The absolute best piano on the market. I just received a brand new F278 here at our store in Toronto Canada that Angela Hewitt personally picked out from the factory. She will be playing it again at Koerner Hall on Jan 14 sold out concert! Unbelievable touch , sound and playing experience! Truly 1 of a kind piano!
Even more than Steingraeber? 😮
Sadly the only high end piano I can find where I'm at is a Steinway. Love the Model B. Wish I could sample a Fazioli oneday🎹🎶
@@hastensavoir7782 Only second to Steingraeber agreed 👍🏻
I find that most of the BEST pianos are all similarly priced unless it has custom case designs @@hastensavoir7782
Really? I can't believe Steingraeber could be considered the best in the world...@@davidalarconquinones87
Holy smokes- This is by far the best sounding intro I’ve heard on this channel! This piano is the real deal.
Wow, what an instrument! What a sound!
Thank you, Maestro ⭐🌹⭐
You’ve played that bit of Mozart several times on your channel, and that’s the best I have heard so far.
Thank you for that - I keep practicing!
What a treat to hear this piano. The bass notes have a really rich sound. The strings seem to sound on for ages. Thanks for this demo.
I’m sold.
My dream piano
The sound of heaven
Hi Robert
What a beautiful piano in every way
The sound , from what I could hear in this video, was clear in every register.....especially on the last portion you played
It seems to have a brighter sound than some other brands, but the brightness to my ears is clarity
Not to mention your superb skill
Thank you for sharing it with us
Take Care
When pianos have pure tones, they can be voiced bright, and sound beautiful. Lesser instruments have to be voiced more mellow to hide the impurities of the sound.
" I'll take it !! "......😊
The bass section is just fantastic.
Now it only leaves the F308 for Robert to demonstrate!
Yes, I am looking forward to that!
I own an f308. They are indeed superb instruments.
Remarkable!!
The sound of the Tchaikovsky blows me away! The sonority!
Amazing piano….
I wonder how many piano technicians can maintain these instruments and solve problems as they arise (and they will, with normal use). It would be frustrating to have the equivalent of a Ferrari in the rural midwest.
This is the challenge of owning any fine piano. The best you can do is to provide a stable environment in regards to temperature and humidity, and find the best piano technician you can to service on a regular basis.
Did you notice that at the Chopin Competition in Poland they began the primary round asking contestants to play on historic pianos?
I must say that there still are many good grand-brands. I sometimes wonder if Estonia are making progress?
Estonia is making so much progress that they just announced a huge price increase. Estonia owner here
These pianos are very fine. But I would observe that if you’ve heard one you heard them all: it is an amazingly consistent product, top to bottom and across instruments. Not like Steinway where if you’ve heard one, you’ve heard one.
Few people are familiar with the “voicing” of a piano. The late and great, famous enigmatic, Italian master pianist Arturo Benedetti-Michelangeli (ABM) was in preparation for his first concert in Carnegie Hall. That sits some 2,000 people. A largish hall in Europe would be 1,000. ABM worried that his piano would not sound sparkly or crisp enough - which the Fazioli does enough in the video, but with little sustain - and ordered his tuner to make the Steinway D sharper. When the tuner was done, ABM test-played and ordered “sharper”. This repeated another or more times. ABM played the concert. The next morning, one of the major US newspapers (like NYT, WP) had the review: ABM played beautifully, but the piano sounded awfully sharp. If you as a pianist, and your tuner, know what you are doing, then you can change the sound of the “one Steinway” still a lot. The factory spends an awful lot of time to voice the hammers in the Renner or US action. Yes, they are all different. But that’s not the end of the story. ABM was afraid that 1,000 ladies in fur coats would take too much brilliance out of his sound for the people in the back rows to enjoy his music. The reality was that the reviewer in the front row was treated on the awful sound with the sharpness not yet taken out.
They are superb! However, like milk or white chocolate, a delightful indulgence on single bites, a sugar storm beyond that. A good old Steinway has that 70% cocoa I crave for. Again, the Fazioli is among the very best pianos ever.
a piano as great as your talent mozart is as well a person in music hystory just like u nice and fortunate fomr dinant belgium luxembourg
As a proud Fazioli F156 owner i can only wonder why anyone but the manufacturer wants to sell it.
