I am listening to the most marvelous music, I really don’t want it to stop. Ever!
I’ve just discovered it. The artist is Bart van Oort and he plays the fortepiano. It is what pianos were in Chopin’s day and they don’t necessarily sound completely familiar, but van Oort is a magician the way he makes these pianos sing. I am listening to one of his singles called “French Nocturnes. I’d like to upload a photo here from my iPad Photo Library but apparently that’s not possible. :(
The first track is beyond beautiful. Check it out here:

The other one of van Oort’s recordings that I’ve been playing is also wonderful! It is a multi disc album “Chopin and his Contemporaries” and it is equally beautiful.
