Following their critically acclaimed debut album on Audite Violoncelle Français the Cheng² Duo (pronounced “Cheng Squared Duo”) offers a compelling programme of music by Spain’s foremost early twentieth-century composers. The interpretations are again steeped in a rare balance of unfiltered youthful joy and enthusiasm in their playing on the one hand, and mature, historically informed and profound interpretations on the other – this special balance becoming the trademark of the Cheng² Duo and commanding attention from the very first note.

Violonchelo del fuego is the second release in a set to be recorded with Audite, with each album focusing on the music of a particular country. A further recording of Russian works for cello and piano is already being planned.

Since debuting at Carnegie Hall in 2011, the Cheng² Duo continues to be celebrated by audiences and critics alike for its artistic excellence, generous spirit, and compelling vibrancy. The Canadian duo is made of the siblings Bryan Cheng (cello) and Silvie Cheng (piano) and has been making music together for the past 15 years.
