The talented Hailey Johnson singing Johannes Brahms at Salle Pianos and Events. Her marvelous performance was filmed by Tibor Szabo who acquired the 1848 Pleyel piano providing accompaniment. As the pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet described this piano:
“There is no limit to how loudly you can play the modern Steinway but there is no limit to how softly you can play this Pleyel.”The work of Pleyel of Paris is a direct link to understanding and experiencing the correct interpretation of Frédéric Chopin. Chopin, known as the poet of the piano, forbid fortissimos. Indeed, when one strikes this piano with force it "shuts down" and its velvety voice becomes pained and ugly. Jean-Yves played at Salle Pianos for a fundraiser; he is a great dresser and pianist who personifies the ideal of the 21st century classical musician – style, stories, love of french food and, of course, great music.
