    I did not notice, because it wasn't
    listed on the page, and there was
    only a static image of Ms. Rubackyte,
    and I don't have ears with the same
    precision as yours.

    Fair enough. Consider this as a great
    opportunity to practice listening to
    and identifying piano sound.

    Happy New Year!

    Was it a real Bosendoerfer or a Yamaha Bosendoerfer?

    It is a wonderful performance. Unfortunately, the orchestra blatted the first note, sounds like it's in the next room, and the timpanist couldn't be discouraged one whit. But then again, you do have a penchant for recordings that favor the pianist vs. orchestra. Here, the orchestra is definitely in the back seat.

    Rubackyte does have a great feel for the music, maybe a tiny bit too forceful in the second movement, otherwise a great performance by her.

    Dude, methinks you are nitpicking too much.

    This is a live performance likely recorded
    in less than ideal conditions. Who knows
    where the mikes were positioned and how
    the soundracks were mixed and balanced.
    Give them some slack.

    They recorded that piano great - really sweet sounding. Too bad they shut the door to the orchestra. And I did give the performance some slack, when it came to Rubackyte's part. She was terrific. I used to be in the school of one-must-be-lenient-on-historical-recordings but I flunked out for using too many hyphens. Now I like good sound.

    Dude, that recording was made long before
    Yamaha married Boesendoerfer! 1993 to be
