About
The choice for the recording therefore fell on a Pleyel fortepiano, built 1848 in Paris and expertly restored using historical materials and methods. It is absolutely identical in construction to the instrument that Chopin owned, and thus represents an authentic sound testimony.
For acoustic reasons of the sound of the original instruments, the Oberstrass Church in Zurich (First Piano Concerto) and the Vienna Musikverein in Vienna (Second Piano Concerto) were chosen as recording venues.
The orchestras La Scintilla conducted by Riccardo Minasi and the Wiener Akademie conducted by Martin Haselböck also played on historical instruments. We hear in each case the historical versions by Jan Ekier.
Margarita Höhenrieder's careful recreation of the authentic Chopin sound gives the listener highly interesting insights into music history.
