Paolo Fazioli on CTV News at Showcase Pianos in Vancouver

[AxelVekemans]

I played one in a piano competition recently; didn't get the chance to sample it beforehand, and during my playing of the moonlight sonata I was marveling at how beautiful it was and kinda lost track of what i was playing.

[11vert11]

And at the end he was playing Schumann's Carnaval (Op.9, 12)... Mr. Fazioli is my kind of guy.

[YungKinLun]

FAZIOLI! YEAH!

[noair75]

THAT PIANO COST MORE THEN MY HOUSE.....yet i still want it

[EndlessMagic]

i want fazioli so bad

TOT

fazioli > stainway

[NataliaKartashova]

ye...Fazioli is really the best...so far what all we pianists doing, is practicing hours and hours to produce that kind of sound on another piano...but it's impossible...believe me,I'm concert pianist

[thesynthmaster92]

... and there is also a fazioli grand in our school. So I am allowed to get the hall for myself sometimes and play my songs and others. :) There are no words that could define the sound and the feeling when playing it. Every single melody, even if the melody is easy to play and simple there is such a great sustain and deep bass ... It's simply the best

[thesynthmaster92]

I read that it takes them about 4 years to complete a fazioli because everything is hand made and that's, why it sounds soo miracoulus. By the way I am very lucky because I live about 234 km away from Sacile, where the factury is :D

A little dishonesty in the journalism, the Steinway is still considered to be the finest piano.

[OneGreatPiano]

@demosj : If you do a little research on the subject (as did this reporter), you'll find that the Fazioli pianos (made in Italy) actually rate a bit higher than Steinways (made in NY) - and for most professionals, choosing Steinway is more about its wide-spread availability than its quality.

[thesynthmaster92]

@OneGreatPiano You're right. Every Piano is hand made. there is a Fazioli 280 or something like that (not a 308 but also a top quality piano). It is just like every time I am allowed to play it I feel like I am in another world. :D. And every Fazioli is signed by Paolo Fazioli himself. That's what I like best...

If I had 200.000 € I would buy a Fazioli 308, cuz I 'd rather choose the piano that I like best instead of a piano that is choosen by the majority of people.

[portentousjames]

@OneGreatPiano don't forget the quality of the austrian bosendorfer. That is the top on my list. It comes straight from the land of music!

[OneGreatPiano]

@portentousjames Yes! It's true!  Bosendorfers are fantastic pianos!! I had the option to be a Bosendorfer dealer, but I chose Fazioli instead because so many performers are converting to using Fazioli, and the consumer confidence in Bosendorfer has dropped a little since being purchased by Yamaha. Notice the video interview by from the VSO's principle pianist Linda Lee Thomas - a Bosendorfer owner. It's the "People Uncut" video that I've uploaded.

@demosj your nescience on the topic of the new standard(s) of the modern piano suggest that you should go back and do your research before making any more comments.

[TheMiguelosky]

Sorry ... attually it's the fazioli best piano. Look at Fazioli vs Steinway video and you decide who wins. Are different and wonderfull both. Is like Porsche and Ferrari. who is the best? No reply. PAgani may be. :D

[RP2008PREZ]

Can anyone message me and let me know what piece Mr. Fazioli is playing here?

[classicalmusic29]

He was playing a Chopin Nocturne, I don't have my music on this computer.

[rinsim]

Yes, Op. 9 n. 1

[RP2008PREZ]

@rinsim Thank you for identifying the work for me!!!

[RP2008PREZ]

Can anyone send me a message and tell me what piece Mr. Fazioli starts playing at 0:47? Much appreciated if someone can!!!

[sharbear901]

The Fazioli is the BEST piano I have EVER PLAYED!!!!

[mees04101993]
