Topic: Positive Feedback about Pianoteq at Pianoworld.com
Hello All,
I thought I would share with you some positive feedback garnered at the pianoworld.com website, regarding the sound of Pianoteq.
A little more than a week ago, I submitted my live performance of Maurice Ravel's "Alborada" from his suite "Miroirs", using the C3 piano and its stock Solo Recording microphone setup. The purpose of this effort was NOT to deceive, but to ask for opinions and comments about the performance and sound of the piano. I deliberately withheld the origin of the piano's sound, so as not to bias the forum members' opinions, one way or another.
Here is the URL to that thread at Pianoworld:

Some readers were able to tell the sound was via Pianoteq; this was most likely because the file name included the name Pianoteq. Duh!!! The most satisfying feeling I derived from this thread was the manner in which the sometimes "diehard" or "purist" members were very complimentary about the sound. Specifically, there were very positive comments regarding how amazed they were that a digital piano was capable of eliciting such an "orchestral" pallete of sounds.
I quite agree that the C3 with PTQ3.5 is an amazingly "musical" sounding instrument, and allows me to capture nuances that even EQWL's 90GB Bosendorfer is not able to capture. In fact, the C3 allows my technique to coax out nuances in my performances that only a piano the caliber of a good Steinway B (7') or better -- or its competitors of like- or better quality -- can achieve.
Cheers,
Joe
