Anna Fedorova, Chopin, Polonaise in F-Sharp minor Op.44 

If she were any more gorgeous my laptop would melt.

During the Chopin Competition she played it also quite well !

Ridiculous, better than Horowitz and Pogorelich. No way. This interpretation misses "schwung" and impetus. And the start is really bad ...

Dear Nathan, Thank you for you comment. Indeed all I used were 2 MXL 992 mogami microphones in a so called NOS stereo setup. I used to work for the NOS.(Dutch radio and TV) Look on Wikipedia page (nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOS_Stereosysteem) It is artificial head. Its recorder on my Mac harddisk and edited in Logic Pro where I cut all audio below 30Hz. to avoid unwanted sounds. I also swap the LR channels to get the lower keyboard notes to the Left and the higher to the right. Sounds more natural to me. I did place as you can see the microphones not to far away. This to avoid(autumn/winter time) unwanted coughs from the public. Thats why I had to add a tiny bit of extra reverb. ( I normally don't do this) The camera's were just 3 very cheap HD ones. I alse did record (video only) the rehearsal to get extra shots to use in the editing. The audio of the camera's were only to have a guide track for the Video editing that was done in Adobe premiere. Its a pity that I have to use the halls lighting that only comes from straight above. Watch the recordings done(not by me) during a daytime concert in the Concertgebouw. ru-vid.comvideos?sort=p&view=0&shelf_id=2 Anna was very lucky to be offered by Kawai germany to use their Shigeru Kawai grand piano. I think that sound great! The Concertgebouw themselves only use/have Steinway. Jacob
