  • In this video pianist Ivan Ilić is putting the Shigeru Kawai concert grand piano to its test by playing an excerpt of Claude Debussys Prelude "The Sunken Cathedral". How does the piano react to this beautiful composition that uses the full range of registers?
    Recorded at Laeiszhalle Hamburg on 16. October 2018. Piano: Shigeru Kawai SK-EX. Director of Photography, Editing: Martin Teschner Balance Engineer: Torsten Otto
    This film is a co-production of Kawai im Pianohaus Huster, Kawai Europa GmbH, and No-Te Productions. #KAWAI #ShigeruKawai #welovepianists #IvanIlic

    Never heard those bass notes sounding this clean before. Quite astonishing how full those lowest notes are sounding on this piano.

    WOW...
    I am a Debussy fan, and I am truly amazed.
    A wonderful performance of a mesmerizing instrument, played by a great pianist.
    I want to listen more... encore!
    I hadn't imagined at all that Kawai was producing such surprisingly beautiful pianos.

    If I were rich, I'd totally have one of these. For now, I'll settle with my MP11SE with the modelled sounds

      ​@@ivanfrangugic8355 Ok so you will be 35 in 15 years. 100$ every month for 15 years adds up to 18,000$. This piano is worth 400,000$. I think you're a bit far off. You'd need to save for 333 years to buy this piano if you continue saving 100$ every month. It's 33 years if you save 1000$ every month. If you want to buy it in three years, you'd have to save 10,000$ per month.
      So yes, you DO NEED to be rich to buy it.
      You could get an entry level grand piano in 15 years tho.

    This cannot compare to Fazioli and Bosendorfer Imperial. But it is a very fine piano.

      This is better than Bosendorfer if you want to tell some warm story through piano. In terms of Kawai and Fazioli, they are extremely similar, even Kawai fan that I admit Fazioli sounds like Kawai and Kawai sounds like Fazioli. These two perfected in some way, the warm sound of way. For me Bosendorfer sounds like dark and a hint of neutral kind of way, it didn't surprise me that Yamaha purchased Bosendorfer (Yamaha king of neutral sounds and no souls).
