“In contrast to other forms of music, Classical Music requires a higher quality of sound reproduction to reflect the subtle nuances of the original recording and it is for this reason that audiences around the world have often shunned MP3 downloads in favour of CDs. Now with the introduction of lossless audio downloads, classical music lovers can finally enjoy these recordings in the exact manner they were meant to be listened to.” – Daniel Levy
Daniel Levy, the world-renowned classical pianist, has drawn consistent praise from both critics and the public for the deep integrity and poetic sensibility that he transmits through his instrument. His ability to build an intimate connection with the audience through the ‘passionate thoughtfulness’
The acclaimed journalist and Classical Music critic Bernard Jacobson had this to say about Levy’s playing and The Voice of the Piano:
“I have loved Daniel Levy’s playing since the first moment I encountered it. But it has taken this superb collection to remind me that he is an artist worthy to stand alongside, not just the Brendels and Lupus, but any of the most celebrated figures in the ranks of musical interpretation. However well listeners to these performances may already know the works presented here, they will assuredly learn many things about them that they have not thought of before–and that, along with the blessed willingness to take risks, is what distinguishes great artistry from mere craftsmanship.”

The 2009 release of The Voice of the Piano represents an important artistic and cultural milestone because of the quality of the interpretations and sound in each recording, and the fact that Edelweiss Emission is able to offer its followers around the world this special edition in a lossless compression format (FLAC) which delivers the same quality and sound data as a CD.
