Outstanding. The razor sharp view of the sheet music is so nice to see and follow during playback. Will definitely be sharing this channel with my fellow piano/keyboard geek friends. P.S. Recently heard this piece played on a large, multi-manual harpsichord and it was awesome. Highly recommend it. 🎹
