Re: [disklavier] Goldberg Variations for Disklavier

2015-04-17 by Skanter123

If anyone else has MIDI files of Zenph-era recordings, I'd like to know as well.

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.
