Hailed as "a pianist to watch" by New York Classical Review and "a dashing pianist" by The Sunday Times, Daniel Vnukowski (also Wnukowski) tours throughout North/South America, Asia and Europe. His insightful interpretations of the standard classical music repertory are supplemented by creative projects, which resulted in a sold-out Carnegie Hall recital in 2019. In addition to participating in fundraising projects for humanitarian causes, he has performed many outreach concerts for remote communities throughout Canada and is Artist Director & Founder of the Collingwood Summer Music Festival.
thank you for the video....i have a digital piano and F308 plugin from VSL....trying to get a feel of the F308 sounds so I can have the same or close sound of my F308....other youtube comparison doesn't provide enough sound clarity coz they are playing way a bit fast to clearly listen to the Fazioli majestic tone
I know nothing about playing the piano but this video is brilliantly enlightening. I will be listening to piano playing with larger ears in future. Thank you.
bosendorfer and bechstein are the best in my opinion. i dont like the painful high notes as they need to be more sublime and the bass has to be accented. but to each their own with all respect ofcourse and hewitt does a good job on fazioli 278 and to read fazioli comes from italy is awesome
Amazing, cannot even understand how this was done technically. Both left and right Daniel's seem to be hearing each other / reacting and in complete sync. So laying down one track at a time seems impossible. (?) I guess it could have been done with several iterations / retries until perfect sync is obtained. Would like to hear @Daniel comment.
If I were a miljonair I would donate you such a machine. Your passion and love for the craftmanship of this AMAZING instrument is so beautiful. Fazioli, you make the most beautiful and most state of the Art (capital A) grands I've ever heard. Thank Fazioli, the owner and you for this amazing video
Daniel, in future presentations, talk less and play more. You are a very capable pianist and music sounds better being played than talking about it. No offense !!
A CORRECTION: Bartolomeo Cristofori is not just another inventor of the pianoforte, but THE inventor of the pianoforte and not in 1720 (NYC copy) but in 1710 (Munich copy). No other copies are known to exist. He was principally a Harpsichord builder for the wealthy in Florence and did not persevere in the further development of his new invention, that became the domain of the Germans for a later period.
When Daniel sits down at the piano, he creats magic! We are sooo lucky that he lives in Collingwood & is so generous with his musical talents for charity.
Nice one, I also like to channel the music of other people, during good, electric moments its really fun to do. No need to think, just play and think about the composer. ❤️ From germany
This is a great schooling for beginners to understand piano, it is not about just making sound it is about how do use the piano to recreate the composer ideology of the piece and consequence reinterpretation of any transcribe music
Very clear sound.... good for some types of music.. Ive played one..clean notes....But I feel its a little less musical...But then its in the top category and that too in a short time... I'd like to own a smaller one...
Overrated instrument. It has no character, no colors. My sense is there is something in the wood Steinway uses that give it the sound a certain complexity and depth, so you don't just hear a pitch with a basic piano (wood-metallic) timbre. Not every Steinway, of course, sounds amazing, but in an excellent Steinway you hear in a concert hall or other institution or conscientious owner's home, you get all these layers in every note, and a blending between notes that multiplies the complexity. I'm not a wine connoisseur, but I imagine (sorry if the comparison is very cliche) it's similar to what wine experts detect and savor. I don't hear anything like that in Fazioli.
Interesting comment. Actually, I have heard similar criticism many times. The reality is that at least 98% of world-class pianists exclusively perform on a Steinway.
Maybe one of my long-term goals will be to reach a skill level that justifies purchasing a Fazioli grand piano during their 50th anniversary. I've only begun my learning journey recently.
What a wonderful rendition of a beautiful melody by an underrated composer. Do you do others from Die Tote Stadt ...? I guess it's an 'improvisation' instead of a transcription that you didn't write down ... which I sincerely hope you did!
