Donal is doing well, thank you.
Your piano technique sounds so well-developed and sensitive (I'm a bit envious because I have small, cancer-damaged hands and arms), and you are an excellent conductor of the very convincing synthetic orchestra.
Hey there Stephen
Sorry for the late reply, but only saw your edit/update now: So very sorry to hear about your hands and arms - hope it doesn't cause you too much pain/discomfort!
Looking forward to some more music from "Donal"..
Keep well!
]]>One word : Bravo !
Hey there Borealis
Great hearing from you again. Very glad you enjoyed it. As you can hear, I'm really enjoying the Petrof pianos (although I haven't used the "Mistral" one very much) - it was because of your recommendation that I chose this pack, so thanks
Hope your new year is off to a great start, hope you get to write/produce lots of music this year!
Cheers..

]]>Gorgeous, just gorgeous--
One thing I love about the Ant. Petrov Recording 3 preset is the microphones and their placement and settings. I saved them as a custom setting, then froze the microphone parameters so that they would apply to any other instrument and preset I chose. Love the effect.
Hey there Stephen,
Thanks for your comment, much appreciated and very glad you enjoyed the Rachmaninov.
The Petrov pianos are really nice. I'm enjoying them very much - they are quite responsive with a big sound when needed. I still have only the "Stage" version of PianoTeq, so I can't really see all these settings or even play around with them to explore their effects. One day though, I will upgrade..
P.S. Hope "Donal" is well too

]]>The movement of this concerto make me slightly afraid or worried from 2,10 and from 3.20 and 4,26 but then wonderful climax from 5,42.
It's amazing, I feel that you put in so much effort in this. A masterful performance at the level of a great pianist, you are.
And Petrof sounds wonderful.
If you have not seen this the room where Petrof sound captured I put a link, very interesting:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm2-WPUr6P8
Thanks again for sharing, always a joy listening.
Best wishes,

Hey there Stig,
Thanks very much for your kind and detailed comment, much appreciated as always!
I'm enjoying the Petrof piano very much - so far I haven't had to do anything and it sounds as good as in the demo track! I had actually seen that video a few days ago - it was posted in the "Pianoteq User Forum" by miiindbullets in response to a question from another user. It was indeed very interesting to watch.
A wish for good health and strength for you, and everything of the best for the new year.
]]>brilliant playing! really outstanding
Hey there budo,
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it!
Keep well..
]]>Here is a short excerpt from the second movement of Rachmaninov's 3rd Piano Concerto, Op 30.
It picks up at rehearsal mark 25 and continues up to mark 37 (approximate duration 08:45).
I hope you will enjoy it, and thank you for listening !
Technical Notes:
For this I used the Antonin Petrof grand piano (the 2.75m offering, not the "Mistral" one) with the "Recording 3" preset. I did not make any adjustments to it other than turning off the reverb since I would add that afterwards via the DAW. Bravo Pianoteq for making this piano available - you guys have done an amazing job with capturing this piano!Performance Notes:
Originally, I had not planned on capturing the "Scherzando" part of this movement (Rachmaninov's Haunted Ballroom waltz episode..), since I had thought to play part of it only and then fade out the soundtrack. However, I did not like doing that to Rachmaninov's music, so I decided rather to learn the rest of the section and then had to record it in a separate session (since I'd already started adding in the orchestra parts to what I'd captured previously). I left in many of the imperfections since I thought that no one would believe I had played it otherwise I did make a video of me playing the movement as well, but decided rather not to add it because my fingers looked like baby carrots in the video for some reason..
