Convincing performance. You must have an exceptional technique to have such control over it.

Loved it. You and your wife are very good pianists and to play live as well is very difficult.

Congratulations on a fine performance.

What a fine recording of this piece! I enjoyed the glissandos and how this piece makes me want to do waltz(but I need a partner). And how marvelous for you and your wife to play together and share that common interest ! Keep on playing and enjoying your music!
Thanks for sharing your recording.

best wishes,

Dear Oreno
I heard all your recordings (the two pianos recordings and the solo piano)
and so much enjoy and was pleased!!
You have a fantastic technique and amazing, wonderful interpretation.
Your touch, in the one hand, is so powerful and in the other hand soft, gentle and clearly.
I have just need to say: "congratulations and Bravo"!!!

This arrangement has always fascinated me (since my teens) and all I can really say is Bravissimo!!!

Very nice.... Maybe the 2 piano verison is even more difficult to pull off convinsingly that the 1 piano version of this masterpiece - you do a very good job.

There are always small things that go wrong - at some times you are not completely synchronized and in some spots the interplay too obvious - like you hear strings conducted by one and winds by another conductor

Then again the tempo could be a little faster - but that's personal opinion - plz check out my version of it and let me know what you think.

I envy you - I wish I had a girlfriend who could play La Valse with me
