Rather than a hindrance, being independent of large corporate interests is a source of strength for TwoPianists. Adopting an art-centred approach to creating albums, each recording project is an intimate artistic journey, allowing the musicians to have an active participation in production and sound engineering, as well as freedom in questions of interpretation and program choice.
