This is a sub-board to showcase great recordings and performances found on YouTube or similar video sharing sites. There is a wealth of treasures out there, simply waiting to be unearthed. This board aims to be an ongoing collection of such performances.
I suggest that we create a new post on this board for each video or set of related videos, with discussion to follow.
You can insert the video directly into the posts, but please
observe the formatting and copy it exactly, or else the video will not show up.
Here is a preview of what I mean:
http://www.youtube.com/v/zYOpnq6h_MsA Young Shostakovich performing Op.35The technique and formating is as follows:
Press the Flash icon

on the post page.
That will produce the following tags:
[flash=200,200][/flash]
By default, it sizes to 200x200 pixels
Replace the 200,200 to YouTube's 425,350
Each YouTube video has a unique identifier - it is the code found in the URL after the "v="
Insert the URL
http://www.youtube.com/v/ between the flash tags, adding the unique YouTube identifier at the end.
Final format for the above result:
[flash=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/v/zYOpnq6h_Ms[/flash]
You can simply cut and paste the above code and replace the unique YouTube identifier at the end with your own.
cheers
