I just made a video of me playing the last 2.5 minutes of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody #12.  Take a look:

P.S. I'm glad to be back on this forum!

You've been missed! In fact, your name (or your ID) came up in a conversation I had within these past seven days . . . .

You play quite well!

How about that "West Side Story" video?

Welcome back, Kwoon!  Quite an impressive bit of piano playing, there!  (Even if it is Liszt...   )

You've been missed!

Karl, thanks for remembering me!

How about that "West Side Story" video?

I laughed my arse off the first few times I listened to it.  It's such terrible singing!

Nice playing!!!!

I didn't listen to classical music much in the past few years and so I wasn't active on this site.  But Cliburn's passing brought me here to see what people had said about his death, which eventually led me to rediscover this old thread that I started almost 5 years ago.  I have made many more videos since then, which you can view on YouTube:

Paul, thanks for welcoming me back.  Not at all in touch with Farmer.  How about you?

Nice to see an old familar face back on the forum 

Did you ever get around to opening all of your 'unopened' cds?

Sorry about taking over 5 years to respond! Yes I did unwrap all my CDs. I was forced to unwrap them because I had to rip them into MP3. After 7 years I finally finished ripping my entire collection of >6,000 CDs, after which I listened to all of them as background music in my office every single day, which took about 4 years.

Oh, I have uploaded a few more videos to YouTube since my last log-in:

Welcome back!

[Kwoon]

Welcome back!

Karl, thanks for always welcoming me back! I will probably disappear again for several years. See you in the 2020s! (But of course I'll see you on Facebook.)

Listening to your home made Liszt TE. Harmonies du Soir is my favourite Liszt TE and i love the way you played it. Such a delicate touch in places and also great clarity.
