A fan since your performance here in Birmingham, Alabama, waaaaaay back when you were just a young man! Your moving performance imprinted me. Thank you fo sharing your amazing talent with the world. You bring great joy!
Great video and recording. Houghs performance is very improvisatory which surprised me. Absolutely fantastic sound. Could I ask what microphones were used? I am about to record this nocturne but it will be a digital recording. I’m looking for a mic set up for my Steinway.
We use a variety of microphones at Tippet Rise and a lot as we record in Auro3D format. So the main array is 9 microphones by itself. For this concert the front 3 main mics are Schoeps MK2H capsules with CMC6 amplifers. The surrounds at DPA4041a microphones. Heights are DPA4006a with 50mmAPE on them. We then put a pair of DPA4006a in a sort of ORTF setup close to the piano which you can see on camera. And if you look closely there is a pair of DPA4060a microphone in the piano as well. For a stereo mix I generally do not use all of the microphones. Mainly just the mains and sometimes some of the front heights and spot microphones for texture/detail. Everything is recorded in DXD384 using Merging Technology converters and Grace Design m108 microphone preamps.
I get sick to death of hearing from this pianist: his over exposure means that so many better pianists are rarely if ever heard! And what the hell has he got on his feet???!
BEAUTIFUL.¨!!!!!!!
Wow. I thought I had already listened to the best version of this piece before watching this video. Happy to find out that I was wrong.
I love Chopin's nocturnes but they've never made tears roll down my face. At least until I listened to this recording...
if you want tears then id recommend listening to moravec play them

Mr. Hough, would you consider playing the version of this nocturne with Chopin's original variants?
@@alecaval4599 It can be heard here with all variations in the Wiener Urtext, though not by Stephen Hough. ua-cam.com/video/KV5bBmhSOEc/v-deo.html

I love this man, as an artist and as a human being; but he just doesn’t Chopin justice. Too loud, too clear and too not Chopin.
