An intriguing idea to demonstrate the difference in sound with the two pairs of instruments using the same interpretational approach. The instruments are, first of all, a fortepiano from the year 1795 and a 1761 violin with gut strings and secondly, a modern grand piano and violin with metal strings. The result is fascinating music in a double listening experience of a unique kind.
