“…performances (whose) idiomatic command, technical mastery and unsullied integrity of vision (make one) think right back to the days of Schnabel and Fournier, Solomon and Piatigorsky." – Musical Opinion (London)

Cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han rank among the most esteemed and influential classical musicians in the world today. The talent, energy, imagination and dedication they bring to their multi-faceted endeavors as concert performers, recording artists, educators, artistic administrators and cultural entrepreneurs, go unmatched.

Their duo performances have garnered superlatives from the press, public, and presenters alike. London's Musical Opinion said of their Wigmore Hall debut: "They enthralled both myself and the audience with performances whose idiomatic command, technical mastery and unsullied integrity of vision made me think right back to the days of Schnabel and Fournier, Solomon and Piatigorsky."

Their engagements take them to some of the most prestigious venues and concert series across the United States, including San Francisco Performances, Stanford Lively Arts, New York’s 92nd Street Y, Washington’s Kennedy Center and Dumbarton Oaks, Wisconsin’s Union Theater, Milwaukee’s Pabst Theater, UCLA’s Performing Arts Series, Atlanta’s Spivey Hall, and the University of Chicago’s Mandel Hall, Boston’s Gardner Museum, Princeton University Concerts, University of Iowa’s Hancher Auditorium, Cleveland Museum, New Orleans Friends of Chamber Music, Santa Barbara’s UCSB Arts and Letters, and Aspen’s Harris Concert Hall.

The duo has also toured Mexico, Canada, the Far East, Scandinavia and continental Europe to unanimous critical acclaim. Highlights from recent seasons include their debuts in Germany, and at Finland’s Kuhmo Festival, as well as their presentation of the complete Beethoven cycle in Tokyo, and their signature all-Russian program at London’s Wigmore Hall.
