[vid] Chopin Nocturne in E major, Op 62 No 2

This is perhaps my favorite Nocturne, at least for the moment 

Perfection of form and incredible themes and textures.

We have a very different view on Chopin (and you have ignored all my comments anyway!!! 😤😤😅), so I won't comment on the music itself.

The sound however is balanced in a strange way. The bass is very full and even loud, while the melody sounds even thin. Is that a conscious decision or was it something that the post production team decided?

I believe this was mostly a result of the microphone placement and post production.
I don’t mind it here, but it does not sound like most modern recordings

I listened back to it just now, I still feel some notes are too punchy in the right hand 

My favorite Chopinists are Friedman, Moiseiwitsch and Cortot btw
