Alpha continues its series of 19th century piano music played on ancient instruments with Arthur Schoonderwoerd's recordings of Beethoven'sconcerti. The first volume of which gave tremendous pleasure to music lovers who discovered unknown "riches" in a work they thought they knew implicitly. Going firmly against the prevailing tide, Schoonderwoerd offers us colours, accents and tempi that cannot but deeply stir our perceptions of this music, so often biased by huge orchestras or by powerful modern pianos.
