All Music Guide

Steven and Stijn Kolacny have found an excellent balance for their take on Brahms' ever-popular Hungarian Dances that falls between a by-the-book reading and one reeking of hamminess. Their approach is all at once playful, graceful, not too light, not too heavy, and dramatic without being all about the drama. The central section of Dance No. 3 has wonderful accelerations that increase the music's intensity and decelerations that back away from it, but the Kolacnys know this isn't serious music. They restrain the intensity of the music without sounding restrained. In No. 4, easily the hammiest of the entire set, they also play with the tempos, but this time to bring out the contrasting meters. Dance No. 6 has incredibly short chords that are impressive not only for their smashing sound, but also for their exact togetherness in precise articulation. The tight ensemble work and the brothers' polished sound really lets the occasional quirky and opposing rhythms stand out, such as in Dances No. 8 and No. 10, whereas most duos gloss over them. Their playing is aided by the sound of the piano and the recording, which give the music a richness that isn't overly ringing. At times in the first dance, their playing and the sound combine to make it sound as if a cello were accompanying them. The Kolacnys give these dances a sense of fun and style that fits the music deliciously comfortably and naturally.
