Pop tunes that feature piano make up our Power Piano Pop playlist this month. Though not often the instrument of choice for pop stars, the piano is indeed the signature instrument for a notable few. But it is also an unmistakable texture in some classic pop tunes and recent hits highlighted here.

Summertime Jazz is a new section on Spirio that features some of our favorite playlists for the season, including Summer Swing, Jazz Brunch, Jazz in the Background, Mellow Jazz and Latin Jazz as well as new playlists like Steinway After Dark.

And we are pleased to expand the Chopin catalog on Spirio this month with the complete Scherzos performed by Antonio Pompa-Baldi. Though usually featured as a lively, dance-like movement within a larger work, the Scherzos of Chopin are stand-alone pieces, full of energy, and highly virtuosic. 

Our SpirioSync video this month features Drew Petersen performing Liszt’s setting of “Der Lindenbaum,” a song from Schubert’s epic “Winterreise.”

The new Steinway & Sons Spirio is the world’s finest high resolution player piano. A masterpiece of artistry and engineering in your home, Spirio enables you to enjoy performances captured by great pianists — played with such nuance, power and passion that they are utterly indistinguishable from live performance.
