On this CD, four great composers come together to unfold various aspects of life and landscape, story-telling and myth, in 19thcentury Russia, their vast homeland. All the music heard here is famous already, known all over the world from theatres and concert halls and countless recordings - and it is famous for being expertly-scored orchestral music. Yet here those dazzling works are played on two classical accordions in the hands of a couple of brilliant young academy-trained Danes. That does sound rather like a fairy-tale by Hans Christian Andersen, so let us take a closer look at the bayan and at the musical masterworks that we are going to hear, transcribed and performed by award-winning accordion duo MYTHOS, a.k.a. Bjarke Mogensen and Rasmus Schjærff Kjøller.
