Welte-Mignon Audio Recordings on CD
By Robbie Rhodes

Each year the GSM, the German mechanical music society, sends all its
members a Christmas present enclosed with the December issue of its
journal.  The 2001 present was a CD of T-100 (Red) Welte-Mignon rolls
recorded by famous pianists, played by a Welte Vorsetzer on a new
Steingraeber E-272 concert grand piano.  The CD was realized by player
piano expert Peter Zergiebel, of Rodewisch, Germany, in cooperation
with GSM and Klaviermanufaktur Steingraeber & Soehne of Bayreuth.

  "Die Elite der Pianisten", HB 80300
  "The elite pianists of the early 20th Century on Welte-Mignon"
  Vol. I.: Compositions by Brahms, Chopin, Liszt und Schubert,
  performed by Backhaus, Busoni, Carreno, Nikisch, Pugno, Schnabel,

Herr Zergiebel plans more CDs with the Welte-Mignon Vorsetzer:
