What are your opinions towards this recording?

Have any of you ever attempted or played this piece before?

Is that you playing?

To answer your questions, I don't think much of the piece, however, it is certainly a very useful study in playing chromatic passages.  I've played through it several times, but I've never studied it seriously, as I don't really like it.

Whoever wants to listen to the mp3 is going to have to wait about an hour or less. :-/

Yeah, I hear it now..

I like it- very controlled even notes.  I third the previous posts- "Is that you?"

I'll assume it is, and say Bravo!!  The only thing I would look at is dynamics.  I didnt really notice any crescendos ro diminuendos, but I could feel their should be some obvious ones.  
Overall however, I think Rachmaninoff AND Rimsky-Korsakov would approve!

Oh... certainly not. ;D I wish I can play that piece but, I will learn as soon as I get a new keyboard.

This recording is actually from a friend of my. I really enjoyed it, especially seeing him play it live.

I just wanted to hear your comments towards it and tell it to my friend, who might soon join this forum.

Sorry for the misunderstanding and thanks for the replies.
