Orchestra, MSU - East Lansing High School.
Deborah Moriarty, guest artist
First recording in this hall. Piano in this hall took me a little by surprise. I believe this is the same concert grand used in all the previous concerto concerts at the usual Great Hall venue, and when I heard it in this space, the sound just stood out more than usual. Very close…direct… and I got less ‘prettiness’ or ‘floatyness’ in the high end, as well as less resonance in the low end. Each pianist plays a little differently, and I have not heard solo work by Dr. Moriarty, so there is also room for that variable. The M150 was used, but not very much, and in a slightly different spot than normally placed for that piano.
