Paralellinterpretations: Pianoteq historic Keyboards-Bechstein digital

Oops there was a "h" to much in "http" here is the correct Link:
L.v.Beethoven Sonate op.57 Appassionata
(Is there in this Forum any chnce to edit a posting since I do make awful much mistakes I often need to correct later?)

nice rendering!  though of course our Pianoteq Broadwood (1796, english action), while admirably suited for the likes of Cramer, Dussek, or perhaps Haydn, is not really the best choice for Op. 57 (1804-6, clearly written for a beefier instrument with viennese action)... if only we had a version of LvB's 1803 Erard to cover these great middle-period works or, better yet, one of N. Streicher's instruments from this time!  (see for instance "Beethoven's Erard piano: its influence on his compositions and on Viennese fortepiano building", Tilman Skowroneck, Early Music, Volume XXX, Issue 4, 1 November 2002, Pages 523–539 ==> http://www86.zippyshare.com/v/kEqyS8pA/file.html; and for further interest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnL9PIMH1nk).  i had taken a stab at doing an fxp of the 1803 Erard based on the 1796 Broadwood, but am not really convinced by it ==> http://www.forum-pianoteq.com/file/8wc2ry1d what we really need is for the good folk at Modartt to do the job right... perhaps an instrument pack devoted to B's middle-to-late period instruments? 
here however is another comparison of Beethoven on modern instruments vs des instruments d'epoque (isn't that how Badura-Skoda labeled his recordings?) using pianoteq 5.0 in which i too shamelessly use the Broadwood as a stand-in... it's clearly closer in sonority and responsiveness to articulations than a modern instrument, but still not quite right for the repertoire we're putting on it:  http://www.forum-pianoteq.com/viewtopic...84#p943584
and comparison with a little Chopin as well (using the Pleyel): http://www.forum-pianoteq.com/viewtopic...41#p943541

edit: updated the fxp, & ps: it should ideally use the "small wooden room" IR waveform (simulating cabinet resonance). 

OK let's continue with some romantic virtuose "Fantasies" on Mozarts "La ci  darem la mano"
I hve done
- Friedrich Kalkbrenners: Fantasie sur la ci darem la mano op.33 with the Pleyel (1835) (Kalkbrenner is the one whom Chopin dedicated his first Pianoconcerto op.11)
- Sigismund Thalberg: Fantasy and Variation on two motifs of the Don Juan op.14 with the Besendorfer 1829)
- Franz Liszt Réminiscences de Don Juan in two versions.
a) Liszt: Don-Juan-Fantasy with Ossia with the Erard 1849
b) Liszt: Don-Juan-Fantasy without Ossia with the Erard 1849
(You will find Links to the Parallelinterpretations in the sound of a modern Bechstein under the player of each above mentioned and linked Pianoteq recording.)

You can find all recordings of my recent "La ci darem la mano"-Project including the original Duet and most of the other compositions based on that duet here http://klassik-resampled.de/lacidarem
I hope you have some fun with that as brilliant as inspired romantic pianomusic in the sound of Pianoteq period-grandpianos.

That Pleyel (1835) is quite nice.  It would be interesting to have the same file played on the 1922 Pleyel.
