Hear four Classical concertos in their intended form, performed on the type of piano that Mozart himself would have used, the RCM's Anton Walter fortepiano copy made by Paul McNulty.
This historical piano design from the late 18th century differs from the instrument we know today, with its lighter build, reduced string tension and distinctive timbres. Performing with these early keyboardists is a string quartet, a fitting accompaniment for these delicate concertos.
