Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween Everyone! In this episode, we play a spooky 4-hand piano version of Saint-Saëns' "Danse Macabre", arranged by Australian pianist & composer Wendy Hiscocks. This piece has been featured in pop culture and Disney cartoons and is a must-listen for the Halloween season.
The Mada & Hugh Piano Duo Podcast is sponsored by Cunningham Piano - https://cunninghampiano.com - they've been so generous to provide pianos and production space for our show! Today we get to play on a gorgeous 7' Bösendorfer 214 VC piano, the perfect instrument to bring out all the orchestral colors of "Danse Macabre"!
We also have a brand new Patreon account! If you enjoy this show, please consider supporting us. We deeply appreciate our new patrons, who get to enjoy special benefits such as early access to our episodes, sheet music of our arrangements, and more!
Madalina comes from Romania, home of Transylvania and the legend of Vlad the Impaler and vampire tales galore - but they don't celebrate Halloween in her country!
In any case, we hope you enjoy this spooky selection, and we wish you a happy (and safe) Halloween!
