Rachmaninoff, Prelude Op. 32, No. 5 in G

on: June 07, 2006, 01:15:23 AM

This prelude is a sensuous tonal picture with a soaring cantilena melody.

Where there are a lot of new forum members since I posted this piece last June, I thought I'd re-post it from the archives. Comments welcome.

Hi tds,

Yes, I saw the "Horowitz in Moscow" video at a friend's house after I recorded this piece. Although I don't own the video, I do have the CD. I've never heard anyone that could play Op. 32, No. 5 and create the nuances that Horowitz produced. You could not have picked a better model performance--his is definitive.

Hi zheer,

Yeah, sorry about that loud page turn!

Seems like the music publishers alway manage to put those turns at the most inopportune places. Glad you still liked it though. Thanks.
