The man himself played a Hamburg Steinway, but at last night’s somewhat contentious finals in Israel five of the six finalists (we hear) chose Faziolis from Italy.

The remark is made probably not by a pianist.
Fazioli in the competition had a v loud crisp sound versus the Steinway with a rounder sound.
If you play in the finals big Russian concertos what will you prefer?
If you are a musician you choose a piano that helps you bring the character of the music .So for loud crisp music a loud instrument.
Never generalize about pianos just to create an unfair statement!

I agree. The reason they chose Fazioli is because they wanted a very extroverted sound, being compared to each other. Steinway has a deeper, rounder sound.
Rubenstein played New York Steinways as well…including in the very picture you posted…
