Rachmaninoff plays Polka de W.R. 

This likely isn’t rachmaninoff. The recording is far too modern. Listening to his other recordings for comparison proves it.

@@FoxyJohn Modern technology gives the ability to clean up old recordings and piano rolls, reproducing them on a modern instrument without compromising the original interpretation.

одним словом было бы вот так: Сврахманинов 😅

Это у вас получилось несколько предложений

Welte-Mignon reproducing machine -- something like a player piano roll but much more accurate. Thus Rachmaninoff's playing, reproduced on a modern instrument.

And a bit more, this is from Stahnke who put together the “Window in Time” album. Stahnke was an electrical engineer. He took the Welte-Mignon script (a very high quality roll that contains every nuance of the pianist including pedal expression, attack, force on the key, etc.) Stahnke then devised an electromechanical movement for the piano. In this case it was installed on a German Bosendorfer piano. That mechanism and the ability to digitize music and feed it to the mechanism became the basis for Yamaha’s Disklavier piano. What you hear is Rachy playing with all the nuances, expressions, etc. as if he was actually on the keyboard, only the piano is in a modern recording studio with the best microphones and recording/mixing equipment. This is the next best thing to Rachmaninoff rising from the dead and playing a concert for us.

Btw, Rachmaninoff and Horowitz were besties

I dont. Too much this and that. Can’t enjoy anymore. This is simple and not pretentious.

anybody cares that you prefer Horowitz? 😅

@@eugenekostrin2109 btw, rachmaninoff admitted that Horowitz understands his music better than he Does lmao
