Since 1853, when Blüthner pianos was founded in Leipzig by Julius Blüthner, the Blüthner name has had an enviable reputation for over 140 years and in the opinion of many world famous artists and musical connoisseurs has reached the pinnacle of perfection. The Royal Courts of many European countries adorned their palaces with instruments as a matter of neccesity, among them included German Kaiser, Queen Victoria, the Russian Tsar, the Danish King, the Turkish Sultan and of course the King of Saxony.
The Blüthner German piano is appreciated particularly for its warm,
rich tone and superior craftsmanship, which has been confirmed time and
again by professional and international opinion.
Its reputation is built upon a long tradition of careful manufacturing and particular attention to soundboard design.
It is the powerful sound with a rich dynamics and a warm singing tone
that orchestras favour for the interpretation of a composition. In
changing tone colours, chamber musicians compare the tone to the mellow
sound of a violin & cello. Singers prefer the Blüthner as an ideal
partner for the human voice. Pianists and composers call it the Lyric
among the pianos. Many of the 150,000 Blüthners are played by well
known musicians who have unanimously praised them and certainly agree
with what Wilhelm Furtwängler wrote:
"Blüthner instruments can really sing. This is probably the greatest compliment that can be paid to an instrument." |
