Hi folks Thought I'd share with you a tidbit of a newly recorded concert in Bergen by the Philharmonic here in town. The whole concert will be broadcast on NRK in March I believe... I'll post a link at the time for anyone interested. This is an 11 year old Hamburg with original hammers.... I'd like to have them replaced but I think all in all I got the voicing to come out reasonably well... just a tad on the bright side for my part but then part of this is the piano, and the player... and the need to project over the orchestra. The recording accents the piano and in the concert itself it was not quite as dominant as it is in the recording... tho to be sure it projected quite well. This is just a small cut from the ending of the 2nd movement... where the instrument really showed some sparkle. Got a review in the local paper... a first for me tho it was kind of indirect... still the reviewer referred directly to the sound of the instrument itself and his comments were very flattering... if short and sweet. Here it is in anycase... hope you enjoy this short cut and get to listen to the whole concert when it comes through. http://www.pianostemmer.no/music/endsecond.mp3 Cheers RicB
