CD Reviews

A scintillating aural treat

Bob Armstrong | Katy, TX USA | 02/13/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's wonderful that this delightful stroll into music history is available again. I thoroughly enjoyed its first production a few years ago, and each repeated audition adds to my appreciation of Edward Foote's experience and talent in piano tuning. The most revealing tracks are three treatments of a Mozart Fantasia recorded successively in quarter-comma meantone, Prelleur well temperament, and equal temperament. After the soaring notes of the Prelleur version, equal temperament sounds like a blanket has been thrown over the piano, dampening Mozart's brilliance into soporific mediocrity. Meantone is as expressive as the Prelleur except for several jarringly discordant "wolf" chords. I heartily recommend this CD both as an educational tool and as a record of exquisite piano works played as their composers intended."
