Such a singing tone and a depth in sound, wow!
I feel somewhat close to your Community as i own a Petrof IV, built in 1966 and fully restored in 2023. I am fully happy with my instrument and i am sure that i would be also utmost satisfied with your presented Bechstein.
Great performances by the way, thanks a lot!

I had not heard that Mozart piece before, but it was so mesmerizing. Beautifully played.

Dear Robert, thank you for the beautiful presentation of this splendid Bechstein from the brand's golden age. I myself have a 1907 Model C (225 cl) in Brussels, which I love for its transparency, rich timbre, light action and, above all, its natural, airy singing quality. A piano that literally flies! Could you tell us who restored it in Germany? Thank you very much for your reply, and good luck and bravo for your vlog!

I am playing a piano EXACTLY like this from I think 1912 once per week. It‘s owned by my piano teacher. I was looking for a nice Bechstein myself, though not the Model A (185 cm); I was looking for a B (203 cm) or preferably C (221 cm).

These old Bechsteins are really beautiful and their tone is very characteristic. I would have been able to tell you that this is an older Bechstein just from listening to it. I more or less accidentally stumbled over a 1908 Blüthner X (230 cm), so I can safely say: I am happy now and do not look for Bechsteins anymore. The Blüthner is different, but just as nice. An old Bechstein or Blüthner in great condition is always a great choice.

I find it interesting that you play Prelude No.1 in C Major not completely legato.

Thank you,

Michael

Oh wow … you could never put this up against a Modern Steinway, that would be so unfair!!! This delicate pure tone is in a totally different league (Sauter, Blüthner, Grotrian, August Förster, Steingraeber and Petrov come close). I love pianos with a lot of tonal soul and range so I can knead my fingers in butter and craft my interpretation through choreography and orchestration without having to present expressively too much. Pianos nowadays are built on projection of halls which will unfortunately enforce virtuosity, loud, fast and technical playing, so with an instrument with a different more focused sound you have to wean off the virtuosity and focus on the musical details and what sort of ideas the composer is looking for. My teacher owned a Bechstein model a from 2004-2016 and now has a Yamaha c3, I would always choose the tone of the Bechstein over a C3. It created a massive influence and impression on me as I was growing up studying on Steinway instruments a lot of the time!!!
