Performers and repertoire

Alberto Boischio and Daniele Rinaldo — two concert grand pianos. A programme of twentieth-century classical repertoire with popular and jazz-derived influences, not a jazz improvisation album.

Recording and mastering

The historical album notes describe two Steinway & Sons concert grand pianos. The two selling-file variants are specified at different resolutions (96/24 and 88.2/24); without production evidence, the source tapes and dates of subsequent remastering are not asserted.
