Historical Recordings

Imagine....

Sitting next to one of the great piano virtuosi from the golden age as they give a performance that has earned them a place among the greatest of all time. At the Central Coast Piano Studio, hearing and experiencing (live!) hundreds of the worlds most rare recordings is now a reality thanks to the ground breaking work of Peter Phillips whose piano roll conversions have made him a leading international expert in the field.

A rare window into the past....

Listen and watch as legendary pianists such as Rachmaninoff, Grieg and Gershwin perform in front of your eyes.....
