Thanks! The piano is a Steinway O - I suspect it is the recording equipment which is a bit too amateurish, maybe I need to upgrade.
I'm new to this piece and was blown away - a fantastic performance, both technically, emotionally and in quality of sound. I was particularly...
Not only for fans of Battlestar Galactica - I think this piece stands well on its own! McCreary, Passacaglia (piano version from 2010).
The soundcloud link fails. I watched the video of the first movement: very impressive and evocative! It's like a whole new Liszt piece! Very...
A belated thanks for your comments! Yes I took the tempo down a notch to attempt to gain more clarity, and to emphasize the ambiguous feeling...
There is something wrong with the first link, it will not open. I listened to the arietta, and it is clear and precise, very well done! Truly a...
Three short pieces by Shostakovich. Comments welcome! Joachim
I second much of Kaila's comments. It is great to hear a personal take on this famous piece. An observation if I may: In the A section the melody...

Chopin op 33 no 4. It is like being at a dance workshop where some things are repeated excessively, some things explode emotionally, some things...
Really well played and very truw to the Debussy idiom. For a live performance this is remarkable, I hardly heard any slips!
Indeed very beautiful. I liked the rubatos, they emphasize the singing quality. The last minute or so I found much less interesting, the music...
I liked it, very consistent! You might consider using more ornaments to make it more lively. What instrument are you playing on?
I really liked both of these. The Passepied is really lovely and you beautifully bring out the dance-like qualities with superb phrasing. And the...
I listened to the two I have played. 10/12 you do really well in bringing out nuances and expressions. For some reason I though it snappier and...
I enjoyed it! Thanks for posting. Well played with consistent and convincing expression.
Well done! My only gripe is about tempo instability, the beginning is slower than the end, and something strange happens around 0'18''. Otherwise...
Chris, I am really sorry to hear this and will miss you very much. I am an intermittent visitor and contributor and have greatly benefited from...
