"(...) The Tacet label has approached the leading Welte expert to set up the original sound production mechanism and has recorded the results in excellent modern stereo on a series of CDs now numbering a dozen. (...) These treasures from the Welte-Mignon should be heard by every piano student."
- Audiophile Audition
TACET Musikproduktion releases the twelfth volume in its Welte-Mignon Mystery series, featuring reproductions of performances by Debussy and Ravel themselves using the unique turn-of-the-century recording system of Welte-Mignon player pianos.
At a time when the recording and reproduction of music was in its infancy, the factory "M. Welte and Sons, Freiburg i. Br.", famous in its time, caused a sensation with a new invention. A procedure had been developed by which "all nuances of the personal performances of pianists" could be registered and reproduced. The device for the reproduction was patented and called Welte-Mignon. By means of perforated paper strips, rather like punch tape, the playing of famous pianists could be reproduced fully automatically and authentically. After the first demonstrations the Mignon was hailed by the Press as a new wonder of the world.
