About this product
When the ORFEO tag was established in Munich forty years ago, surely no one with the music scene back then would have predicted that the record company would develop into a firmly established player on the classical music market. One of the tag's main priorities in the early years was vocal music, with opera rarities top of the list and since the mid 1980s the re-use of historic tape recordings. Big names featured on the tag's own productions, while ORFEO also developed into a talent factory by discovering and nurturing young artist. This InchLegendary PianistsInch 10 album set for the anniversary of 40 years of ORFEO tag history features nine pianists with historical and modern recordings dating from the 1950s up until the 2000s.

She has performed in Sweden and several European countries, the USA and South America. In recent years she has also devoted herself to recordings. Her albums, with solo music for piano on the Sterling tag, have been internationally acclaimed. All of them have a specific theme, with cover pictures by her father, the painter Carl Speglitz.
