Beethoven op.110 - 1st & 2nd mvmts
on: February 16, 2007, 06:37:29 PM
Heres beethoven a-flat op.110 1st & 2nd movments. Comments def. welcomed
Sorry the piano is not very good - steinway baby grand as I recorded the other tracks on (scarlatti, haydn, rachmaninoff).  The engineer was good and had a separate microphone for room ambience, then mixed them later (I wasn't there, don't know what kind of software)

Very good indeed.
Once again you are playing with great clarity and evenness.
The sound is different in this recording compared to your Haydn and Rachmaninoff recordings.
Were these recorded with different setups?

thansk for the comments! No, this was the exact same setup (same session even).  I will email the engineer and ask exactly what equipment he used since others wanted to know.

Maybe the engineers final mix down of the various mics were different in this recording.
It sounds as if miked from a distance whereas the others sound as close miked.
