Liszt Consolation no. 3 performed on Liszt's 1862 Bechstein Piano

Sandro Russo plays Liszt's Consolation No. 3 on the 1862Bechstein Liszt Piano. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, Bechstein piano serial #576, originally delivered to Franz Liszt on March 17, 1862, has arrived in New York.

Ongoing celebrations of this remarkable piece of music history have so far included performances by renowned artists to a sold-out gala tribute to Liszt at Bechstein Centre. In a personal letter penned to Carl Bechstein, Liszt said... "For 28 years I have now used your pianos, and they have maintained their superiority. In a word, your instruments are perfect." Presentation of this famous instrument gave music historians, Liszt lovers, and pianists of all levels and backgrounds a rare opportunity to see an exquisite representation of German handcraftmanship and offered insights into the manufacturing techniques and technology of 19th century piano building.
