Not so much to play the piano, but I always remember hearing that sound. I remember hearing that sound that my dad had, and that sound influenced all of us, in terms of thats what we expect from a pianist, first and foremost to have that type of sound. But from a production standpoint of view, the closeness and the warmth of the sound, under the piano, it had an impact on me. When I produce my recordings, irrespective of the size of the ensemble, I try to capture that intimacy and that warmth.
