Rather than criticizing the interpretation, I feel like criticizing the library, which I don't like; it doesn't leave many expressive possibilities. It seems a bit flat in terms of dynamics to me. Regarding the interpretation, I only feel like saying that I would enjoy hearing more passion. As the title says, this is a dream, a fantasy, and if the author felt the need to externalize an intimate feeling by dreaming it, perhaps a more passionate, intimate atmosphere would be needed. It seems to me that sometimes you are too much on the beat; regardless, a beautiful interpretation, improvable in some points but a beautiful interpretation. Compliments! Keep it up...

Thanks Simone, I will treasure your advice; regarding the library, I played using the default player without any reverb, could it depend on this or is there something else to work on?

Giovanni, to make libraries sound good there is a lot to do and it cannot be discussed on a forum. One needs to sit down in front of good listening [equipment] and reason about various things...

One thing is certain, I wouldn't use that library as a starting point. I feel it is very "cluttered"...

I do not allow myself to judge the performance, I leave that possibility to people more qualified than me; I will limit myself to saying that in my opinion the library has an excellent sound, which should be set better (certainly the pedal volume is too high and there are too many mid frequencies), but potentially I hear a very beautiful timbre and a body that I have rarely heard in other piano libraries. Moreover, I have seen some tutorials for this library and it seems to offer many possibilities for editing and sound customization.
Surely Simone is more expert than me on this subject, I will limit myself to saying that I do not agree with what he said, I like the sound very much.... in reality, it must also be said that the sampled piano is a Yamaha, and a jazz musician like me "feels" the Yamaha sound much more familiarly than a classical musician like Simone, who probably has the Steinway in mind....

I fell in love with the sound immediately, I have already said this in a previous post. I also think it is a setting problem.
I thought about using some audio tracks from the same song and posting some ready-made presets plus one set by me just to give an idea of the potential of this library.
Track 1 Classic preset Paul's Perfect Piano
Track 2 Classic preset Goldberg 1981
Track 3 contemporary preset Chickenwire
Track 4 contemporary preset Newman Beauty
track 5 player preset CutnRun
Track 6 player preset Lately
Track 7 contemporary preset Giovanni
