Yes, we have no bananas

I don't know but I don't like it

;D

where's the largesse in the middle? Not there :(

George


Drasko

Don't particularly like it either, fast and slick. Happen to know the pianist (you should really delete tags before uploading). Here is one to counterweight, shouldn't be difficult.

I'm no good at this, I'm sure, but I will guess Horowitz.

[I meant this in response to Peregrine's post.]

Hofmann! — Love the thirds!

Try these. The first two are (purposely) tricky >:D

1.

2.

3. (Like the Hofmann, there are slight liberties taken at some point... would be the giveaway if you know it)

Thanks, I hadn't heard it before. No Chopin skill evidently  ;D

By the way, which cD is that from?

I'd like to know who this is, it's a really different interpretation.

The first two I didn't like much. On one of them, don't remember which, the term all-fingers comes to mind. Not sure who played any of these

I kept it from one of those Andante historical Chopin sets, voulme 1 IIRC. I kinda' of like the sweep of it...

Aah, now you talking business 8) That is Rachmaninoff second recording, my favorite minute waltz by couple of very longshots.

Sweep is ok, what I didn't like that much is lack of contrast which should be provided by middle section.

Or just haven't heard enough, apparently.

I agree, and this is exactly why it's worth having multiple recordings (IMO) of one's favorite works!
