TEN PROGRAMS

Rather than presenting “one” repertoire (on one piano, in one hall, in one idealized concert setting), our recordings feature a variety of ten programs, each with a certain socio-historical theme (e.g., Haydn teaching a countess in Vienna, or a London-based professional pianist playing a sonata on the concert stage), a certain type of player (amateur or professional, male or female, composer or pupil), instrument, and room. We’ve given each program a distinctive title and, to enrich the listener’s experience, we’ve selected images of contemporary paintings or engravings for display on the TV-screen as the music plays.
