Paderewski in Recital - 2 CD Set

Paderewski, one of the most famous pianists of all time, made a successful series of recordings for the Duo-Art piano in the 1920s. The Institute is proud to issue a 2 CD set of these recordings made on a fully restored Steinway grand contemporary with the publication of the original rolls.

"I am thrilled at what I have heard. A generation ago, I was not an aficionado of piano rolls, but these are in a different class. The performances convey Paderewski's style and musical speech, indeed his oratory."
Ronald Stevenson
