This is a good demo of the default presets. However, I must say that most of them sound synthetic. Luckily, there are many possibilities to tweak the sound, even in the "Stage" version. I have Pianoteq 8 with just the Blüthner and the Bechstein and rather like playing them in my own customized versions. Try "Bechstein DG Recording 1" in Pianoteq 8.1.3, EQ3 "Vintage" with the 3 anchor points dragged about halfway up, reverb "concert hall", mix 20 dB, duration 3.07 s, pre-delay 0.000 s, room size 32 m, tone +0.20, fx gain -1.1 dB, additional equalizer "Uppermid" with 6-8 kHz enhanced by 3.5 dB for more clarity. That sounds quite good in my Sennheiser HD595 headphones. While some sampled VSTs have an even better sound, Pianoteq's strength lies in its unmatched reliable responsiveness. With the sampled VSTs (even with Garritan CFX and VILabs Modern D) there are always some notes randomly sticking out or sounding too soft within a performance.
