beautiful all around! performance, recording, quality, and the piece itself. really outstanding.
Hey Budo "Bill Evans"
Thanks for your comment! I'm still enjoying your "My Little Boat" and "Yardbird Suite"
]]>Very nicely played and the preset adjustments are excellent . . .
Kudos, Lanny
Hi Lanny
Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed the piece. The adjustments are still a work in progress though - I have only the "Stage" version, hopefully when I can upgrade to standard there are more settings to tweak. I'm aiming to make the piano sound like the one I remember from the exam room at the music school that I attended - long way to go though
]]>Kudos, Lanny
]]>Beautiful all around, what more to say!
Hi kencarlino

Performance Notes:
I use here a combined version of the excellent transcriptions of Volodos' arrangement that were done by Alexey Nemtsov and Alexander Norden. I did make a few small changes to these transcriptions, however these changes are just fun improvisations and not intended as corrections. I am grateful to both pianists for making their transcriptions available.*Technical Notes:*
Here I have used the Steinway Model D (Hamburg) with the "Closed Mic Classical" preset and some minor adjustments to the velocity response curve.A beautiful piece. Well played. Very enjoyable listen.
There is something soothing about the flowing melodic line.
My mind immediately went to Debussy, Clair de lune, the fast section and I wonder what Debussy would have said if he heard this piece. He probably would have liked it.And, the sound and reverb go well with the beautiful picture.
Thank you for sharing. Waiting for more….Best wishes
