Because, I believe, Brautigam recorded the solo works of Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven in a church. Thus, to my years the 1819 Graf he uses for the later Beethoven sonatas sounds much less typical of a Graf. However, I don't find that to be the case at all for the Walter he uses for earlier works. [EDIT]: The two fortepianos he used for the Beethoven Sonatas+Variations were built by Paul McNulty. That may explain part of the enhanced brightness of tone in the Graf.

Inspired playing by maestro Brautigam here, his virtuosic technique ever in the service of refined artistic sensibilities. Thanks for sharing.
Timeless music
La perfección musical.
Mozart’s Hands (Gone)
doesn't sound like a modern grand, but doesnt sound like a fortepiano either...
