Pianoteq Kremsegg Collection 2.
Pianoteq's Kremsegg Historical Piano Collection 2 delves deeper into the treasure trove of the Kremsegg Schloss Museum in Austria. This exquisite collection features four exceptional instruments from the 18th and 19th centuries, each meticulously modeled to bring their unique voices to life.
Timeless Tones: A Classical Powerhouse
Just like its predecessor, the Kremsegg Historical Piano Collection 2 excels at rendering the music of the Classical period. Breathe life into Mozart's concertos or Beethoven's sonatas with unparalleled historical authenticity. These virtual instruments will transport you back in time, allowing you to experience the music as it was meant to be heard.
A Bridge Between Eras: Exploring New Frontiers
