0:18:23 > 0:18:26Tops. That was a nice one. That was a better one.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40This is Suher Pekinel.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43And there, a piano's length away, is Guher.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Physically, they are uncannily alike.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Pianistically, you certainly can't distinguish them

0:18:48 > 0:18:49at a single hearing.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Their appeal springs from that uncanny rapport

0:18:54 > 0:18:56which belongs to identical twins.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58But how does it work in practice?

0:18:59 > 0:19:01You know, when you look to each other,

0:19:01 > 0:19:05the eye takes away a lot of concentration.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08And when we play like this, we don't have the eye contact,

0:19:08 > 0:19:12so the concentration is even more on the ear

0:19:12 > 0:19:14and I know how she will react and I feel it.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18It's only a feeling. I can't say anything more about it.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09So now, from Nashville, we welcome Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn.

0:30:10 > 0:30:15Well, the next item Marisa Robles and I have played many time.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18It's a piece Mozart wrote - in spite of him hating the flute.

0:30:18 > 0:30:20He wrote it for a father and his daughter

0:30:20 > 0:30:22but, although you notice my grey hair,

0:30:22 > 0:30:25Marisa is not my daughter - she only looks like my daughter.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27We're going to play for you the last movement

0:30:27 > 0:30:29of Mozart's Concerto For Flute And Harp in C major.

0:41:41 > 0:41:44as the leading British baritone singing in opera today.
