Hearing other GMGers performing

[aquablob]

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?

[Black Knight]

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.

I am in awe of your Chopin, aquarius! Very well done!! Thanks for the link.

Thanks, George! 

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  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 

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!

[Cato]

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!

Preludes 13 and 24, Op. 28: [mp3=200,20,0,center]http://download138.mediafire.com/jgxvs20imtpg/1fkgztn2yqn/12+Preludes+Op.+28+No.+13+and+24.mp3[/mp3]

Nocturne in F minor, Op. 55/1: [mp3=200,20,0,center]http://download138.mediafire.com/gsjvh4ejzw3g/7bf0hmxzlty/04+Nocturne+in+F+minor%2C+Op.+55%2C+No.+1.mp3[/mp3]

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.

These days, you could run circles around him.
