"Instruments by C. Bechstein are sensitive to even the slightest gesture and emotion transmitted by an artist and respond in a striking manner with sound spectra rich in finesse, clarity but also power and density."
Mirabelle Kajenjeri
French pianist Mirabelle Kajenjeri inspires audiences and the press "with a unique touch, manipulating some of the most challenging acrobatics with a (discrete) smile, disarmingly natural and generous" (La Libre Belgique).
