フォルテピアノでの素敵な演奏をありがとう！

[@Mystery_Tramp]

This is brilliant. Well done.

My dream to own a Pleyel Piano from the age of Chopin. So much richness, nostalgia, within a cabinet of wood, metal, and felt.

[@thecozytrader00]

Amazing instrument and interpretation, this pleyel sounds like magic, wish someone recorded alkan pieces on old pianos

[@fulcherpj]

A beautiful piece played by an expert performer on a wonderful instrument, exactly as Chopin would have heard it! It doesn’t get any better than this!!

[@gildonpamittan6162]

Such an intimate interpretation. I come here from time to time whenever I want to hear this kind of sound in that piano

[@joseandresnavarro6866]

Thank you, very glad to hear that!

[@pnoman316]

This was is voiced well and the bass doesn't over power the treble!

[@robertbaisch4734]

what an instrument!! amazing, even on mp3

[@jostephenz3260]

Robert Baisch beautiful indeed! Such a warm welcoming tone. I dont know how to describe, but it has this veilied tone, like theres a piece of velvet over the tone.

[@EruannaArte]

wow I really love your way of playing!!

[@kimsahl8555]

The pianist and piano is a very good match.

[@gerardpaire304]

C'est une belle interprétation, très personnelle, très pensée en fonction de l'instrument, même si à mon goût -- et je dis bien, à mon goût, il n'y a là aucun jugement de valeur -- le rubato me semble par moments un peu trop marqué. Le piano est absolument superbe ! Je ne sais pas si Chopin a pu jouer sur un tel instrument ou équivalent, mais si oui on comprend mieux pourquoi il jouait "piano", tant la palette sonore est riche, équilibrée et subtile. Merci beaucoup.

Was the tuning in Chopin's period different from the one in today? The G sounds like F# to me.

[@BluntofHwicce]

Yes, it's probably tuned to A= 435 which was standard in France during the latter 19th century, or perhaps a bit lower.

[@wimvanmoerbeke]

Could you tell me from which collection this Pleyel is ? Thank you

[@joseandresnavarro6866]

Paul Badura-Skodas Collection in Kremsegg Castle (Austria)

[@deepcosco]

Is a different tonality?

[@thecozytrader00]

432 hz ?

[@geiannicaballero510]

I doubt, the piece sounds like a ballade in E minor

[@davidlucey1311]

I prefer modern piano

[@mr.p5446]

Sound is Very dry. Probably due to the age of the piano.

[@olipippocinque]

Yes hammer felt is not whith good density .... sound hard and acid .....😢

[@olipippocinque]

Felt Chopin time is 0.25gr/ cm3 ....😊

[@olipippocinque]

Helas le timbre de cette gimbarde est une offense pour les oreilles....
