Playback Suggestions
The Well-Tuned Piano covers an exceptionally wide dynamic range; some sections are extremely loud and other sections are extremely soft. In order for the soft sections to be loud enough to hear the inner resonances of the piano, ii is appropriate to set your volume control so that the loudest sections actually fill the listening space with sound and are as loud as you can comfortably enjoy them. The first few times that you listen to the work, you will find an optimum setting for your volume control which you may eventually want to mark in order to avoid adjusting the volume control as you listen.

A singular, harrowing experience. If this album doesn't give you a newfound appreciation of life, specifically the ability to remember it, then I don't know what will.

Absolutely love this recording. I listen to it at work. I listen to it in the car on the way home from work. I listen to it while falling asleep. Curtis’ cello is so amazing. Just got the vinyl in the mail from Discogs the other day! Can’t wait to play on my hi-fi system!
