Title: Why play Hamburg Steinway in NY?
Product review: After I saw all these favorable reviews, I purchased this CD. Yes, the orchestra sounds good and the pianist is OK. One thing however I disliked about this CD was the sound of the piano. Before I listened it, I believed that she played on a NY Steinway because the orchestra was NY Philharmonic and it was recorded in NY, but I noticed a harsh treble range which is obvious in the 3rd movement of the concerto. I was a bit dissapointed. It of course depends on each instrument, but generally I feel the NY has richer and clearer treble and the Hamburg has rather glassy tone with more noticeable attacking noise. This one also sounds shallower. For Beethoven, I think NY tone matches better. Why not play NY Steinway in NY?
