A rare journey through some of the most haunting of Carl Nielsen”s and Maurice Ravel”s output for the piano, including the latter”s Mother Goose Suite performed in a rarely-heard version for solo piano/two hands. Promises some of the very finest recorded piano sounds ever heard, due in part to a newly developed set of microphones and a very special acoustical environment.
