Famous Pianists Play on the Composers’ own Pianos

Some famous pianists (András Schiff, Vladimir Sofronitsky, Zoltan Kocsis, Elly Ney, Raoul von Koczalski) play on composers’ (Franz Liszt, Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Frederic Chopin, Alexander Scriabin) pianos (Liszt and his Bechstein piano, Beethoven and his Conrad Graf, Mozart and his Anton Walter Pianoforte, Chopin and his Pleyel, Scriabin and his Bechstein). There are recordings with historical instruments, but generally unknown pianists play on such instruments. I compiled recordings of five well-known pianists on historical instruments (moreover, the composers’ own instruments!). You can also see the historical change of pianos with this video.
