Customer Comments

The following are a selection of genuine comments that customers have made after ordering tracks from my website, usually by email correspondance. It's always lovely to hear nice responses from my customers, and I'm pleased many people seem to like the tracks I have recorded.


"In more than one way, the accompaniments of piano-accompaniments.com stand out. They are really musical, elegantly and inspiredly played, technically impeccable, The faster and more difficult movements are presented in a slower version as well, but this slower version is not a childish halving of the tempo but an interpretation that can serve any occasion where the player wants to shine without being a virtuoso. The pianist really has the soloist in mind, as In leaving out in the accompaniment what should otherwise oblige the soloist to waiting long, such as dozens of bars of introduction in a concerto. Particularly nice is that the website contains not just popular pieces but also music for which it would be difficult to find a pianist who is accomplished enough, such as for me the Hindemith and Saint-Saëns clarinet sonatas."
(DB, Netherlands)

"I am finding your accompaniments super useful! I will buy more of them for sure - what a great tool to have my music ready to go (and learn some new pieces as well)! Your playing is beautiful."
(KS, USA)

"thankyou - all works fine - just played along to your beautiful accompaniment to the Swan about 10 times - it's for a friends wedding and there is no piano so you have saved the day!"
(RJ, UK)

"All the accompaniments I have ordered are simply amazing! I am so thrilled you put them on an mp3 format which allowed for very easy downloading. In addition to that, all the accompaniments are now loaded from the computer into the Samsung Tab A. This allows for very easy playing on my part as well as that of my students. The Tab A has a feature that slows down the accompaniments to much slower tempi (if needed) without sacrificing the quality of the piano sound. You will notice by my orders that I have the standard repertoire at the moment. Thanks for such a tremendous service to the music community."
(WZ, Canada)

"I am so thrilled to find the piano accomplishment with real piano instead of midi for this exact piece in this exact version I want. Thank you for making this."
(TS, USA)

"thank you very very much. You are amazing. Have a wonderful day and thank you again, for the accompaniment and for solving this problem."
(AD, Czechia)

"Thanks so much for providing the files I’d ordered. It’s great having this neat service. Trying to track down an accompanist who’s able to prepare practise tracks like the ones I’d ordered is a bit of a challenge so I was very grateful when I discovered your website."
(MS, New Zealand)

(CL, Canada)

"I received your links. Thank you! I already tried the Vocalise and the Swan - its beautifully played, very easy to follow since all little rubatos and rits are so logical....I happened to give a cue to my speakers and they came right in..."
(MD, Germany)

"The downloads are wonderful. I have played professionally for over 50 years. Your recordings have given me the joy of revisiting literature I haven't played in years, even when no pianist is available."

(AF, USA)

"Thank you so much for your prompt response. I have purchased the Five Dances. The tone is absolutely wonderful. I could listen to you all day. Please continue with your wonderful skill."

(BY, USA)

"I just discovered your site "piano-accompaniments“ and wanted to say thank you!
I just purchased the first movement of the Shostakovich Cello Concerto and am already very happy with it! Being an amateur cellist, it’s hard to find and motivate someone to practice the accompaniment of such concertos. Also, your FAQs sound very likable and fair, they really convinced me to buy the recording!"
(HD, Germany)

"And can I just say thank you for these accompaniments. First of all, they're extremely high quality. Secondly, they've been key in bringing me back to playing the cello after many years of not playing at all. It's so much more rewarding playing along to an accompaniment!"
(JC, UK)

"Downloaded them! Thank you for your fast response, the track is amazing and working properly! You surely won a new client!"
(RN, Bulgaria)

(KG, USA)

"I have just downloaded a selection of music for a pupil doing DipABRSM from your site. It is a great help especially in this period when lessons are being done by webcam! Many exams will be done in the same way so quality backing tracks are a brilliant resource."
(CT, UK)

"I have been using your tracks in my studio for a long time. 5 years? Longer? In any case, I’m a big fan. As a part of recital preparation, I normally have students play with the tracks in their lessons for a few weeks before they start to rehearse with our accompanist. When they begin rehearsing with the live accompanist they are so well prepared, it saves so much time and elevates their performances. Thank you again for your excellent recordings and exemplary service. Your tracks are so musical and easy to play with. With so much repertoire you almost have every single major work I teach on violin and viola."
(CK, USA)

"I downloaded all the files and I am very happy with your accompaniment. Great stuff!!"
(SR, Germany)

(LR, UK)

"Thank you very much for such nicely played accompaniments! Fantastic job!"
(AH, Qatar)

"I’ve not listened to all the files yet but the ones I have heard have been great. So useful at a time when lessons are carried out via Zoom not in person, I’m sure we will be back in future for more accompaniments."
(BN, UK)

"Let me say how useful I have found your website and how much fun I have had (over lockdown) revising some pieces I played many years ago. I am now at the stage where I am venturing into new pieces, straining my technique to the absolute limit, and thoroughly enjoying myself."

It's rather nice to revisit some old favourites, I've just had a crack at Brahms, ah it was so nice to play "with" someone again! Will be nice to actually properly learn the rep I never really got to grips with at RAM all those years ago! Your playing sounds absolutely great, my god you nailed it, and with it through an amp at home it's like having a duo partner right here."
(RE, UK)

"I want to thank you for your years of excellent work here with these fine accompaniments. There is SO much out there (especially now...) that is just not of quality.

