In 1986 Vladimir Horowitz was asked if his 1926 recordings made for the Welte-Mignon piano could be released. Having no faith in the technique he refused but some personal friends persuaded the great man to listen to the remarkable sound quality of the recordings and when he had done so, he immediately gave his consent. This release is of Horowitz playing those 1926 recordings.

These recordings contain some of the finest playing from the Great Pianists of the Early 20th Century. Some of the rolls from which these recordings originate, are nearly 100 years old and come from a collection owned by Denis Condon who is one of the worlds most respected authorities on the piano roll and has some 18,000 in his collection.

“The tour de force in this programme of piano rolls comes in the fast sections of Tchaikovsky's Dumka and the Bizet Carmen Variations, both of which Horowitz dispatches at superhuman speed.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2008 ****
