About

This CD by original-instrument specialists Concert Royal presents music from the personal collection of the Austen family; music that would have been heard, if not played and sung, by Jane, her parents and her sister Cassandra. Performed in "drawing-room" style this is music presented as it would have been heard in Jane's time. The CD also includes extracts from "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma" and from some of Jane's letters to her sister, including the above reference to the family's forthcoming acquisition of a square piano, an instrument of the type used on this recording. Very different in tone (and tuning) to the modern grand piano, it is sometimes difficult to believe that this is the type of keyboard upon which many of the great works of Mozart were composed.