We offer a new Fazioli pianos.
Beautiful instrument and well played. In my opinionated taste and perception, it matches Mozart very well. That's from a period when "piano music" got composed with a fortepiano in mind: limited (keyboard) range, clarity, parallel strung. Van Beethoven's earlier work is still under this spell. During Van Beethoven's life, the idea to have a larger piano instrument that could be used to mimic an orchestra in the living room, with a fuller sound, changed the scene and the tone. The Fazioli is much more transparent and crisp than any other brand (as-is from the factory, and I don't know to what extent it can be voiced differently).
While well played, the Chopin "Ballade" part, to me did not sing because of the crispiness. The word "ballad" means three things: 1- dance; 2- lyrical song; 3- epic prose. To me neither of these came across, tonally. Part of the crispiness is that there is little resonant coupling in the Fazioli between the strings at octave distance and that reduces the singing in the lowest 3 octaves. As the bass strings have less higher frequency harmonic overtones, they seem less impressive and this especially impacts perception of sonic quality through RUclips - most often listened to from a computer with desktop speakers (where the bass aspect of the bass tones is lost).
If this impression of mine were to persist in a live performance, in an orchestra, in a modestly sized concert hall, then I would say this instrument is an excellent choice for the master pianist exercising at home. It will feed back your playing very well.
Would I prefer a Steinway D? Not necessarily. It can play a large concert hall, but play Chopin ff at ffff and everything 2 grades louder because of the large hall and the music is ruined. I heard a world famous master pianist do that to Frédéric's music and Chopin had become Chaud Pain. Sending the grand piano into what is called "clipping" in electronics. I would prefer the building's smaller hall with a B or C and this specific Fazioli might work very well in there.
Likewise, it may also work very well in competitions where the members of the jury listen to the precision of playing the notes in the written music first. There's nothing to camouflage in there.
From Middle C upwards - beyond incredible.. however, lower notes into the bass, give me a Mason and Hamlin any day of the week!
It's hard to fully hear the full sound threw a recording especially threw youtube🎹🎶
Please understand this description from your Horn player follower and admirer. This instrument produces edgy, focused sound similar to comparing an Alexander (focused) to a Conn/Kruspe (broad). Also, this instrument brings to mind the era when André Watts began championing the Yamaha and Garrick Ohlsson started championing the Bösendorfer, both leaving the Steinway/Baldwin camp. BTW, although my Mother was a cellist, she was fine pianist and teacher who was recognized by the Chopin Society so I grew up with the Steinway sound. And, my late cousin, David Golub was a Steinway player who was fond of the Hamburg Steinways.
Well put. (Aside, see my comment-reply to @bifeldman.) For a musician the choice of instrument may have a pragmatic side: how well can my instrument "cut" through the other ones? That may be more important in a live ensemble/orchestra performance than in a multi-microphone recording with electronic mastering where the balance between instruments is controlled on the mixing console. Which is to say that, repertoire to be played aside, say, a musician may choose the Alexander in the live and the Conn in the studio recording performance. And, in the way the voicing (by your tuner) of a piano is a rabbit hole, mouthpieces in wind instruments are?
Well put! Yes. Mouthpieces for a Horn player are indeed a rabbit hole. Most Horn players have a "cigar box" full of the "ex-latest and greatest mouthpieces". And, many players think that the older Conn 8D horns (large bell throat) were the best suited for the Hollywood studios. In New York City, C.F. Schmidt and Carl Geyer horns were choice for studio recording among the freelancers (classical, Broadway & popular music; jingles) who then moved to Paxman descant and Engelbert Schmidt horn (medium and medium large bell throats. @@jpdj2715
Didn't know Estrin sold new pianos.
What is this piece??
The first piece is Mozart Sonata in C major K330, first movement.
@LivingPianosVideos Thank you sir.
Way better then Steinway tbh
Wow Robert you’re getting a number of brand new pianos lately. Not surprisingly top quality models.
