The series gathers together a wide variety of recordings by Daniel Levy that have been recorded over a successful 25 year period of intensive artistic activity and instrumental virtuosity, with a repertoire that includes music for solo piano, for piano with orchestra, chamber music and lieder. The series is made up of new releases and a number of carefully selected re-editions of Daniel Levy’s earlier recordings.

For this celebration, the legendary piano makers Steinway & Sons have conferred a special acknowledgment to Daniel Levy as a “Steinway Artist” for his significant contribution to music.

Steinway & Sons would like to express our cordial congratulations, and look forward to being a part of Daniel Levy’s wonderful musicianship in the future.” Gerrit Glaner, Steinway & Sons

The acclaimed journalist and Classical Music critic Bernard Jacobson had this to say about Daniel Levy’s playing and The Voice of the Piano:

“...Everything I have heard of his work since then has confirmed my view of him as one of the finest musicians now before the public. Whenever he plays a piece I thought I knew well, he ends by telling me things about it that I had never thought of before. It is surely that gift, along with the blessed willingness to take risks (backed by the cast-iron strength of technique necessary for any successful piano-playing), that distinguishes great artistry from mere craftsmanship….”

Below is an extract from Bernard Jacobson’s original review of The Voice of the Piano:

“I have loved Daniel Levy’s playing since the first moment I encountered it. But it has taken this superb collection to remind me that he is an artist worthy to stand alongside, not just the Brendels and Lupus, but any of the most celebrated figures in the ranks of musical interpretation. However well listeners to these performances may already know the works presented here, they will assuredly learn many things about them that they have not thought of before–and that, along with the blessed willingness to take risks, is what distinguishes great artistry from mere craftsmanship.” Bernard Jacobson
