For years, Margarita Höhenrieder was searching for the authentic sound of the piano works of Frédéric Chopin. Which instrument of his time most convincingly reflects Chopin’s music? Chopin himself had given the answer in 1831: “Pleyel’s instruments are the non plus ultra”!

The choice for the recording therefore fell on a Pleyel fortepiano, built around 1848 in Paris and professionally restored with historical materials and methods. It is absolutely identical in construction to the instrument that Chopin owned, and thus represents an authentic testimony of sound.

For acoustic reasons of the sound of the original instruments, the Oberstrass Church in Zurich (1st Piano Concert) and the Wiener Musikverein in Vienna (2nd piano concert) were chosen as the recording locations.

The orchestras “La Scintilla” under the direction of Riccardo Minasi and the “Vienna Academy” under Martin Haselböck also played on historical instruments. We listen to the historical versions of Jan Ekier each time.

Margarita Höhenrieder’s careful imitation of the authentic Chopin sound provides the listener with highly interesting insights into the history of music.
