About

Grammy award winning pianist Lambert Orkis and Principal cellist for the National Symphony Orchestra, David Hardy, have delivered an entirely new way to hear this spectacular repertoire. This 4 disc set provides the listener with 2 completely different listening experiences for these pieces.

First, the works are performed as they are most often heard in performance today, on a modern piano and the cello strung with steel strings. Next, the listener is transported into the time that the works were originally written, with a second complete performance on 3 period correct forte pianos, and with the cello now strung with traditional gut strings.

Both performers, who are each masters of modern and period performance practice, contribute to the accompanying notes for the album.
