“It’s a masterclass in duet playing and a pensively pleasurable exploration of the points at which the jazz and classical worlds meet.” Metro
“Duo Art shimmers and dances with European art-music references, which surface in the elegant themes, the liquid movement of Simcock's improv phrasing, and Goloubev's astonishingly light-touch lyricism and cello-like purity.” The Guardian ****
"The interplay between the two is like musical telepathy". Observer 4 stars****
Gwilym and Yuri have long been fascinated by the
expressive possibilities of their duo which started in 2008, at the
Musica Sulle Bocche festival in Sardinia and was an instant success.
Their concerts allow them to navigate a route through jazz,
chamber music and contemporary classical – their strong classical
backgrounds allow them to take experimental risks and incorporate into
both jazz standards and their own original pieces free improvisations
and excursions into the culture of European music, often interpreting
well-known pieces in unusual and unexpected ways that always intrigue
the audience and excite their curiosity.
