Sheku and Isata, the charismatic siblings from the talented Kanneh-Mason family, announce their first duo album, Muse – a selection of music for piano and cello composed by Samuel Barber and Sergei Rachmaninov. Release is 5th November on Decca Classics, the recording captures the siblings' musicality and refined skill from years of performing together – both at home and in recitals worldwide.

Both the Rachmaninov and Barber cello sonatas found a natural place in Sheku and Isata's concert programmes before the pandemic. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, they found shared enthusiasm along with a familiar comfort in playing the pieces together.
