perfect tempo... This impromptu is very often played too fast... But Kempff does it justice...Thanks for posting!

@hellomate639 yes, to match the quality of the instrument to the exquisite intention of the composer is truly an art.

Well, you'd be surprised since I think that they might actually have a series that they make by hand. I remember once I heard a piano that I thought sounded absolutely brilliant and I was surprised to see that it was a Yamaha, since I'm used to the brand being rather dull and uninteresting.

@hellomate639 yes, I agree. Of course the concert pianist play on the most refined models. I know the Bechstein sounds very good too, but the Yamaha I think does not come close.

Bluthner, Fazoli, Bechstein, Bosendorfer and even Yamaha are a few names that seem to compete with Steinway in sound. Only the best made of each can bring that sublime level that's just beyond anything else.

Sublime Schubert playing...this man was was a true artist. His playing had warmth and poetry. The music is laid out for you like a sumptuous carpet, and you hang on to every note. Few artists conveyed the essence of the music like Wilhelm Kempff.

Compared to the real thing, virtually nothing does a piece justice...
Steinways and equivalent and even better pianos are unbelievable in person. It's like you've left this earth. Simply one note is like heaven. Then you play a song. Then you play a song beautifully. You just lose all sense of reality around you. It becomes you and the piano and unimaginable bliss.
I've experienced this and can only mostly recall by my intellectual description because it really is unimaginable...
