Difficult to judge as the acoustics of this auditorium is washing out the nuances of these fine instruments
Yamaha is much better. More clean. Sounds better. Of course.
Thank you Tsukushi for uploading this video - what a cute sparrow! Opus 110 is one of my favourite sonatas - it takes the listener on such an incredible journey from serenity to despair to an explosion of joy. Look forward to seeing your progress with this piece and any tips and suggestions you have in learning it.
Love your piano Was led to your site by my friend Joanna I see her comment here ❤ Best wishes Masa

Is this at the RNCM? Did mine there many years ago! If it is I guess the Steinway is older - would be curious to know the respective ages of the pianos. They bought 2 new D's in the ealry 2000's but didn't have a CFX.
@MichaeljpburkeUkMusic Yes, I’m studying at the RNCM too! It’s great to see an alumni here. Unfortunately I haven’t figured out how old they are but it was a good opportunity to compare two pianos from different makers.
Very well done, and a wonderful piece to listen to.

I think the Steinway is a bit "drastic" for presenting the Prokofiev. I just feel that the tone Prokofiev was looking for is better with the Yamaha. With an orchestra and audience on the Beethoven, then Steinway. However, the Yamaha will still be plenty.

The Steinway is simply sublime.
Ah, what a great energy between you and your mother! Passion, tenderness, a powerful joy, great playing - everything blends perfectly! 😍 Thank you both for sharing this wonderful moment with us!
What I really, really love about your channel and your choice of music is that you don't just go down well-trodden paths, but take us on a musical journey of discovery and broaden our horizons! What a great piece and what a great interpretation! 😍
Here’s the performance of Edith Piaf’s Hymn to Love in the version of 4 hands with my mum! We used to do duet before but it has been ages since we stopped doing that. I truly enjoyed playing the piano with her, this has become one of the best memories of this summer !!

I am a Steinway fan boy, whenever I hear comparisons, it is Steinway Yamaha makes a great piano as well as electric pianos. Someone mentioned Fazioli which are great pianos but have to much resonance from other strings so does not sound as sharp, almost rumbles for me on the low end, just my opinion, notes are not separated and sharp. Your playing was brilliant, brava
Wow¡
Now try a Fazioli f308.
Steinway Model D. Hands down.

Of course is Steinway D!

Which one is more stable in tuning? Also, which one is easier to maintain?
Great playing! I definitely think your playing has more color and dynamic presence in your finger voicing to present with that Steinway, but whatever you choose, your performance will be excellent because you are PREPARED. Nothing matters but what you leave on the stage and in the hall for an actual audience. Good work and keep on going!
Steinway Bass - Yow!
Yamaha sounds like it has had loads of redbull😂
Wonderful❤❤❤

The bass is beautiful on the steinway.
how? steinway bass is always a muffled sound no vibration like yamaha or bosendorfer. steinways sound awesome but not in their bass their bass sounds like they have a pillow over it .

Steinway of course, you can hear so much more detail.
Nice 🔥
Discovering Medtner was life changing for me, especially his sonatas. Prok 6 is one of my favorite sonatas, so cool and beautiful at times, you chose amazing pieces!
弾く人によって、随分違う音色になる曲なのですね。
Great performance, Dr Tsukushi! 😊Counterpoint greetings from the steps of Parnassus! 😄

For me, the mic-ing of the pianos seems stationary and thus the Yamaha sounds louder and brighter and I think the voicing of the Yamaha needs a bit of work to make this a more fair comparison. Then there is the placement of the two instruments. This placement I find problematic and does not lend itself to fairly comparing the sound of each piano. That is the trouble with these types of comparison videos. Each instrument is a fine example of the craftsmanship of there makers. When listening I turn down the volume when the Yamaha is played and the difference between the two sounds becomes barley distinguishable.
I'm not sure as you placed the Yamaha in front of the Steinway so the Yamaha projects somewhat more. They're both fine pianos. So, whichever you choose is fine and may just depend on action, responsiveness, tone control, pedal feel, etc.
How can the sound be compared if the audio if of so low quality?
Where are your videos so you can “show her how it’s done” ??
My thoughts exactly! The microphone is too far, the room reverb too great, to get an accurate representation of either piano.
It's great that you give some insights about the making of the last programme, about your discoveries (btw, that so many female composers are so unknown is really something that should change, not just about Russian female composers. Clara Schumann or Fanny Hensel (Mendelssohn), the sister of Felix Mendelssohn, are some of the few 19th century female composers I can think of at the moment.. And I'm sure there are so many musical treasures to discover! It's similar in the history of painting). And I'm so excited to see what the new programme will be like in the end. Prokofiev sonata no 6 and Beethoven sonata no 31 sounds like a great match! After the excerpt from Prokofiev 6, I am super excited about everything that is yet to come!!! 😍
Thank you Tsukushi for giving us an update - it is really interesting to hear you talk personally about your musical journey! You clearly have a keen affinity with Prokofiev and look forward to hearing your progress with his 6 Sonata. The Ravel and Beethoven pieces are very beautiful so I'm sure you will enjoy learning those. Do you get much opportunity at RNCM for learning chamber music as well as concertos?
@vivatmusica Thank you for the comment! Of course we have chamber music as part of modules! I worked with many other instrumentalists such as violinists and enjoyed it a lot :)
since i'm looking when the pianist switch from CFX to Steinway, the Steinway has more refine sound and more magnificent...i'm not a pianist and using only a digital piano using VSL plugins with Bosendorfer and Steinway....but if blindfolded it'll be hard to distinguish but the sounds are separable
Steinway timbre is the richest one. So there's a lot of different ways to play the same passage. You can change colors. It also has the smoothest attack, the greatest ressonance (that's why it can blurs easily if wrongly played) and power without stridency. All other piano brands lack at least one of these features (with the exception of Mason&Hamelin, maybe)
@@LuisKolodinwhat do you think of Mason & Hamlin especially the new VX lines?
@@hastensavoir7782 they are extremely rare to find here in Brazil. I really have no idea. Very few times I could touch one of them. I know there's criticism about the carbon fiber action. It feels insanely good to play, but my piano technician claims it removes nuances, the reason why Shigeru Kawai quit using it.
@@LuisKolodin did Shigeru Kawai convert to Wood for their actions?? Do you have experience with Fazioli?
@@hastensavoir7782 yes, Shigeru got back to wood. At least half of the action. Yes, I have experience with Fazioli. Why?
Hi 😊 Oh, never heard it before, but it has such great lyrical character! Lovely! And you play it with such a round, full and warm tone! My first thought was: maybe Brahms? But I'm really bad at guessing. Can you tell me which piece it is? 😊
@thenameremainsthesame8339 it’s a piece called ‘Do Not Speak’ by Glinka-Balakirev! I randomly found this when I was exploring Russian piano pieces for my assessment. I don’t know about the origin of this well so I have to look at!
@@Tsukushipiano Thanks for your reply! 😊 Until now, I only knew that Balakirev transcribed “The Lark”. If I remember it correctly, “The Lark” was originally written by Glinka for piano and voice. Maybe this one too? That would explain why it sounds so lyrical with such a lovely singing quality. Ah, to visit your channel is really always a win!! Thank you so much! 😊 Michael
Literally from the first note of Shostakovich you had me won over! And your Medtner! Ah those Medtner Fairy Tales - impossible not to fall in love with your Medtner. And the Prokofiev Sonata at the end! A great program! A great recital! 😍
@thenameremainsthesame8339 thank you for the lovely comments!! I’m so happy that you enjoyed all Russian music programme😊
imho both were really good. If I had either I would be happy. If it was my money I would simply buy the cheaper of the two
