Duo Crommelynck was a renowned piano duo known for their exceptional performances of music for piano four hands. Comprising the husband-and-wife team of Patrick Crommelynck and Taeko Kuwata, the duo enjoyed a distinguished career that spanned several decades, beginning in the mid-1970s and continuing until their tragic deaths in 1994. They were celebrated for their technical precision, expressive interpretations, and the seamless integration of their individual artistry into a unified, harmonious ensemble.

The Duo Crommelynck was particularly admired for their interpretations of the Classical and Romantic repertoires, focusing on the works of composers such as Schubert, Brahms, and Dvořák, among others. Their discography includes a wealth of recordings that testify to their expertise in this domain, such as the noteworthy series of Franz Schubert's works for piano four hands and their complete recordings of Antonín Dvořák's works for the same genre. These recordings have been praised for their clarity, nuance, and profound musicality, serving as a lasting legacy to the duo's artistic contribution to the world of classical music.
