Rachmaninov: Etude 39/1 (live)
on: April 11, 2006, 07:21:04 PM
A recording from the same competition as the Ondine. I wonder when I'll learn to take enough time at the end of pieces.. The last chord is soooo ugly and ahead of time :-X Not that everything else in it is perfect...

wow.  you sound like carl cranmer.  very smooth playing.  very beautiful and subdued and classic/romantic.  happen to be a huge fan of your playing, too.  you have great tone.  --i think the ending does sound rushed but maybe you'd just been playing a lot.  amazing playing!

hey, i heard your last recording and i mentioned that it lacked fire or passion. this one is excellent, you have improved it a lot. good job.
