Mikhail Shilyaev - Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Alexander Scriabin, Federico Mompou: Piano Bechstein, 1897

Mikhail Shilyaev uses a Bechstein piano from 1898 for this recording, presenting a programme of works (with the exception of the Mompou Variations) that were written around the time this piano was built. The pianistic sound worlds of Debussy, Ravel, Scriabin and Mompou are reflected in the sound world of this, their contemporary (or near contemporary) instrument.
