1) You dont hear any syntheziser nor any synthezised sound at all. Each single tone you hear is not more and not less synthezised than any other single tone of any other recorded pianomusic, since a sampleset consist in nothing else but thousands of detailed and precise recordings of the single tones of a "real grandpiano". 2) I know that lack of technical knowledge might produce also the misconception, that rubato and dynamics are restricted on striking the keys of a wodden piano. No this is not the case. The sequencer i use let me edit especially those aspects very prezisly. Of course all pieces need alot of specific variations in tempo and dynamic, which indeed are largly applied in all my recordings, just in the way I used to apply them while practicing and playing those pieces in the years before. Therefore, what you hear is not the doom of occidental musicculture, but just my however imperfect but human interpretations of Messiaens great compositions.best Steffen

This is my Version of the Vingt Regards by Olivier Messiaen recorded 2008 on a sampled Fazioli:
I didn't mean to imply that the lack of rubato and dynamic variation were down to limitations of the synth (and it is a synth, of course, a sampled synth is still a synth); rather, that you have deliberately edited them out. So I'm taking issue with you on artistic grounds here - allow a little more freedom for the music!
... there is in fact physically no difference between a recorded pianotone (all you can here in the mp3-files of the auditionroom) and a recorded pianotone (of a sampler) - beside the fact, that presumably there are not so much people playing on a fazioli ;-).
Hi Richard, Thank you for your musical intended reply. I did programmed as much freedom I used to take when playing the pieces. ... I would like to hear your version, to let me convince where more "freedom" might help to show the beauty of this music.
...in so far I dont use any sounds that are syntheticly "generated electrical signals" but recordings of a fazioli Grand there is in fact physically no difference between a recorded pianotone
