Rachmaninoff - Prelude in E flat Major, Op. 23 No. 6

A short and lyrical prelude from Rachmaninoff with none of his usual broodiness. Written right after the birth of his first child, Irina. From his set of 10 preludes, Op. 23.
For me, the hardest part of this piece was to naturally incorporate rubato without disrupting the overall flow of the rippling 16th notes and turning it into a mushy mess (although admittedly I do like it with a little mush).
Piano: Kawai Novus NV-10
Piano VST: Garritan CFX Full
My current CFX settings: forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthread...

Well, I like the timing of your releases. Your performances are such exquisite experiences that like a fattening bonbon, savor what you have received to enjoy this time and when the opportunity presents itself savor again. Your technique is absolutely marvelous and the artistic expression always satisfying. The Rachmaninov Preludes as well as other compositions of his suit your musical personality well. Any composition you desire to perform gets such a superb reading that the listener can savor the experience because it lingers in the mind for a long time. Your care in your abilities to make music is a gift the you well protect. Here, here, you appreciate the gift you give so generously......carry on caring...... we ALL love your musical gift!

Niceee, this is one of my favourite Rach preludes! Such a nice singing quality in this one. I really need to practise getting those notes in between the right hand octaves quieter.

Beautiful as always. Thanks for sharing. Hope to listen Moment Musicaux Op.16 No 1 from you too :)

[@genesis4200]

Yoooo new upload let's goo!! Actually pumped to see you play this, it is incredibly underrated i think! Btw how much time do you spend on learning&polishing a piece like this?

[@rach3master]

Thanks. Probably a little over a week.

[@roadscapehorror-talesofterror]

Your playing is amazing. You play like someone who is from Eastern Europe or east of Eastern Europe if you catch my drift, meaning the best there is out there. Me, I am struggling along with this piece.

[@wheretheislandsgo]

Great as always. Ever consider music from AoT?

[@rach3master]

I should. Some of the music is really great.

[@SI-kt5ls]

1:11 harmony is not correct

[@richardvaughan4509]

Way too much pedal for my taste....
