Zenph Re-Performance

[Pitt]

Was es nicht alles gibt...

Wiedergabe der 1955 eingespielten Goldberg-Variationen durch
einen computergesteuerten modernen Konzertflügel.
Dank einer komplexen Software ist es dem amerikanischen
Zenph Studio gelungen, jede Nuance in Anschlag, Artikulation
und Pedalgebrauch zu entschlüsseln und mit Hilfe modernster
Technik auf einem heutigen Konzertflügel wiederzugeben.

Gleiches Spiel mit Rachmaninoff und Art Tatum:



EDIT: Kommentar von Amazon

As a software engineer at Zenph Studios, I am especially proud of the work our production team did on this album. Rachmaninoff's compositions are well known, but this album brings to light his amazing artistry as a pianist. Listen, for example, to this performance of his famous C-sharp minor prelude; he plays it with much more subtlety than most modern interpretations, using dynamic contrast to establish a captivating dialog between one voice tolling the opening three-note motif and other distinctly-softer voices answering it.

The other pieces on the album are also pianistic treats. Rachmaninoff's transcriptions of "Flight of the Bumblebee" and "Scherzo from a Midsummer Night's Dream" showcase his dexterity, and are great fun to hear. The intricacy of voicing and rubato in Rachmaninoff's performances of his original works is astounding, and each track is packed full of little musical surprises.

This album was re-performed on a 1909 Steinway model D on which Rachmaninoff may have very well played. Thanks to recording engineer Richard King and everyone involved in the preparation of the piano, the sound of that wonderful instrument comes through beautifully in this album. This disc presents each piece from two perspectives: an exceptional stereo version places you near the front of the audience while Rachmaninoff plays, and an intimate binaural stereo version seats you on the bench next to him. The binaural version was recorded using a special dummy head with a microphone in each ear, carefully positioned so that when the tracks are played back through headphones, each note comes from its correct place in space (lower notes toward the left, higher notes toward the right). This may be one of the best sounding piano albums ever made.

Hier noch ein Vergleich zwischen einer originalen und neuen Aufnahme von Cortot:

Alfred Cortot's original mono 78 rpm recording for HMV in 1926, playing Chopin's prelude #3 in G major

Zenph® Studios’ re-performance® of Alfred Cortot playing Chopin's prelude #3 in G major.

Mir war gerade etwas langweilig...

Hier Gould in alter und neuer Form:

Ich finds toll.

Ob es Gould auch toll finden würde, wissen wir nicht.
Der reale Klang hängt ja extrem vom jeweiligen Instrument und von der Raumakustik ab. Das Tempo hängt wiederum von diesen ab.

Interessanterweise finde ich die Mono-Aufnahme zu schnell, die recht hallige Stereo-Aufnahme klingt nicht übertrieben schnell.


Irgendwie hat die Technik aber auch was von dem hier:
