On this CD in the TACET series "The Welte-Mignon Mystery", Carlo Zecchi, who was twenty-two at the time and a pupil of Ferruccio Busoni and Artur Schnabel, appears in a totally new light, thanks both to his repertoire - which by the standards of the time was rather risqué - and his brilliant playing technique.
