You look classy and absolutely beautiful as you play this lovely, touching piece. I love how your small orchestra enhances your music. Tell us about the pianos you use...we in the US have never heard the name before,
Hi Dixie, thanks for asking, I love talking about the Stuart and Sons piano. Im playing a 102 key Huon Pine piano with 4 sustain pedals. I believe they are the best in the world. Wayne Stuart reinvented the piano and as a composer I can say that there is no bend in the decay of a note, so the harmonics ring long and pure and the sounds are simply stunning. Please listen to 600 Years in a Moment (CD, SACD or Vinyl) or Christmas Joy (CD or SACD) to really hear the piano properly. And feel free to email via my website if you have any questions at all. More than happy to chat any time.
Again, back to the Stuart & Sons piano, how do they compare to Yamaha, Kawai, etc.? Is there anything that can compare to a Steinway, or are they considered lower end?
HI Dixie, When buying I think it comes back to budget. Absolute preference for me would be a Stuart and Sons or a really old Steinway B. I do love having a Yamaha when I'm on tour because they are reliably good and consistent. I had a Kawai at home for 10 years before I had a Stuart (it was all I could afford) and although it was n't the best piano in the world, I loved it like crazy cause it was all I had. If you connect with the piano you will connect with the music. I played a 100 year old upright the other night and I could make that sing and yet some brand new pianos I struggle with because they feel 'new' and somehow plastic. Its all so subjective - but thats for asking - feel free to email me through my website if you want to talk more about pianos.
