  • There's a lot of interesting but also misinformed debate on this page about piano makes. What a lot of people don't realise is the piano technician and hammer manufacturer can make a tremendous difference to the sound of a piano, so there is no such thing as a 'bright' piano make (the pianist can also make a difference!). Steinways, Yamahas, Faziolis, etc (and hammers by Abel, Renner, etc.) all have their own special qualities. And why has no one stood up for the wonderful Bösendorfers?

  • @dpabiel Yes, but Alkan's Allegro Barbaro is actually just one etude in a set of 11 others, the Etudes (in all the major keys) Op. 35. If you want musicality and technical study in the same piece, listen to some of the others (No. 3 is my favorite).

  • @dasklavierleben Not No.7? That's one of the most awesome pieces of Piano music ever!

  • Wipe it off the keyboard, your face, it's melted.

  • @JackGibbonsHQ Maestro, do you have any opinion on Stuart & Sons pianos? With their exotic woods, 97 or 102 keys, and $300,000 price tag (about $299,500 more than I can afford), they certainly stand out. I admit that I have not been overwhelmed by the recordings I've heard of them, but then I've never heard one played by a pianist of your caliber.

  • I can't improve on Shi7Disc0's comment. After watching this video I bought a couple of your Alkan CDs and your complete Gershwin CD set. Great stuff.

  • You made this song your bitch.

  • OMG!

  • @JackGibbonsHQ I dream to have a Bösendorfer one day .... this should be magical.. no, this GONNA BE magical...

  • awesome

  • Recorded in 95 ?!

  • Go Jack!
