About
'Fever' is a powerful, impassioned portrait raised to the sublime by the magical sound of Claire Chevallier's Erard. A great collector of pianos, she lives surrounded by them; they are part of her daily world. It was after buying an 1876 Erard, Liszt's favourite piano, that she felt the presence of the great composer behind its very characteristic sound and found she wanted to make this recording.

The 1876 Erard that Claire Chevallier plays here sheds new and fascinating light on [Liszt's] music, and especially on textures we may think we known...There's no deliberate homogeneity between registers: on ascending and descending scales and arpeggios we hear a variety of colours...Chevallier's technique is up to all the challenges.
