Debussy's Reverie

[wzkit]

Recorded on my Sauter 185 Delta. The first recording is after the first tuning, in May this year. The second recording is a few days after the second tuning, after I asked my technician to give it a more rounded, warmer tone. Do tell me which is preferred. Comments are welcome!

You playing is beautiful.  The lines are lyric, the luscious fuzziness of impressionism shines through. 

One minor comment.  On my computer, the ff s at about 1:14 sound a bit tight, and could be more relaxed and resonant.  But it might just be my speakers not being about to cope.

Again, Beautiful playing.  Thanks for posting.

Very well done.  Miind you, I have the feeling that you play well within your limits.  Nothing wrong with that but I am expecting a little more from you 
Kind Regards

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Mfortin - you're right that I'm playing within my limits. But then again, I wouldn't want to record something that was out of my limits  either I don't think I would get any satisfaction out of hearing myself play badly!

I only find one recording, so I can't compare it to anything. For my money, this piano sound is perfect. It's haunted me badly. I do find your rubato up to the main treble theme a bit predictable after a while, but mostly I like the performance.

really nice recording

I think its fine to play "within your limits" when you can produce a performance this polished. This particular piece might not be as 'technically demanding' as others, but it takes a different kind of skill to play with that expression and control even in slower pieces.

I would like to hear you play Debussy's Hommage a Rameau - from Images book I!

Thanks all for the comments. Pianohenry - I'll certainly look to learning Hommage a Rameau!
