What did you record this on, this is definitely not a real piano..

You play really really well, those are some tough etudes to play (actually they're all just the hardest things to ever pull off)...How long have you been playing ?

I didn't really care much for your Pleasure Suicide...I think you've um...I'm not gonna say destroyed a really good piece but lol...Yeah...please...no more destruction of beautiful Rachmaninoff periods...please...lol...I think you have some good ideas, but you can't really call those original compositions...more like adding a techno beat to Rachmaninoff masterpieces...please....stop....lol But great chopin playing...

sounds like a grand piano to me

[eviani]

I'm pretty sure it's a keyboard controlling a really good piece of software...something sounds "not real" in there...

[Franciszek]

Ok sorry 4 these trance beats mixed with Rachmaninow. but BTW, pay attention to piano solo parts of these compositons- these are beautiful phrases from Rachamaninov magnificient pieces and im proud of how ive played them. To be honest i did these mixes because im unable yet to play whole orginal compositions.
All is played on Yamaha S90 grand piano. Its based on sound of Steinway pianos i belive.

I'm not dismissing you're impressive technique and you're phrasing...you should listen to Shura Cherkassy, Sviatoslav Richter, Krystian Zimmerman for the Chopin/Rachmaninoff to see how they phrase and try to learn from them, it's tough to play effectivitly on a keyboard versus a real piano...lol just hearing that stuff with trance beats was really scary...I would rather hear you play them without them - it's easier to take note of your phrasing.

[Franciszek]

Ok, i recorded an orginal piece by Rachmanonoff.. Its Moment Musicaux nr 4 op 16.

pleasure suicide was great,you should sell it to dream theater

[Sandro]

WOW! Anybody who can play chopin and Rachmaninoff that well, is amazing! I believethat even Jordan preformed Chopin's Revolutionary Etude on the "Steinway to Heaven" CD as you played it here, and I gotta say, you played it VERY WELL!

[Franciszek]

Thank you very much 4 comments so far. Im very glad that you like my interpretations:]

The Chopin stuff is very good. Very well played. Regarding "PleasureSuicide.mp3" - the piano stuff is, again, very well done, but that tuneless wailing noise - I can't quite tell if it's a synth or a guitar, and I'm not sure it matters - renders it unlistenable.

[Liquid Shadow]

I'm listening to the Revolutionary right now...very impressive technique. I know this song as well, but I can't play it anywhere near your level. Once I hit that speed it just becomes a sloppy blur.

Great interpreations of Chopin and Rachminov 2 of my favourite classical composers.

You played them awesomely with the trance beat wow that was innovative and influential. That reminded me of Wendy Carlos Bach on Moog Brandenburg concerto played on MOOG Synthesizer.


Yamaha S90 is a great 88-note Piano-weighted action keyboard.:smile:

[ehaug]

That was very impressive. How long have you been playing?

[Franciszek]

about 10 years, but with some intermissions
