The cello played by Roger Drinkall is an 1830 Pressenda, an Italian instrument crafted in Turin, whose wood also comes from the same forests as the Fazioli piano.
Recording & Production
The recording and mastering utilized multi-patented CVT (Constant Velocity Transmission) technologies from MIT, licensed to Wilson Audio Specialties, to preserve detail and enhance clarity.
