Latin Classical Evangelism w/ Kristhyan Benitez
In this podcast episode, we are joined by the talented Kristhyan Benitez, a Venezuelan classical pianist and 2021 Latin Grammy winner for Best Classical Album. He discusses his musical journey that started at age four when he chose the piano over the guitar and fell in love with its sound.
Kristhyan has performed on prestigious stages worldwide and is recognized as a Steinway artist. His multicultural background influences his music, incorporating traditional Latin American elements into his classical repertoire.
He shares an enchanting performance of "Danza de los Ñáñigos" by Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona, reflecting the spirt of Carnival.
An intriguing part of our conversation revolves around his piano named 'Sinatra,' a historical Stanway from 1917 with a rich legacy previously played by icons like Frank Sinatra and Leonard Bernstein. Kristhyan recounts how he unexpectedly became its owner during the pandemic after it was bequeathed to him by Victor, a generous benefactor whose posthumous will was to grant his piano to a developing artist.
Beyond performing, Kristhyan emphasizes teaching and philanthropy as integral parts of his life. He believes in nurturing future generations through education and supports musicians in Venezuela amidst national challenges. For him, impacting lives through music is more fulfilling than seeking fame.
The freelance musician lifestyle post-pandemic comes with complexities requiring adaptability and continuous practice akin to athletic training. Collaboration across genres enriches artists' experiences according to Kristhyan who also introduces Benitez-a new project blending acoustic heritage with modern sounds and transcending genre restrictions.
Our host and guest share about their mutual philosophical connections to producer Rick Rubin. Rick is a renowned producer who guides artists towards their musical essence rather than chasing popularity or trends-an approach focused on authenticity over applause that often results in lasting popularity through oblique means.
As we wrap up this insightful session that delved into personal stories, creative philosophies, charity work, industry challenges-and even touched upon celestial connections-we invite listeners to explore Kristhyan's work online under Christian Benitez on streaming platforms and @kristhyan on Instagram for updates on his artistic endeavors until we meet again for another melodious exchange.
About Kristhyan Benitez:
Kristhyan is a classical music pianist who won the Latin Grammy 2021 for "Best Classical Music" album. He focuses not only on playing the more traditional classical canon, but also the music of his home country of Venezuela, including its classical music and its rich, vast and diverse tradition of folk and popular music, as a result of “MESTIZAJE” people (mixed race: Spanish, Indigenous and African). He has appeared at some of the world’s most prestigious stages such as Philarmonie Hall (Berlin), Davies Symphony Hall (San Francisco), and Lincoln Center (New York), with performances throughout Asia, Europe, South America and the United States.

I would like to give the PTRH some advice....maybe you'd already heard this before...I dunno....but, if your interviewed guests would, quite simply, plug a CAT5 wire into whatever computer they are using....I would hazard the guess, that, you would come up with more cogent interviews and less disconnects IMHO FWIW....sorry if my comment is redundant.... fyi a hard line is 8x faster than wifi
Hi Eathan !
Brilliant conversation
The website that exposes the use of autotune is Wings of Pegasus. He does an excellent expose of this insidious practice of putting autotune on EVERYTHING.
This is some of the most amazing advice I've ever heard, absolutely priceless, and it will change how I do business forever. Thank you so much for having Tim on the show. You guys are awesome!
What a pleasure to do this interview and to do a bit more of a deep dive with my peers on this wonderful craft of ours. What an honor it is being trusted caregivers of people's vehicles of artistic expression -- their beloved pianos. Thanks again for having me!
Another great episode! Keep them coming! By the way, we don't tune "orally" (i.e., by mouth). We tune "aurally" (i.e., by ear). Might want to correct that in the video description.
Skip the question guy I me my I me my I me my
Part 2? W/ the host listening, please.
Hi ! I'm a french piano technician. Is it ok if I share this video on my website ?
The surge is NOT "unprecedented. In October 2021 it was trading up there not far from the current level, before plunging to around 1/3 of that value with 12 months. It would not be unreasonable to expect a similar cycle to occur, it just question for the gamblers of 'when'.
I really enjoyed this conversation, especially towards the end. I am new to Piano Technology and listening to both of your thoughts in regards to tuning aurally vs. digital tuning was interesting. Glen's perspective on the industry shift in the piano tech space was also enlightening. I am noticing the same things in my industry as well.
Grande Chano! He crecido con tu música, y es mi inspiración tanto como pianista, como técnico de pianos.
Just watched this again, Except for a lot of awkward pauses where I stopped to 'gather' my thoughts, there is not a lot I would change.
Some topics are okay for audio-only. This isn't one of them.
Snuffelupaguss
Presentation is led by an arrogant ignoramus, obviously.
That was a waste of time
A long intro to allow the kids who can't get to class on time right ... :)
A lot of good information here. Especially pleased to hear about the importance of voicing and doing it regularly. I mostly work on uprights and i streight up refuse to tune a piano that has hammers in bad condition. Also the comment of using just one single needle was very interesting to me. I have always used more and some technicians even say its about the impact not about the number of needles. But i always felt the opposite way, that voicing a hammer by force, high impact strokes is problematic and dangerous. Thanks for sharing all of this.
hello Eric i'll be taking a look now. i'm glad you are doing well. yoshio
yeah, the video looks day 1....it should be set for speaker view, we don't need to see EVERYBODY in the meeting... Isaac has lots to offer and should be the main focus.. We can't even see what he's doing...
Where is the rest of this lecture? It cut off as soon as it got started after nine minutes!
How long is the full version of the video that's for sale on your website?
cool
How does one join the meetings?
Just found this Channel and subscribed. I am not a piano technician, but am always fascinated with pianos and the making of it (especially Steinway grands). I wanted to hear Clara's story on her Steinway B, but the session was up before she could finish... Two years ago today my son completed a long period of piano search, and finally bought his dream piano, also a used Model B.
46:25 Lol, when he said doo doo before going off about Teflon powder lines like cocaine!
Very very good class
Yes, I would also like to see the steps in achieving the desired balance weight on a particular key...
why is the video incomplete? it is very informative. please upload the whole video. thank you
Is there a part two?
Did the bookstore owners speak English?
So what’s his process?
Love Lieberman , Humble honest dude. Hope to get out to LA one day and meet you Carl.
Carl, you are a trooper. Hard worker. Get the job done guy.
I send to god a pray for him
