Levi in Sweden

[PianistaItaliano]

Hi Levi, I use the windows movie maker with a free plugin to split the bild.The small keys is the free midi-program from vanbasco.you can find from Google.However, is not easy work, especially for synchronization. The audio is with the "Kontakt Demo" and the sound from Kawai ex-pro Acousicsamples. Computer One with RME soundcard adat, out to a digital mixer, from mixer out to Computer Two in ( soundcard adat) mixdown with the program Logic platinum.

[Leeviten]

@PianistaItaliano Thank´s! i will look in to the windows movie maker, i have also a Fostex HD-recorder which i can use in combination i think.

[atombomb31458]

well done! I listen to your songs while I do my homework, since it is rather relaxing to hear your playing. [:

[8307237s0]

hola sr. Gugliucci. Mi scusi ", come lui può chiamare il tipo di musica con i titoli in un'altra lingua? capire che si tratta di piano jazz e improvvisazione, so che la musica popolare, musica popolare brasiliana, bossa nova, ma come faccio a nominare le sue canzoni dal titolo in inglese e / o francese o altre lingue? ... grazie

[KhoiFishy7]

Excellent performance. I love this song. Is it possible for you to send the sheet music to me please? Thanks.

[Montytilly]

You are an exquisite pianist, I wish I had fraction of your talent.

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks ethan3110 , i used the kontakt 4 free .For more info, visit the link I have posted,please

[idaveit]

I followed your link and read, that the freeKontakt Player works for 30 minutes, than it must be restaret. Is that true for Kontakt Player 4.0.5 as well?

Thank you for your wonderfull playing!

Grazie di deliziarci con questa musica (che personalmente mi lascia sempre un gusto dolce-amaro, che non riesco a spiegare). Proprio bella, come del resto il tuo CD, che riascolto sovente.

Attendo e spero sempre di poter sentire un giorno il Waltz for Debby in una tua interpretazione.

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks for your nice comment vanishoggola, it's much appreciated

[Ilike2tubeittubeit]

Hi,

coincidentally, I listened to the demo pieces on the acousticsamples website just yesterday and thought the sound of the piano was pretty impressing ! Understandably, everybody is after sampled Steinways and Bösendorfers, but right now I'm really thinking of getting the Kawai !

How is the playability ? Does it compare to EWQL pianos ?

That's a very nice piece, by the way !

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks for the comment Ilike2tubeittubeit.

Regarding the "EWQL" I am completely disappointed. I bought the "EWQL" for a price over 400 €, then I loaded it on my disc, after nearly 3 hours. I asked myself: how do you create a piano over 200 GB, and then to the left

the acoustic resonance of the "sustain pedal" on the latest high eighth? All these improvements can be found in the Kawai EX-Pro.

[PianistaItaliano]

I could write a book about the shortcomings of "EWQL" unfortunately there is not much space here. I just say, I wanted to sell the "EWQL, unfortunately here in Gemany, you have no right to return back the software. So now is in my library, but I use it almost never

[Ilike2tubeittubeit]

@PianistaItaliano.: thanks for your reply. Deciding what library to buy is really difficult since usually you cannot  "try before you buy". Right now, I'm torn between the Kawai Ex-Pro and the Bluthner Digital Model One...the later has a sound that imho suits Jazz pieces really well.

[PianistaItaliano]

@Ilike2tubeittubeit, the Bluthner Digital Model One, yes, I have heard, not bad sound,but I have not tried. However, I think that is too expensive risk for the price of over $ 300

[Cimegs5088]

office chair and piano = win

[PianistaItaliano]

comment + Cimegs5088= Thanks

[TweedleDee1]

This is just delizioso! A Kawaii console is what we owned, and I took lessons on, 138 years ago! A

very good sound. (The piano, not me!) Cheers, ~Terry

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks Tom

[njmaestro]

très charmant Alfonso, je l'aime. il y a quelque chose sur comment vous jouez, un peu de "je ne sais quoi" peut-être? ou est-il simplement savoir faire? Nathan

[PianistaItaliano]

Merci Nathan, je suis désolé, mais je comprends ce que tu veux dire, s'il vous plaît pouvez-vous poser la question différemment?

[njmaestro]

non, c'est plus admiration qu'une question =]

[PianistaItaliano]

Ah, merci, excusez-moi, mais mon français est très pauvre :)

[Nielsio]

Julie London has a very nice version of The Good Life on her album A Touch Of Class from 1963.

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks for the comment Nielsio, yes I know that version with Julie great voice, and with beautiful orchestral arrangements.
