Inside the Hearing Machine: Beethoven on His Broadwood is the engaging recorded outcome of a multi-disciplinary project from fortepianist Tom Beghin and collaborators at Belgium's Orpheus Institut. Inspired by evidence that Beethoven's Broadwood piano was fitted with an amplifying “hearing machine” to help counteract the effects of his increasing deafness, Beghin here performs the composer's Op. 109, 110, and 111 sonatas using a reconstruction of that piano and the machine, making for a release which is both historically significant and musically and sonically unprecedented.
