Author: John Warrack
Païdassi and Vaysse-Knitter preserve the characteristic subtlety of their manner in Stravinsky’s two suites, where many duos go for a more robust and extrovert style. Stravinsky himself approved the ‘delicacy’ of his collaborator and concert partner, co arranger of these pieces, Samuel Dushkin, and in these performances it is an 18th-century grace, almost courtesy of style that informs their performances, rather than the more supposedly characteristic Stravinskian vehemence which many players go for. It is charmingly done, without a whiff of the sentimentality that Stravinsky would certainly have abhorred, and the recording is well attuned to the intricacy of textures which Szymanowski in particular requires of his performers.
