Rhapsody (Rachmaninoff)

Schumann's love letter to his wife-to-be. Lovely little musical quote from the Ave Maria at the end - her favourite piece.  Romantic bastard...

Song From A Secret Garden

My take on Chopin's saddest little prelude.  Two and a half minutes of ache.


Chopin Prelude No. 4 In E Minor, Op. 28

Schindler's List Theme : Tina Guo

Bach doing his thing. Notice the 2nd half (1'20) starts with an inversion of the opening theme. Bach just riffing away with delight :)

(for those asking, it's played by me as are all of my tracks on SoundCloud)

Bach French Suite No. 5: Gigue

Chopin's insane, angry, beautiful 2nd scherzo. He weighted 88lbs soaking wet but having heard and played this I wouldn't argue with him...

Me playing Rachmaninov's mind-ravaged, bleak and totally fucked study. Too many notes, too many thoughts.
Played live and unedited.

Rachmaninoff Prelude in G Minor performed by Michael Ruiz

The Chopin Fantaisie-Impromptu is one of those iconic pieces of the classical piano repertoire. It is arguably played too much so why have I added my performance? I think the infinite ways a piece can change in the hands of different musicians is actually very interesting. My version is fast but lyrical and I search for an unexaggerated and natural romanticism and warmth.

Chopin - Nocturne in C sharp minor by Nana Peradze  
The Chopin nocturnes constitute 21 short pieces for solo piano written by Frédéric Chopin between 1827 and 1846. They are generally considered among the finest short solo works for the instrument and hold an important place in contemporary concert repertoire.

Rachmaninoff - Vocalise Op. 34, No. 14

Beginning at 23:30 on Saturday May 16th and through 3:00 Monday May 18th, 2009 Chilly Gonzales broke the Guiness World Record for longest concert by a solo artist. The previous record was 26 hours and 12 minutes and was performed by Prasanna Gudi (India) at the Mallikarjun Mansoor Kala Bhavan public auditorium, Dharwad, Karnataka, India from 28 to 29 December 2008.

Gonzales explained his motivation: “I will do this to push my musical and physical stamina. I believe music is part art, part athletics and this 27-hour concert will demonstrate both aspects.”

Gonzales had been consulting with the Guiness Book of Record to ensure a smooth attempt and an Official Guinness Judge adjudicated the event on site. Repertoire touched on recognizable songs from all eras and styles of music, in new and surprising arrangements. There was no repetition of material during the attempt. As Gonzales himself said “I will break the record without sounding like a broken record”.

The record attempt took place at the theatre of notable French film director Claude Lelouch, Theatre Ciné 13 in Paris. The attempt in its entirety was streamed live on the web and achieved #2 Twitter Trend status at its peak.

Chopin Frédéric - Waltz No.19

Dmitri Shostakovich wrote his Symphony No. 2 in B major, Op. 14 and subtitled To October, for the 10th anniversary of the October Revolution. It was first performed by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra and the Academy Capella Choir under Nikolai Malko, on 5 November 1927. After the premiere, Shostakovich made some revisions to the score, and this final version was first played in Moscow later in 1927 under the baton of Konstantin Saradzhev. It was also the first time any version of the work had been played in Moscow.
