Re: [disklavier] Goldberg Variations for Disklavier

2015-04-17 by Mark Fontana

In 2014, Steinway acquired Zenph's music and software assets along with 
the Live Performance LX design.  They have released the re-performances 
(including the Glenn Gould Goldberg Variations album) as part of the 
music library for their recently-launched rebranding of the LX called 
"Spirio", which they are offering factory-installed in a few models of 
Steinway pianos.   It's unlikely that Steinway will officially release 
the Zenph albums for other systems, but I've heard that MIDI files from 
the Zenph era are circulating around.  It's unclear whether Steinway 
will try to continue Zenph's work of creating re-performances.

The Live Performance Disklavier diskettes (including the Rachmaninoff 
Ampico roll conversions) are still available for purchase through the 
Mechanical Music Digest's online store:
