Chopin: Ballade no 3, A flat-major op. 47
on: November 10, 2012, 07:21:35 PM
Hi again.

Here´s the 3rd ballade. Recorded in the same hall at my school, and with the same equipment as the other ballades.
Personally I like the recordings of the 2nd and 3rd the most. Probably because those were the ones I recorded first in those evenings I did record. I hope you enjoy them anyhow! :)

Very intelligent playing. I only listened to the first 20 seconds before i had to leave, but i can tell you now that there isn't much to say. Of course I'm sure you'd rather have a different piano haha, but there is a nice clear tone that reminds me of zimerman. On the other hand I hate that guy, so you might not take it as a compliment.
Oh right play play the slower parts faster and the faster parts slower.
And the beginning measure should give the idea of a opening flower, if you've ever seen those nature videos with sped up time

Toward the Flame: Boris Petrushansky’s Journey Through Scriabin’s Universe

Alexander Scriabin died in April 1915, at forty-three, of a fever that took him within a week — leaving his great mystical project unfinished. He left behind a piano language no one had spoken before, one that a century later still questions every interpreter who approaches it. Boris Petrushansky has spent a lifetime preparing his answer. In a new album and an extended conversation with Piano Street, he traces Scriabin’s path from the early Preludes to the final, shattering Op. 74. Read more
