From a media release:
CD Releases and Launch of Honens Sessions Live digital series
by Canada's Honens International Piano Competition
The competition takes place October 17 to 26, 2012 in Calgary, Alberta
CALGARY, AB, August 2011 - Canada's Honens International Piano Competition has added four discs to its catalogue of studio Laureate recordings - the Honens Laureate Series - and has introduced a new live-performance digital series named Honens Sessions Live.
The release of these recordings coincided with the birthday of Andrew Raeburn, Artistic Director of Honens International Piano Competition from 1993 to 2004. Raeburn passed away last summer at age 77.
Minsoo Sohn's Goldberg Variations
was the last recording Raeburn produced after a long career as musician, arts administrator and record producer. Sohn's disc is dedicated to him.
With Sohn's CD, Honens and The Banff Centre expand their commitment to past Laureates of the Honens Competition by recording and releasing their projects beyond the three-year Artistic & Career Development Program.
Honens Laureate Series recordings are available in CD format from honens.com and for digital download from all major online music retailers. All recordings, made at Canada's Banff Centre, were made possible through the Honens Competition's Artistic & Career Development Program with support and guidance from The Banff Centre's Music & Sound Program.

Overall, each the texture of the keys and also the sound of the pianos are important aspects once selecting a digital piano for that special person or those special individuals.
