My first impression is that, although there are slight variations in tempi and note values, it sounds too mechanical to be a strictly human performance, as if it were recorded on a Yamaha Disklavier at a slower tempo and speeded up. I agree with a lot of what Geoff said, except I think there might have been different mic placements to account for the more brilliant high treble of BBPT, for example. But I could be fooled by some electronic manipulations. Tom Cole Geoff Sykes wrote: >Very impressive performance.
