A music critic of their recital in the European Press wrote: "...while hearing them one thinks, not of two pianist at two pianos, but of twenty fingers at a double keyboard controlled by a single mind". The duo was enthusiastically formed in 2014 by pianists Giorgi Latso and his wife Anna Fedorova-Latso. Since then, they have showcased a true passion, deep maturity and sensitivity in their interpretations.
