Minutes of observation - followed by hours of 'discreet' consultation - have taught him that Alfred Brendel likes 'a bright clear voice with a traditional Steinway regulation, but on the shallower side'; that Shura Cherkassky prefers 'a rounder sound, more malleable, with a wider tendency for colour'; that Alicia de Larrocha prefers her tuning to be 'very slightly distorted, to give the piano a warmth, to give the Steinway - a Bechstein sound'.

This looks like a good series, but the audio quality is bad. The microphone needs to be placed better. It sounds like you're in an echo chamber, and the bench creaking makes it very difficult to hear what you're saying.
