Old and antique pianos are extremely fantastic they do have this very warm and deep sound i have an amazing a proksch grand piano nearly built in 1870 in Austria it has a viennese key action it sounds similar to the pleyel one in the video
Putting aside the wonderful sonority of this restored instrument, the pianist’s interpretative approach to this piece reminds of the great Josef Hofmann who made a wonderful recording for Victor in 1935; it had the same relatively fast and flowing tempo, very discrete use of rubato, which produces a total effect of elegance, but no lack of sensitivity; and not the stop/go pumping effect of overindulged rubato one hears in so many performances of this great piece. It’s a pity we are not allowed the full performance, anyway Bravo!
Who is this wonderful pianist?! His interpretation in my honest opinion is exactly what Chopin himself would've wanted; not too much emphasis or exaggeration.
Just read your comments, and I agree with you one hundred percent; and yes, who us the pianist. You should look out the Hofmann recording (it’s on RUclips) and see if you agree with me.
@@andrewharrison8975 It's my first time listenting to Hoffman and I would agree, his interpretation sounds wonderful! Thanks for exposing me to his recordings.
He’s playing slightly more slowly than Chopin’s marked tempo…it doesn’t make musical sense if it’s much slower than this as it’s in 6/8, not 3/8 or 3/4.
not really. Pleyel used the "so called" rabbit felt just on a few pianos. The hammers of these two instruments were the original ones, I've been so lucky to have found these two instruments that haven't been played much and the hammer heads were in great conditions
Hello why couldn't you Try Remaking A Daddy Grand Piano by putting on 88 Tuning Forks like what you did on an Upright Piano, Please do the Same Thing on a Daddy Grand Piano For Most of us RUclipsrs, It will be a much Better Idea For us so we can Try and See and Hear It Thank You.
It's the first restored Pleyel I hear that doesn't go too much honky-tonk. I think most of the others no longer have the soundboard in a good state (being so old), I doubt anything can be done in that case.
Hi, thanks for your comment. Consider that with a proper restoration those piano can be brought back to their original, wonderful and intimate sound. It's a lot of work but it can be done. Thank you again
Indeed!! those are the original keytops in Ivory. The were some missing that has been replaced with Ivory tops from other romantic piano that were to damaged to be restored.
I used this Pleyel for a recording two years ago - see www.naxos.com/mainsite/blurbs_reviews.asp?item_code=8.573589&catNum=573589&filetype=About%20this%20Recording&language=English# for a brief description of the instrument's interesting history - but haven't really touched it since then. So it is in at least as good condition as on the video, and I might be persuaded to sell it one day … It's very well documented with a restoration report, photos, etc.
@@ilovemycatrussell9298 that's the beauty of being different. If we were all the same and with the same taste can you imagine how boring this would be?
No, the french tradition used completely different types of materials on every aspect, including the strings which were way lighter than the modern american piano.

This piano is a treasure
Wow! It has such a charming sound, it feels like a time machine.

There is so much control given by the instruments clavier. I rarely find pianos from that era that give such a great control of dynamics.
very sensitive, I have tears on my eyes
I really wish we could go back to this instead of the overpowered sound of a modern piano. This is what I fell in love with.

A lovely interpretation on a supeb piano...dreamy...

Lovely piece of music. sounds ethereal
Play the G minor Ballade, and you'll know why history went with Erard.
Beautiful

Beautiful - I would love to have that piano!
Has truly 😂 a singing sonority...perfect for this bel canto Nocturne....
That’s chopin op 27 no 2 in d flat major
Yes. I really don’t like this interpretation. I find it too fast.
He’s playing slightly more slowly than Chopin’s marked tempo…it doesn’t make musical sense if it’s much slower than this as it’s in 6/8, not 3/8 or 3/4.
Is he wearing glasses or not
It would not appear so
Ekvitarius he is!!! In the first part he didnt then as the closeup shots came, he did?
Jo Stephenz maybe they were different takes
Hahahahahahajha
Ekvitarius Maybe? 😂

Beaver pelt and wool felt, according to modern research

Wow, has the piano been restored? The keytops look impeccable, considering the age.

Wow! The best interpretation I've ever heard. Does this fortepiano happen to be for sale?

I’m sorry, but I don’t like this interpretation at all.

If someone could restore my square piano from 1877 and make it sound like this 🥰🥰
Appropriate for playing Chopin in a historical Pleyel grand piano
🏵️😔🎶🥀
I wonder if the strings are same thickness as normal piano of today?
the strings are made from a different material
No, the french tradition used completely different types of materials on every aspect, including the strings which were way lighter than the modern american piano.
