Pleyel and His Contemporaries

Categories: Recordings_CD-Overview_ENGLISH

Not only the program, but also the instrument is unique this recording series, which was released under the title โ€œPleyel Double Grand Seriesโ€. The instrument, built according to the motto โ€œone body โ€“ one soulโ€, was a guest in the Hungaroton studio for several weeks to immortalise its unique sound. The first recording of the โ€œPleyel and Contemporariesโ€ series was finished in 2000: the duo dedicated the programme to the founder of the Pleyel piano factory and the composers (Chopin, Rossini, Liszt, etc.) which were closely related to the Pleyel family.
