Description:

This is a collection of Beethoven's complete piano pieces performed by Tobias Koch, a German keyboard player who has developed a reputation as a period instrumentalist. From the beginning of his career, Koch has been fascinated by the expressive power of historical keyboard instruments, and his extensive musical and practical research has led him to select a wide variety of period instruments, including harpsichord, clavichord, tangent piano, fortepiano, orfica, pedal piano, organ, and romantic grand piano. The selection of these instruments has led to the creation of many masterpieces. In this album, he brilliantly plays five different instruments from Beethoven's era, bringing out the best of each instrument. Tokyo M-Plus
