Title: Rachmaninoff, Prelude Op. 32, No. 5 in G
Post by: rachfan 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.
