Hi again.  As promised another cut from this years festival  This time a 
Mozart's C minor piano concerto with The Norwegian Chamber Music 
Orchestra with pianist Leif Ove Andsnes directing and at the piano. This 
was the first concert using the piano at the Grieghallen concert hall. 
(same piano as in the previous post) Eric had had several days to 
prepare the instrument and did the tuning for this concert, so the 
instrument is all his at this point.  At spots... you can really hear 
the limitations of 11 year old hammers that have been voiced and 
revoiced... and the limitations of an 11 year old instrument itself.  
Concert work at this level is like a-whole-nother ball park... tho that 
may not seem obvious until one works with these kind of requirements 
from pianists for some years. The difference between a very new 
instrument in the prime of its bloom, and an aging one becomes more and 
more apparent. It's one of those things I love about working on 
pianos... you always always have all this stuff to learn. Stuff we often 
enough just assume isn't there. Learning never ends :)  In anycase... 
please enjoy.

Next up a 25 year old D with original hammers... beat to bits voiced and 
prepped by myself, tuned by Eric and used primarily as an accompaniment 
instrument in a large Gala concert at the Grieghallen.

Cheers
RicB
