Els Biesemans - Das Jahr

From the first floating tones on "The Year", composed by Fanny Mendelssohn upon completing a journey to Italy, one feels transported into another era. Els Bieseman's Fortepiano debut CD set exactly those strings in vibration that have been lost on the modern concert grand. The dreamlike sound of the Pleyel grand beautifully fits the transparent, structured and supple playing of the young Belgian.
