How dare he!

ouch... this is painful to listen to :grimace:
my ears have never been so offended! Maybe it was supposed to be an April Fool's joke?
Honestly it was very painful to listen to, it sounds like the recording is skipping...

Maybe he tried to sight read it...::shiver::
You think we should contanct him lol

LOL!! I sure hope it's a joke!

what in the world is this? It must be the worst or least serious pianist in history... Bonny Roberts, I'm not buying your recording.

Have a look here:

Maybe Bonny Roberts is Rob47’s real name and the MP3 is the result of the above post…

Uhhhggg...I seriously believe that most of the pianists here could sight read more competently than that.

Wow, very well done. Good phrasing. Especially in the beginning. I like how even though she made it seem like she was just pushing random notes, Bonnie still made it work. A very unique interpretation.

Maybe it was posted by an ex-boyfriend as a cruel form of revenge.

Dont laugh... thats exactly how I played about 6 years ago.... bear in mind that I was 16 at tge time :-/

yep ladies and gentlemen, that there are the effects of alkeehol on smaller ladies with little blood like ms. Bonny Roberts!

Tash · «Reply #12 on: August 30, 2004, 02:19:50 PM »

well at least she brought out the right notes in the 2nd theme! hmm i think that's what i woudl sound like if i ever decided to playing it smashed. i wonder what my non-musical friends would think if i played it like that...my teacher'd probably smash me if i did that!

I've never heard anything more freaky in my life. The ending was horrible too. I could hardly recognize what piece that was. People must be on drugs to put such a performance for public listening

PS Is it a he or a she? Everyone on the forum refers to ? differently.

I've never heard of a man named Bonny, so I'm assuming it's a woman.

Hey, her Bach is okay:

They show a picture, and it's a man!

Balakirev · «Reply #17 on: August 31, 2004, 06:30:35 AM »

I kinda liked it... I think it is a protest: over played!

Or

Some kind of artistic expression beyond my understandment

The rhythm was irratic to say the least, there are wrong notes everywhere, trills are messy, need I say more? If it doesnt convey the message Chopin had written between the lines, any "artistic expression" is annoying, confusing and is an insult to Chopin- I bet this person played with a number of mannerisms as well!

it is a form of postmodernism, questioning 'what is classical music'- it can be whatever you like, self-interpretation is the key and can be done however you like it and who's there to question it?

pianojems · «Reply #20 on: September 01, 2004, 06:11:15 AM »

:)Figures.....this kind of music can only come out of a man named Bonny!! LOL

Tash · «Reply #21 on: September 01, 2004, 01:23:48 PM »

ay, i can imagine him coming from ireland or somewhere in the uk (no offence i love the place) in some old pub, quite drunk, and having a bit of a play to impress his drunken mates

Swan · «Reply #22 on: September 02, 2004, 07:31:50 AM »

Best laugh I've had in a while.

Takes quite a bit of skill to play that badly!

pianojems · «Reply #23 on: September 03, 2004, 03:52:02 AM »

By the way where did you see his picture, I would like to see it

liszmaninopin · «Reply #24 on: January 09, 2005, 04:16:53 AM »

Does anybody know what happened to this recording? One can always turn to it for a few laughs.

donjuan · «Reply #25 on: January 09, 2005, 06:19:54 AM »

haha looks like it's dissapeared!!
Maybe he came across this forum thread about his crappy performance and decided to take it off the internet so everyone would stop laughing at him!

liszmaninopin, Why did you change your name?

liszmaninopin · «Reply #26 on: January 09, 2005, 03:30:06 PM »

No particular reason, I just felt it time for a change.
