Warm, mellow... I guess that's a... C. Bechstein? Or maybe a Hamburg Steinway & Son's? The reverb of that huge room makes it sound better too. Heck, it could be a Bösendorfer too.
You are at a new phase in interpreting music. Your next phase is to keep your l. h. much softer. In the Arabesque it's too present all the time, especially in cresc. allow the r. h. to do it alone.The l. h. overpowers the right for most of the Arabesque.That's my opinion. Seymour
I'm very surprised to read your remark about Mr. Russo's l.h. not being soft enough. My first impression hearing this performance was actually how smooth and legato Russo's l.h. is, not to mention his singing r.h. tone (also because of his l.h.)
There is utter magic in Sandro's caress of the keyboard. 💕
SO wondrously lovely, thank you Sandro!!!
Utter magic, yes!!! As always, dear Sandro, you've taken my breath away. (even though you're playing "my" piece!! 😊💕)
Delicious!
A truly beautiful and sensitive reading; thank you, Sandro!
Bravo!! Come Sempre!
Auguri Amico!
Stupendo!!!!!!
Beautiful

Thank you! The piano is an old Steinway D actually, though restored in different times.
