Hear me play

These are some recordings of me playing. Tell me what you think! These were recorded on varying dates under various conditions (and pianos!)

Rachmaninoff - Prelude in D, op.23 no.4

Ravel - Valses nobles et sentimentales

Ricketson - Three Waltzes

Oh man...

OK. How to say this without going over-the-top...

Alright, what the hell...I listened to the Rachmaninov, and ya made me cry. And that's a really good thing in my book. ;)

I'll listen to the others when I think I can stand it.

You're a very fine pianist. I find it heartening, and not a little miraculous, to hear such refined yet not overwrought technique, such mature emotion...yet such elegant, almost exquisite restraint - all in one very talented young musician. It gives an older, often cynical person like me, heartsick at the world, hope for the future.

That was a little over the top, but I don't care. :) Thanks for sharing that.

Thanks, J. Lee. That's really nice to hear from another person.

Although I'm afraid you may be a bit disappointed in the other two - I recording them a while back and they aren't quite up to the standard of the Rachmaninoff.