We joyfully thank you for your professionalism and artistry."
(PS, Australia)

"I think you play the Poulenc just as it should be. Thank you so much!!"
(HM, UK)

"Firstly can I say how fantastic your tracks have been for me this year, especially during lockdown. I have been putting a lot of effort into my solo pieces and was unable to practise with my accompanist when Covid reared its head! Using your tracks has kept me motivated and I have since recommended you to my husband, sister and a close friend, all have now got tracks from you as well!"

(CB, Mexico)

"Hello, Mr. Gardner! It just occurred to me that, after having used your collaborations/accompaniments for several years now, I have NOT ONCE thanked you. I must admit, I am quite ashamed. However, I had no idea it was you who was playing everything! What a fantastic artist you are!
You have helped me prepare for recitals and concerto performances, helped my intonation and rhythm, fulfilled my longing to play music all night long, etc. I could go on and on. You have helped so many of my students prepare as well. In fact, one student of mine, a 10 yo, has been taught by you in his preparation to play the Bach A minor VC with orchestra. He has a rehearsal in just a few hours from now, and I have no doubt it will go very smoothly as a result of your virtual tutelage!
For as dark as these times seem to be getting, what a source of light you continue to provide. Thank you so much for everything you have done!"
(WW, USA)

"Thanks so much! Again, I’m very grateful to have found your site. The recording quality is excellent and you take time in the necessary places. It’s clear that you have a lot of collaborative experience. I have directed all my students to your site."

I downloaded your accompaniments to Brahms Violin Sonata no 1, Beethoven no12, and Schubert Sonatinas a couple of months ago - they have made my practice sessions so much more enjoyable and rewarding! So I'm now trying a few more to give myself some fresh ideas and experiences - as well as revising some old familiar tunes!"

Although I am a piano teacher, I just don't have enough time to learn the suite properly for her audition. What a life saver this is! The parts sound great and have a click "count off" which makes it very easy for the student to practice to. In the meantime, I can work on accompaniment to play live. So glad I found you! I am so relieved! The tracks are already downloaded and ready to go. Sound great."

My students win so many contests and competitions because they are SO familiar with the accompaniment.

2014

"I use your backing tracks for violin, viola and oboe all the time. They are brilliant for practice purposes, but I have also used them for recitals in schools and care homes. The tempi always seem just right (the practice tracks being a bonus when learning new pieces). I have enjoyed using these well recorded tracks so much that I have worked my way through many of the major sonatas as well as other shorter pieces. I have never been disappointed with the tracks and find them to be far superior to many similar products available commercially. The recent half price offer inspired a rush to increase my ever-growing collection. Many thanks! Please do keep adding to the library."
(JE, UK)

"I just wanted to say that you have developed a great site! It's a fantastic idea that is both helpful and inspiring. I've tried (-another company-) before, but the experience of playing with an orchestral recording just seems sloppy or awkward for some reason. Your method of recording MIDI to ensure tempo and pitch consistency leads to a much better result.
I personally find that it's much more inspiring to practice with actual accompaniment versus trying to use one's imagination. I usually get bogged down with repeating certain sections of a piece or wind up playing at too slow a tempo. The accompaniment, played through headphones from my laptop, really keeps me on track. Kudos on a great idea!"
(BM, USA)

"thank you for the quick reply. I just ordered several pieces and looking forward for the download links. Enjoy your accompaniment very much by the way."

"Having your piano accompaniments is such a great help to my teaching. I cant manage piano parts of that level and the modern day classroom teachers in my school are not up to that standard either"

Keep up the great work!"

(AN, USA)

"To an amazing pianist and the owner Supervisor Mr. Paul Gardener,
Hello and thank you very much for sending me your piano accompaniment CDs. I received them on this past Saturday afternoon, June 16, 2012. I had no idea that you were the actual person who played the piano… Wow, I must say that you play the piano so beautifully with such a clear tempo. You know that my previous piano accompanists have been those who have won various piano competition awards, including from that - international Tchaikovsky Piano Competition… and some have been the piano accompanist for top music school graduates and for their students as well… But your piano accompanist sounds so superb and lovely, and it sounds much more better than them even when they are on those CD disks... I am sure that you hear it all the time but it’s like, when I play your piano accompaniment CDs, your music is so alive…and it feels like you are playing right next to me. How is it that you play the piano just like how I want my piano accompanists to play the piano along with me, when you did not even rehearsed with me? All I can tell you is that I was so impressed that I could not pause your music CD, even after just hearing one piece… I just could not turn it off… You know it’s not even about playing with my instrument, but it instantly made me sing along with your CD until the last piece, as I couldn’t stop… So, thank you so much for making these piano accompaniment CDs as it is so helpful to me and for others."

"I would like to leave a testimonial on your website. I purchased the 2nd and 3rd movements of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor for my son last night. This morning he practiced for the first time to it.
I cannot begin to tell you how excited he is. Instead of giving me a hard time about playing parts over, he is more than happy to, so long as we use the piano accompaniment. It is helping him to keep time and to play his notes better.
Thank you. You are a godsend."
(DK, USA)

"Thank you so much for the quick reply! It actually worked through PayPal with my Visa. I'm so happy to have this accompaniment available for my student now.
This is a wonderful idea and a great service for music teachers. It makes it so much fun for students to learn this way. I can also import the MP3 to my Amazing Slow Downer and adjust the tempo to anybody's abilities. I will look for more tunes on your website soon! "
