Re: Which Yamaha Disks Can you Recommend?

2002-01-15 by midi_magic2000

Hi Clare

What a difficult question to answer. One Man,s music is other Man's 
Noise.

I can only say from my own personal view, that most of Yamaha's 
Pianosoft disks are not worth the price, £30 here in the UK.
You can get them cheaper as some shops are selling the older stock 
off for as little as £9.99
The reason I say that, is because I like to relax with the piano and 
most of Yamaha's disk are what I would call Perfomance. In other 
words listen to me play this piano, good or bad.
I would recommend just one "A Night at the Croucho Club" by Harry 
Harris EMS PS 003.
I one I hate, is infact, a Beatles one. It is called "Beatles Once 
More" by Francois Glorieux  YPA-1005E  DO NOT BUY  Listen at your own 
risk.
I have a vast collection of Pianosoft disks, too many to comment on 
them all. The above are just the best and worst.

Happy listen

we're really enjoying the upright at the moment and so anticipate 
many hours tinkling away when our piano finally arrives!
