Seems rather odd to me to celebrate the history of Pleyel's unique pianos and feature composers so closely associated with them such as Haydn, Chopin and Debussy - and use an instrument (restored) from the time of Poulenc or Messiaen!

It follows from Collins' on stage experience of the instrument but, yes, odd indeed.
Thanks for drawing attention to the release, Wheesht.
