Any Reviews of Yamaha Disklavier Music?

2009-03-01 by ezephyr5

I've purchased various Yamaha Piano Soft and Smart Piano Soft titles. I 
have found that the results vary in quality. Are there any reviews of 
these titles? Does anyone care to share what they like and what they 
don't.

For many of the Yamaha Smart Piano Soft titles, the piano overpowers 
the music, mainly because the playback of the CD seems too soft and its 
volume is weaker that it should be, even with the speakers and the 
audio turned all the way up.

Some Smart Piano soft titles do not have this problem, so perhaps this 
is becuase of the recording volume of the original CD.

Even for some of the Piano Solo titles, many of the performances come 
across as "too fancy", in my opinion. Sometimes I think the performer 
is trying to out-do the original artist --- and sometimes the results 
are just too ornate.

Depsite all of that, there are some that I have purchased that I do 
like considerably.
