Enrique López Herreros
The Spanish piano duo DEM4NOS began to enjoy the repertoire for duo in Budapest, in a decisive stage in their personal and professional development in which they coincided at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music under the direction of professors Rita Wagner and Ferenc Rados.
After this period, the influence of Imre Rohmann, professor at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, has been of special relevance.
Their musical path has been enriched by the valuable advice of pianists such as Josep Colom, Claudio Martínez Mehner, Charles Rosen, Paul Badura Skoda, László Somfai, Joaquín Achúcarro or Lazar Berman.
They have had the opportunity to share this repertoire in many places around the world: Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, Málaga, Córdoba, Albacete, Murcia, A Coruña, Zaragoza, Salamanca and Segovia in Spain. Budapest, Istambul, Venice, Rome, Strasbourg in Europe. The last spring they developed a project focused in Kurtág music teaching and playing his music in Arizona University (Tucson) in the United States.
They have received excellent reception from critics and the public: „…they stand out for their bold and vital phrasing led by a thread that keeps them connected in their fantasy and in their hands” (Levante, Valencia); „the overall conception of the concert was pure poetry, the impulses of the music rhymed in time and space in an almost hypnotic way” (Arizona Herald, Tucson).
They have recorded two CDs: one with The Planets of Gustav Holst as result of the project Music and Astronomy sponsored by Caixaforum and the C.S.I.C in Madrid. The other one, after having been awarded in the Young Artists Competition of Castilla-La Mancha (2004).
Apart from the classical repertoire they are attracted by the music of the XX and XXI centuries and they have participated in several specialized cycles such as the XV Contemporary Music Festival in Córdoba. Within this repertoire they feel, since their beginnings, a special closeness to the music of the Hungarian composer and pedagogue György Kurtág, an inexhaustible source of wisdom and artistic sincerity.
