Piano that sounds like a piano


Some time back several of us agreed that it's hard to find a piano recording that really sounds right. Well, I have found one that's better than most.

SACD PentaTone PTC 5186 024 Beethoven Sonatas, Mari Kodama.

This is a new recording (Jan 2003) by the audiophile recording outfit Polyhymnia. It is a hybrid, so you can play the Redbook/SACD game if you like.

Nice music too.

My test track is Irmin Schmidt "Filmmusic Vol 3&4" -- "Aller Tage Abend Waltzer"
a unique blend of strong forte large octave notes and sonds transfer from mezzo piano to forte.
Becides that it's a unique piece of a great composer and piano genius of the 21st century.
