To bring out the Baroque aspect of Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin, Jean-Philippe Sylvestre wanted a piano with harpsichord-like articulation and sonority. That is why he decided to record this album on a 19th-century Érard, a very special piano "whose sonority and vibrations recreate the sounds, and thus the soul and mood, of the time of Ravel and of the first Impressionists."

For Tobias Borsboom, the year 2020 was a Novák year. Besides the Beethoven 250-year celebrations, it was also 150 years ago that Vítezslav Novák was born, a little-known composer whose work deserves to be heard more often. Borsboom took it upon myself to perform Novák's masterpiece for piano - Pan, a gigantic, impressionist tone poem for solo piano which sums up everything Novák had written up to that point.
