Rachmaninoff Prelude 23/7 video (small file too!)
on: August 09, 2005, 02:27:29 AM
This is an ultra compressed video, and it was not very good picture/sound quality to begin with, so just a warning. Also, it was taken 11 years ago...

lol I think I saw this like a year ago or so at Chopin Files.. or something..
I remember the comments about the hair XD

nice job though :) very smooth
dynamic wise could have been a bit more, well, 'dynamic,' at times but that's prob just the old rec quality
anyway tis cool

Someone in another thread asked me for more videos and this is one of the only ones I have on the computer.  Yes I did post it on Chopin files about a year ago, good memory.

i think the melody needs to stand out more... and i prefer it to be more gentle.

maybe its just the recording.

just my 2 pence.

You are absolutely right. It was played way too violently, and definitely needed to be more gentle. I think I played everything like that back in my undergraduate years. 

Just curious, which "melody" are you speaking of?
