It was my recent privilege to hear Yuki and Tomoko Mack perform live, selections from their latest CD release entitled "Rhapsody." These gifted women play with a depth of passion that is exquisite. Delightful rich melodic tones fills the listener’s ear gate touching the heart and inspiring the soul. The Mack Sisters’ approach to the composers’ work and the keyboard is masterful. If you enjoy classical duo piano performances, Yuki and Tomoko Mack's "Rhapsody" is a must have for your collection. Gershwin surely must be applauding “Bravo!”

Amazing technique and interpretation
author: Ken
These two beautiful sisters play flawlessly and with great technique on this subperb selection of songs. But, Yuki and Tomoko also exhibit an unusually high degree of emotion and passion that I feel most pianists could only wish to have. I could not make up my mind on which one of these 3 cds to purchase and am glad I got this one. I would definitely recommend this cd for all fans and afficionados of piano music.
