Ballade No. 1 Op. 23 in G minor (F. Chopin)

Performed by Hugh Sung

Pianoteq 3: C3/solorec

The clarity and precision of this virtuoso work is here particularly suitable for demonstrating the improved brilliance of the new piano model. The 4 microphones configured in this solo recording preset enhances the powerful fortissimos.

Clair de Lune (C. Debussy)

Performed by Hugh Sung

Pianoteq 3: C3/close

This dreamy impressionistic work with its triads requires intimacy and gentle softness (enhanced by ample use of the una corda pedal) combined with brilliance and clarity, here realized through the C3/close preset where the strings have a closer perspective to the listener.

Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C#m (F. Liszt)

Performed by Mario Kruselj

Pianoteq 3: C3/solorec

This rather demanding work relies on dynamic expression where the fingers are put into heavy strain by many fast trills. The resulting beautiful string resonances make this particular work a joyful listening experience which Pianoteq delivers with virtue and emotion through its powerful and dynamic string model.

Piano Concerto in A minor Op. 16 No. 1 (E. Grieg)

Performed by Joshua Seth

Pianoteq 3: C3/solorec

The C3/solo recording preset, with its rich dynamics, brings out all the colours in this passionate piano concerto movement - from the pianissimos to the thunderous final chords.

Un sospiro (F. Liszt)

Performed by Joseph Felice

Pianoteq 3: C3/modified

The original piano setting, created by the pianist, suits this beautiful performance particularly well. In the virtual world it is possible to accentuate the contrast, from the softest pianissimo to the strongest fortissimo.

Some Bluesy Thing (R. Friedman)

Performed by Roger Friedman

Pianoteq 3: C3/solorec

Here we demonstrate the natural presence of Pianoteq in a mix. The C3/solorec preset brings the solid and powerful sound expected from an acoustic grand piano without dominating the other accompanying instruments.

Improvisation No. 2 (M. Black)

Performed by Miles Black

Pianoteq 3: M3/close

Here is a good example of how the very clear and percussive M3/close preset can work particularly well with a rag influenced work where a close acoustic presence is preferred.

Forbidden (B. Billionaire)

Performed by Butterfli

Pianoteq 3: C3

Pianoteq is here showing its diversity by being successfully used as an accompanying grand piano instrument in a slow R'n'B tune.

Aquarel (P. De Ridder)

Performed by Piet De Ridder

Pianoteq 3: C3/solorec

In this dreamy intimate solo work, we demonstrate how a slightly modified C3/solorec preset manages to amplify a close acoustic intimacy that goes hand in hand with the music.

Cambric Clouds (Chris Gibbs)

Performed by Chris Gibbs

Pianoteq 3: C3ls/player

In this dreamy and poetic piece, the slightly adjusted C3ls instrument delivers all the dynamics, resonances and tone colours that normally only can be provided by acoustic grand pianos
