Testimonials

There is a wonderful warmth of sound and depth of tone from the focal point of this recording–Beethoven’s fortepiano built by Thomas Broadwood in 1817, and quite magnificently restored by David Winston.

BBC Music Magazine

…not many recordings so infallibly evoke a place and time as this one does. The instrument used is a copy (by David Winston) of a delicate, pearly toned piano made by Joseph Brodmann in 1823.

Classic CD

A jewel in the crown…Chopin’s 1846 Pleyel…now beautifully restored by David Winston

BBC Music Magazine

The fortepiano (copy of an 1823 Brodmann) by David Winston delivers a full, delectable matured sound with fabulous contrasting dynamic ability.
