We had a thread like this on the old forum. We used a Yahoo E-mail address to post the recordings, but the process was somewhat tedious (both in terms of posting and retrieving the files). Does anyone have any better ideas for posting audio files? There is always www.yousendit.com, but those files do not last very long.
I do have a few recordings (including a new one) I will post when we decide on a medium. Any ideas?
what about Youtube.com?

Hey, you got more piano stuff for us?
I don't really see the problem with yahoo? Otherwise, there's always gmail...
Okay, I decided to just go with the same Yahoo account. Go to http://mail.yahoo.com and log in using "GMGrecordings" as user name and "goodmusicguide" as PW. I posted two new recordings (including some Beethoven), and there are quite a few others (from other members and myself) posted a while back that are still accessible.
I hope you will post your own recordings if you have any!
I just posted two of my recordings from a while back. Neither of them are perfect, nor am I that pleased with my playing, but the music is great and its unlikely that you will have heard it!
Feldman Durations II and Delius Elegy both for cello and piano.

Thanks, George! :D
Like the new avatar, by the way. Maybe I'll update also.
aquariuswb, I guess when you can play the d minor prelude, there isn't much you can't. Great work!
I put two recordings I made today. One of them is Chopin's mzurka no22 g sharp minor. Unfortunately the playing is amateur at best ;D plus I had to do a direct recording from the piano so I couldn't use my piano sound library, therefore the sound is not very good. Plus it's mono :P
The second is what I'm working on Scarlatti K087. Only the first part is here, I can not perform the second part live yet :-\
Yesterday I heard and saw GMG member Toledobass play the double bass with the Toledo Symphony orchestra for the Bruckner Eighth Symphony at the cathedral. Stefan Sanderling is their conductor.
Excellent performance: standing ovation almost immediately, and this one was deserved. The double bass section sounded very smooth, along with the rest of the strings, holding their own against the brass and against cathedral acoustics.
Bravo, Allan!

Bravo, Allan!
Toledobass aka
Allan said the strings had to fight weather fluctuations to stay in tune: high humidity and temperatures one day, and then a big change the next.
These are things most of us in the audience don't suspect.
Here Im playing my Romance In D flat major.
Its sort of a improvisation/composition type of a piece.

Thought I'd test out the new GMG .mp3-embedding system with the Chopin I already shared on the Yahoo account from past recitals (mistakes and all!). Hopefully more people will take the time to listen to fellow GMGers performing if all they have to do is hit the play button!

I thought the nocturne was fine.
Here is a video of Horowitz playing it:

His triols are more refined and longer and the overall tempi is not so rubato.

Here is a recording of me playing my Yamaha Digital piano.
Harpsichord and Strings In D minor
I composed it as I went through the piece (Its called Improvisation doesnt it) ? :)

Well the mp3 system was working perfectly for me just a little while ago, but now whenever I press play, the "Loading" process appears to be stuck at "010". However, this problem seems to be only occuring in this particular thread for me... ???
Me too. :-[

Yes, Horowitz is a better musician than I, by just a smidgeon. ;)

Mr. Aquariuswb, i'm afraid that it is not possible to link mp3 files from mediafire to the embedded audio player, because mediafire does not offer direct downloads. You need a site that let's you host files that can be downloaded directly, that means no pop up menus, no click "download" signs, this is the only way this mp3 thing will work.
my suggestions to solve this problem:
fileden.com - i think it was Greta who first suggested it, this site should do the trick. Simply upload your files up there, and then link the mp3, that should work.

This is interesting -- I did, in fact, use the direct links to the .mp3 files (the URLs that I used ended with ".mp3," not "html"; I had to check the site sources for the filenames), and those embedded files were working for a while, but do not seem to be working any longer. And the files are still on mediafire... not quite sure what the problem is, but I imagine you are correct that mediafire is not the right medium, though for a different reason than the one you suggest.
I will try your suggestion:

perfect!
This isn't just me performing, but rather the whole (more or less) La Jolla Symphony, the community orchestra I play in in San Diego in my spare time. Although you can actually hear a little bit of M in some places because the recording engineer put the spotmic for the basses right in front of me.
It is Shostakovich' Festive Overture, recorded live last year in a concert conducted by the young and very talented conductor Sharon Lavery. Some rough spots here and there, but overall, I think the orchestra did quite well. It is not an easy piece.

Have just posted something on the gmgrecordings@yahoo.com but I´m not sure if I did it right. I just have the recording on a cd, but it took me long time to get it copied to the computer. And then again to the email. Its such a mess.
Just got some recording equipment and I've posted a Chopin Etude on gmgrecordings@yahoo.com. To access the file (less than 2 MB), go to http://mail.yahoo.com and sign in with username "GMGrecordings" and password "goodmusicguide"
Mikkel -- the files you posted did not work. Try converting them to mp3's and try again!
