Ivory II American Concert D is powered by the award-winning Ivory II engine, and contains the full compliment of Ivory II’s features, foremost being our acclaimed Harmonic Resonance Modeling for the realization of true Sympathetic String Resonance. Also included are up to 20 velocity levels, with more soft pedal samples, and more release samples to capture more detail than any Ivory instrument before. This American Steinway possesses a naturally long sustain, which is captured in its entirety to the final decay, some of the notes ringing longer than two minutes. With a 49GB library, Ivory II American Concert D is the largest single piano in the Ivory family. Reunited were master concert technician Michel Pedneau, performer/producer Joe Ierardi, and recording engineer, Mark Donahue of Soundmirror to capture every detail of this amazing instrument. The recording took place in the Françoys-Bernier Concert Hall at Le Domaine Forget in the Charlevoix region of Quebec, the same hall where Ivory's acclaimed German Steinway was recorded. The instrument has an exceptionally clear and transparent sound, yet with a singing tone and mature beauty and resonance that can only be found on a concert instrument in this class. Put your hands on it, and it’s not hard to see why. Indeed, the plate of the piano is signed by Glenn Gould, Rudolf Serkin, and many others, as a testament to high praise by the world’s great masters. Throughout the years, the instrument has been lauded by some of the world’s greatest concert artists. This vintage 1951 New York Steinway D (CD 121) was chosen by the Steinway & Sons concert department for Steinway artist promotion. Ivory II American Concert D is one of those instruments. It holds a dear place in my heart because it was out of fascination for the piece that I became curious and interested in visual arts.In the rarified world of great concert artists, there are precious few instruments that leave a lasting impression upon the masters who played them.

I didn’t create a new piece but my drawing “wax woman” embodied the theme “Roots” because there was something unfiltered and bare about the piece and the motivation that inspired it. Yes, I had a piece in mind when I learned about Epoch’s theme.
