The most famous grand piano in history has come to life again! Introducing the Steinway piano played by Vladimir Horowitz.
This is the sound of the piano "Thor" developed from the most famous Steinway piano - perhaps the most famous grand piano - in history. This is the Steinway D numbered CD443, the piano that Vladimir Horowitz loved most. The CD443, Mr. Horowitz's last piano, was selected by the artist for his own personal home use. When he was first introduced to this instrument, Mr. Horowitz had reservations about the piano's action (which was rather heavy) but came to love the instrument so much that, when he briefly considered concertizing in 1989, he planned to take the CD443 with him. This piano was used for recording sessions made at his home in both 1988 and 1989.

The Piano Thor featured an amazing dynamic range which other pianos were hard pressed to compete with. It had more "bite" when it was played really hard but it produced a soft, singing tone when played softly. And Steinway's famous singing tone and bell like sympathetic resonances made it a truly great piano. This vast dynamic contrast and its lighting fast response won this superb instrument the name "Thor", the Norse god of storms and thunder.

"I've been using Supreme Piano for a few months now and am really impressed. The sound quality is great and the economic vst size doesn't take up the memory real estate of purely sample-based pianos. But what really impresses me is the versatility and programmability of the piano sounds. There are so many parameters, all clearly laid out on the GUI, to shape the sound as you want it. Intuitive, flexible and a dynamic sound. I rarely use my big sample-based pianos now."
Matt Bowdler (The Unfinished), UK Composer, producer and Pianist.
"It sounds awesome. It has a great dynamic range and very rich sound. Very responsive. The first time I played it I just couldn’t stand up from my controller keyboard. Very good synth presets usually have this effect on me. I just can’t stop playing. But a piano? Never before. Not ever."
Zhivko Koev, Pianist, Producer
"I have compared this to other piano instruments in my arsenal and this one will be my 'go to' piano. With great realistic sound, responsive feel, lots of editing features and small footprint" Ed Ten Eyck ,Composer, Producer
"I can't really fault how this plugin sounds. It's definitely the best sounding piano plugin I own, and sounds as nice as the nicest piano sample libraries, but with infinitely more flexibility." Will Morton, Pianist, Composer
"It sounded clear and realistic, with enough velocity levels for expressive playing and a richness in the sound that was authentic to my ears. Sympathetic resonance is amazing, it adds beautiful harmony to the sound, which makes the transition between notes smoother and “reminds” you this is a real instrument and it is “live”. Also while playing you can almost feel the weight of the keys, thus I am very easy to get a great feel about it. Probably a matter of personal taste, it even beaten all the modeling pianos I tried in the past, Pianoteq, Truepianos and etc. And I dare to compare it with my ivory pianos and it is hard for me to judge which one sounds better." Sean Philip, American Pianist
