concert/recording voicing was: news articles

[Barbara Richmond]

So, Tim, you're an artist.  How do you gauge how hard to push the piano? 
Can you tell by the sound you're getting or how well you can hear yourself 
while playing, or do you depend on someone out in the hall giving the thumbs 
up?

Barbara,

Depends on the pianist and conductor; yes, good balances and
dynamic ranges are possible--with all composers!

With regard to the student you heard, it's a common problem
that most students need to address (and many pros too), that
they lack projection.  I think it's good to speak up about
it, but I understand your reluctance to do it just the same.

Tim
