    Bösendorfer pianos sure are top quality, but this sounds more like a commercial. Hand built, all wood ..... Come on. Today robots are more precise than artisans, and composites outperform wooden action. The world of classical music is too concerned with brands and tradition. The same goes for artists and recording labels, sheet music and the lot.

    2:24 Very important point about the differences of these pianos to many others. The rim adds to the residence where is in many other pianos it is too solid probably to increase the volume or brightness of the piano. But in Bosendorfers you have more interest in the tone quality than many other pianos which are themselves constructed to project at the cost of tonal subtlety.

    Science and mathematics was not on the side of Boesendorfer all the time. In the 19th century Boesendorfer was slightly esoterical than scientific. The improvements were made by descriptions and wishes of the pianists while Steinway uses mathematics and science instead. Because of that Steinway was miles ahead. Very sad story.

    • @oliversusnea2415
      @oliversusnea2415 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bösendorfer is one of the oldest piano manufacturers in the world. Steinway also has a long tradition, starting to produce in 1853, in New York. The Bosendorfer Imperial is the top of line, with a length of 290cm and 97 keys (complete bottom octave). Bösendorfer pianos are real pieces of art as you can see in the video, but they have a big problem and that’s why you don’t really see them in concert halls. The problem is the volume. Bösendorfers have always been been considered as quiet pianos, so they may not be heard properly from every corner of the hall. The concert halls that do have a Bösendorfer almost always have another 2 Steinways. Steinway & Sons pianos have become somewhat of a standard for concert grands. This is not just because of the sound, it is also because of the popularity and support. Steinway being a well known company, it has a piano centre in almost every country and that makes things easier. In terms of production, Steinways are produced on a much larger scale in the two factories. To see the building process and much more, I strongly suggest you watch the documentary “The making of L1037”. Personally, I believe pianos are as different as people. They are all pianos, but each one has its own personality, its own timbre and tone. That’s what makes the game interesting. I played on a large number of instruments and I can say that each and every one of them was nothing like the one before. Even from Steinway to Steinway or from Bösendorfer to Bösendorfer. Each pianist has to find the right piano for them.

    So, I keep hearing superlatives for the Bösendorfer piano in this long advertisement, including, “the best piano in the world,” and I find this very strange because I almost never see one played in the major concert halls in the world by the very top pianists in the world! And these people and places have plenty of money to purchase the best pianos. Now....why IS that?? Vladimir Horowitz always shipped his Steinway piano to Europe, even to Russia(!), when he played concerts there. Glenn Gould, when he was recording and still concertizing in NYC always went to the Steinway & Sons studio there to choose the piano he liked best. Of course, he must have kept the piano at his lake cottage for sentimental reasons, lol! Vladimir Ashkenazy and Daniel Barenboim always played Steinways in concert, and Ashkenazy had two Steinway grands in his home studio. I could go on and on, but I’ve made my point! The narrator extols Bösendorfer pianos in such as way as to suggest saying it would make it so. I don’t doubt for one minute that these pianos are anything but excellent....I just don’t understand the need for gross over statements of fact.

    • @iam_mad
      @iam_mad ปีที่แล้ว

      Steinway has a very rigid policy, musicians have to sign contracts that binds them lifelong. Friedrich Gulda had a long going court - lawsuit with Steinway, because they wanted to forbid him, to play a Bösendorfer in public... There is a reason, why they are the mass-product.

    • @replacesoundboard
      @replacesoundboard ปีที่แล้ว

      There is a section on Wikipedia titled "Steinway Artists" on the page of Steinway & Sons. It talks about how there is a monopoly going on. The reason you mostly see Steinway pianos is the same reason you mostly see Windows computers. They managed to set themselves in, so the general public believe it's the goto choice, even though it isn't. Also: "In 1972, Steinway responded to Garrick Ohlsson's statement that Bösendorfer was "the Rolls-Royce of pianos" by trucking away the Steinway-owned grand piano that Ohlsson was about to give a recital on at Alice Tully Hall in New York City. Ohlsson ended up performing on a Bösendorfer piano borrowed at the eleventh hour, and Steinway would not let him borrow Steinway-owned pianos for some time. Ohlsson has since made peace with Steinway."

      The older Steinways are. Cant say to much about the newer ones. My aunt owns a older Steinway concert grand and has played almost every brand. I looked into the construction of the instrument. Yamaha pianos are not built so well. Cheap pinblocks, and multipart soundboards and low quality harps. They spend a lot of money on the finish, not the sound
