Petrushka will have most listeners grinning from ear to ear. The rhythmic punch, supernatural coordination and dynamic control on display are startling enough, but it’s the rasping, transfiguring effect of the bayan sound that’s key. This score sounds as if it could have been written for these players; both orchestral versions sound pale in comparison...The composer would have loved it.
