Pianoacoustici

about

We are a group of 4 pianists and we are playing in the Netherlands. It is our passion to make our own classical music to play on pianos. So no modern and no Einaudi. But music that sounds like the old composers, like bach or like vivaldi.

Currently we are working on the album pianoacoustici. Tracks will be uploaded soon.

In our album we would also like to play on different pianos. Every piano sounds different, brands like yamaha could sound clear but lack soul in our opinion. More beautiful brands like Steinway & Sons can bring on a feeling that sings more deeply. It's in our interest to try many more brands that fit the piano pieces. We have played a few times in the big pianoshop of Emile van Leenen Pianos, emilevanleenenpianos.nl where we could try many pianos and grandpianos.

We have been inspired in making our own classical music from when we went together to big classical concerts mostly in the royal concertgebouw: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concertgebouw

We are still debating if we would like to record the tracks on upright or on grand piano's but we will probably be selecting on what fits each track best. Although everything will be on acoustic piano's not on digital ones.

Each track will be inspired on a classical composer. Composers that we are currently working on now are Bach, Vivaldi, Mendelsohn, Mozart, Beethoven and Debussy.

We wondered if a second hand piano could fit some baroque music better. We find this only the case when the piano is a lot older. At least older than 1940. It is hard to describe the difference in sound, but hope you could hear it on our upcoming songs.
