I was just practicing tonight and felt like recording one of the pieces.  Beethoven's Sonata No. 14 in C# minor Op. 27 No. 2, or otherwise known as 'Quasi una fantasia' or the 'Moonlight Sonata'.  I recorded this on a Steinway D and mastered it in my mastering studio www.alpinemastering.com  

Hope you all enjoy.

MEDLEY (La foule,L'accordeoniste,Padam...l' orgue des amoureux)

Finally the third one. This is probably the most lyiric, very singing and beautifully sad. Probably the most difficult to perform in the "right" way. I listened to many great pianists and they have very different pace. But the best to me is Aldo Ciccolini rendition, whom I humbly tried to imitate...
