Chopin: Waltz in C#minor op.64 no.2

Hugh Wolff conducts the New England Conservatory Philharmonia in a performance of Mahler’s Symphony no 5 in C sharp minor. Recorded live in NEC's Jordan Hall September 30, 2015.
Conductor Hugh Wolff's work with Mahler has been well received by Boston audiences, particularly during NEC's "Mahler Unleashed" season in 2011. "As thrilling as any performance on record" (Boston Globe) was among the accolades for Mahler's First Symphony as performed by the NEC Philharmonia under Wolff's baton.

Chopin Etude Op. 25 No. 10

Godowsky's ethereal piano transcription of Camille Saint-Saëns' 'Le Cygne', taken from his musical suite 'The Carnival of the Animals.'

I started learning this piece about 3 weeks ago, after being inspired by Hamelin's live performance of the same work on YouTube.  Anyway I decided to record one of my play-throughs today and it didn't sound half-bad so here it is :P It's still light years from where I want it to be but I thought I'd just like to share one of my favourite piano works.  The main difficulties I faced when tackling this piece were the ridiculous key signature, complicated voicing and cross-rhythms between the right and left hands.  I'll probably record a proper one in another couple of weeks to see how much I improve.  In the meantime, enjoy! :D
