MENDELSSOHN & BRAHMS - THE ORIGINAL PIANO ROLL RECORDINGS CD

These unique fascinating discs bring you original performances from original piano-rolls in full digital sound. These are not acoustic or electric recordings re-mastered, but actual performances recorded for mechanical reproducing pianos (Ampico, Duo-Art and Welt Mignon) by the great composers and interpreters between 1904 and 1935.
