Here are several recordings, completed unedited, from early this summer in my studio. For information on the levels, please refer to Jane McGrath’s “The Pianist’s Guide to Standard Teaching and Performance Literature.” The piano is a Steinway & Sons Model 45, 1960. To record, I am using a Logitech Snowball microphone, processed through Zoom using the Original Sound setting. The lighting is unfiltered.
