This is not an historical recording. Yet mysteriously the music is performed in an interpretation which is historically authentic down to the last detail. The key to this mystery is: the original performer was present at the recent recording session, but not physically: the music is heard on a modern Steinway. Never has music stored in the Welte Mignon system sounded so 'right' or so well. Thanks to TACET's much-praised recording technique, and because the Welte Mignon memory system and sound production mechanism have now been newly adjusted for the first time by the leading expert in the field - and are thus able to meet TACET's requirements..(Welte Mignon was invented in 1904.) The Welte Mignon mystery can now speak to us without distortion.
