The origins of this project go back to 2022, when I was invited to perform on a rebuilt Pleyel 280 concert grand piano dating from 1937. The piano had been completely restored and rebuilt by Matthias Maurer of Piano Workshop, Puidoux, Switzerland and the concert was to take place in neighbouring Cully, as part of the festival Lavaux Classic 2023. The concept of the concert was to have two concert grand pianos on stage, a Steinway D and the Pleyel. I was to play a programme on both pianos, allowing the audience to compare the two instruments.
