I have a CD of Rachmaninoff playing this piece via a Bosendorfer 290SE Reproducing Piano. The CD is the second of two featuring this Reproducing Piano, both entitled "A Window in Time", the first featuring all SVR's works recorded on piano rolls, the second featuring his transcriptions of ...

Too bad the rest of us won't be able to hear Mr. Flint's presentation.

Hi, StewH here, if I may....Siloti's father's name was Ilya, thus Siloti's "patronymic" was Ilyich.

A beautiful performance, no doubt! But have you viewed the videos of Karel Bredenhorst and his pianist (not accompanist!), Sofja Gulbadanova, on the same site? All four movements of the sonata are there--such a performance, it was most moving. With young musicians such as these two performing SVR's ...

There appears to have been some spam posted here and a couple of other places. That's what my comment was aimed at.

I wonder - is it possible to cut out all the archive video out of that film and make a separate movie?

I wouldn't want to guess at the problems you would encounter in attempting to edit the original film--all in all, probably not a good idea.

PS I've also found that as soon as I put the link to this board in the Favorites section in the menu above, it gets to the end of the favorites list every time, even after I'd moved it upstairs :roll: May be that's only in my computer?

I've noticed not once that when the structure of the forum is divided in many classified branches it gets less and less visited, because you need to click many times more to find all the new topics.
