Violinist Joshua Bell
and pianist
Frederic Chiu performed on July 11, 2008 for the
Minnesota Beethoven
Festival. Mr. Chiu played the Festival's recent acquisition,
a 1930s Steinway 'D', SN 275188, recently restored by Joel Lidstrom.
Serge
Rachmaninoff and Alexander Scriabin were about eleven years of age when
Steinway 'D' 47562 left the Steinway factory for its concert home in
Steinway Hall. 126 years later, the instrument makes its Ravinia
Festival debut in Garrick Ohlsson's performance of music by Rachmaninoff and Scriabin at the Ravinia Martin Theatre.

"I was very excited to play Mr.
Lidstrom's 1883 Steinway. . . It is incredibly gorgeous . . . a
magnificent example of both the piano maker's and cabinetmaker's art.
The sound is as beautiful as the case, and I wish I could have it in my
home--though it perhaps belongs in the concert hall. --Emanuel Ax
". . . a great piano [with] a
superb action, a huge range of colour, remarkable clarity and a
beautiful, lyrical tone . . . expressive and remarkably reliable in the pianissimo range. --Angela Hewitt
". . . an instrument that reaffirms my
love-affair with the piano." --Garrick Ohlsson
