SFZ MUSIC, the independent label for HIS MAJESTYS SAGBUTTS & CORNETTS, are pleased to announce their latest release, a welcome return of the acclaimed partnership of Daniel Grimwood and the 1851 Erard piano. Their previous outing together, a recording of the complete Années de pèlerinage by Liszt was met with universal acclaim, having been Editor’s Choice in Gramophone (July 2009) and Telegraph CD of the week (July 2009), and five stars in BBC Music Magazine: “There isn’t a single dud among Daniel Grimwood’s interpretations. The best of them… match the finest I’ve heard anywhere. He has all the virtuoso velocity and firepower, and then some, that’s needed for the Dante Sonata” Malcolm Hayes, BBC Music Magazine For this recording, the piano has been completely reconditioned, giving it greater depth in the bass, clarity in the treble, and evenness across the whole range. The piano is tuned to the Bach-Lehmann temperament, creating new dimensions of tonal character and expressiveness.
