Tom Sheehan again

[Ron Koval]

Hi all,

I went out today and bought Innner Voyage, the CD by Gonzalo Rubalcaba 
recommended on the list a few days ago.  Nice playing, but I was struck by 
the Fender Rhoades-type sound of the piano during most of the CD.  Another 
too-closed-miked and too much compression in post-production...  We've tried 
recording at the school, and I know how hard it is to get the balance right 
in ensemble playing.  Tough to get the tone, yet still get separation 
between the other instruments.


I pulled out the other CD I've liked for a few years.  It's been in the 
changer in my car for ready access.  It has the best example of piano 
vibrato in the beginning of the first track.  This solo piano recording has 
the proper attack and decay, good tone, though the performer overplays the 
instrument in a few spots.  I dug through my car to see if the tech was 
credited in the liner notes and yup!, it was Tom Sheehan again!
