Sauter Concert 275 in Horowitz` Living Room

Spaichingen/New York – What the Fifth Avenue means for fashion- and artfreaks is the 57th Street in New York for the fans of music: a place of tradition for special meetings, because in the 57th Street is the Carnegie Hall, probably the most famous concert hall in the New World. Even Vladimir Horowitz was celebrating there legendary triumphs, some of which have been recorded in the television.

For his recital in the fully booked chamber-music-saloon of the Carnegy Hall the australian pianist Gil Sullivan had selcted the new pianoforte „Concert 275“ of the swabian pianofortemanufacturer Sauter, which contains some special technical innovations. In the area of the discant are all peaces, which are touched by metall, made in titan instead of steal, as titan is better in sound conduction.

Additionally is the discant-duplex oth the Sauter Concert 275 as the only pianoforte in the world adjustable, which allows to waive the usual interlace of felt to absorb  impure tones. Both measures, exclusive, selected materials and excellent finishing lead to an exceptionel  transparent and nuancable sound, which becomes more and more appreciated in the world. The pianofortemanufacturer Sauter has more than doubled its production to satisfy the demand for this hand-made instrument. Stefan Schnitzer, Director of  Development and Manufacturing at Sauter: Of course are we very proud of this success o the market, but the increase in capacity is done under strict control to ensure the quality-standard „Handmade in Germany“ is met.

Gil Sullivan, who took lessons with Murray Perahia and Paul Badura-Skoda, had prepared himself for a very challanging program, which started with Mozart`s variations about „Unser dummer Pöbel meint“ and culminated in Beethovens piano-sonata c-Moll op. 111. Out of his classical-romantical repertoire the australian pianist was interprating the polonaises A-Dur and fis-Moll from Chopin and the sixth hungrian rhapsody from Liszt. Great attention aroused the US-premiere of a Mazurka composed by Julian Cochran. The young composer was flying-in from Australia to attend the concert.
Already after the sonata from Beethoven the audiance was enchanted and thanked with standing ovations. The „275“ left an self-contained impression. At one side he was powerfull and with rich timbre in the bass, on the other side his discant was fascinating, especially in the pianissimoplaying of the composition „Brownhill Creek in Spring“ from Miriam Hyde. The fine but stable sound arrived without difficulty the last rows of the standing room of the fully occupied hall. On the strong demand of the audiance Sullivan offered two bonuses, before he with ostentation the cover closed, which – mechanically lessend – smoothly lowered itself.
