Piano Duets: Live in Berlin 93/94 was released by FMP. [2] In a five-star review, AllMusic stated that "There is no jazz, no rock, no free improv, no classical, no blues, or new; all these distinctions lose their meaning the beginning this duo commences playing here. What is left is music, a sonorous organization of vibration in the air. [...] The listener is left literally breathless, unable to relax yet unable to move, except maybe toward the stereo to hit 'repeat'." [3]
