Romantic music revisited

Steel strings, heavy vibrato, 'cross-strung' pianos; these are ingredients used in most performances of romantic chamber music today. The full, rich sound is very much associated with the music of Schumann, Brahms and Fauré, to name but a few. But is this what composers had in mind or at their disposal when they wrote their music?
Consider this: gut strings were commonly used by all string players until the 1930's.
And; vibrato was considered a special effect, which could be used now and then, not all the time. And also, 19th century grand pianos were mostly parallel strung, giving a clearer and leaner sound.

The Erard Ensemble, named after the great 19th century piano inventor and manufacturer Sebastien Erard, seeks to create performances based on the idea that what composers had at their disposal suited their musical expression. Using gut strings and parallel strung pianos (often original Erard pianos), the Erard Ensemble explores the romantic repertoire performing not only famous masterworks but also forgotten, though very beautiful music by composers such as Robert Fuchs, Joseph Jongen and Carl Krill.

The Erard Ensemble consists of members from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, together with Dutch pianist Edward Janning.
They have performed in concert in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Radio- and cd-recordings are available with works by Jongen, Fauré, Ravel and Caplet. Recently, the Erard Ensemble embarked on a cd-recording project with the latest recording techniques by Binaural. The first cd in this project will be released fall 2007 with compositions by Schumann, Mahler and Krill.
