Well, no question about it. Too bad many people nowadays think the piano tone of this recording sounds a bit honky-tonky. They should realize that this is the typical tone of Steinway piano that you can hear in the actual concert halls, and it's not honky-tonky at all. Most piano recording nowadays are too close a miking that causes an unusually pump in the bass frequency. It doesn't sound very natural acoustically, but many audiophiles love that sound and used to it.
