Description
Authorized by Blüthner, this is the world's first physical model of Blüthner's finest grand piano, celebrated on the concert stage for its expressive warmth and tonal elegance. "There are only two things which I took with me on my way to America... My wife and my precious Blüthner," Rachmaninoff once said. Blüthner pianos were also favored by Brahms, Tchaikovsky, and Rubinstein, among others, and their sound has graced iconic recordings such as The Beatles’ Let It Be.
The round, warm tonal character of the Blüthner Model 1 is faithfully rendered by Pianoteq's physical model, now enhanced with Pianoteq 9’s new audio engine. The improved soundboard vibration creates a rich, evolving swirl for each note, enhancing stereo and spatial perception, and giving the piano more body, depth, and soul. The instrument can express everything from tender pianissimos to thunderous fortissimos, seamlessly matching orchestral power or intimate solo moments. All grand pianos in Pianoteq 9, including the Blüthner Model 1, have been meticulously revoiced to deliver a world-class concert experience.
A unique feature of Blüthner grand pianos is the fourth string in each treble key, known as the Aliquot system, which creates a sympathetic vibration to enrich the tone. Pianoteq includes this feature, and in the Standard and Pro versions, it can be adjusted to control the effect. Additionally, Binaural presets have been refreshed for an immersive headphones experience, while expressive "Sombre" presets allow for highly dynamic, silken tones ideal for emotive and cinematic playing.
