On a recent morning, the pianist Jeremy Denk got an early look at the renovated Frick Collection. Not the art: He took an elevator straight down to the museum’s new auditorium where, on entering, he held a hand to his chin and surveyed the three Steinway pianos lined up across the stage like pageant queens.
He walked to an ornate and glossy rosewood grand from 1882, and warmed up with some music by Bach before jumping around, to Beethoven’s Op. 111 sonata and other hits of the piano repertoire. Denk asked if anyone in the room had a request. He was, he said, “happy to be a jukebox.”
But he was also there with a serious task. The Frick’s old Music Room, a haven for chamber performances, rented its piano, said Jeremy Ney, the museum’s new head of music and performance. So Annabelle Selldorf’s renovation and expansion of the Frick, which includes a 220-seat auditorium that sounds like a world-class concert hall and looks like the inside of a flower, was an opportunity to purchase a new instrument.
The question was, what kind?
With a team that included Raj Patel, the acoustician who worked on the auditorium, Ney assembled a trio of pianos to choose from, all Model D Steinways but with distinct sounds based on when they were made and where: the 1882 one, nicknamed Palisandra; another, from 1965, called Volodya; and a 2017 concert grand made in Hamburg, Germany.
Over the past several weeks, a handful of pianists passed through to sample them and offer their thoughts ahead of the hall’s opening festival, April 26 through May 11. Denk was one, spending a couple of hours to play each instrument and suggest which the Frick should buy. He skipped around musical eras, playing excerpts from “pieces that require color,” he said, “pieces that feature lyricism, pieces where you need clarity and speed.”
