  • No,I'm sorry, both pieces were taken from the recordings.

  • Please teach me a name of this music.

  • The two tunes are in part: Hymn to Freedom, Oscar Petersen and Echoes of Spring Willie "the Lion" Smith

  • @Renga488 - Donald Swann swore by his 1920s Bechstein which sounds GORGEOUS in the old Flanders & Swann recordings (and God knows Swann gave it no quarter, nowhere to hide any weaknesses). I can't get over just how cheap they are these days compared to equivalent Steinways and Bösendorfers!

  • @heavensomewhere - which is the venue for which the Imperial was created!

  • @flashpadxxx - lucky bastard! =D

  • @rolandatheola - FAR better. Steinways these days are mass-produced junk, a too-bright, tinny tone, lots of nasty buzzing resonances. There's the odd excellent one but, having been to their sales on a number of occasions, the majority are nothing special. A Bösendorfer, even an ordinary 6ft or so one, is a true work of art. Mine sounds richer and more mellow than this, but I suspect this one could use some toning work! Mine's also much older, built 1917. It's WONDERFUL: I love it!

  • @rolandatheola People with Steinways trade theirs in for a Bosendorfer. I won't perform or record on anything but.

  • @dragonsagoth666 Intricate? What do you mean sir? Cheers

  • Beautiful

    

  • @rolandatheola

    Subjective, but Bösendorfer is a lot more intricate than Steinway. I love them more than any other piano, save for Kawai and Shigeru Kawai.

  • I frequent the Mises institute here in Auburn and have access to this piano more or less whenever I ask nicely ^_^

  • @robertoppenheimer

    OK ... It WAS an 'Opinion; and not a 'Fact'.

    As far as the quality of Steinways goes, the only ones I can personally testify about are the Model A (particulary the ones made in the late 20's) and the Model B (the ones made in the late 30's) ... the other variations are good quality Pianos but ONLY the two I mentioned compare favorably with the Bosendorfers.

    My highly biased 'Opinion' is that the sound of the early Steinway Grands has never been exceeded.
