I just finished another group first recordings of pianopieces composed by Eduard Franck, a gifted student of Felix Mendelssohn.

Now there are in total more than 30 wonderful romantic compositions recorded for the first in two versions. One in the sound of a Berndt-Grandpiano from 1848 and another in the sound of a 380 Fazioli. All recordings are based on purely and originally by myself programmed midi files.

You will find them in the section for historical keyboards/19th century and the modern Grand/romantic section of my musicsite, linked in the footer of my postings.

As a little example you can hear a lyrical prelude op.18,3.
the first with the 1848-Bernd-Piano, the second with the modern grand.
I hope  you like it.
