moving.

This is fantastic - do you know whether he recorded anything else? How sad that he took his life at a young age when he was so prodigiously talented...

The man in the potrait is not BACH! This is BACH! triple w and macbach.org/BachVolto_files/js­b1712.jpg

so sad...

Thank you for posting this. My grandmother was actually Kelberine's student and later on his teaching assistant at the Philadelphia Musical Academy back in the 1920s. She's always spoken so highly of his playing, but I hadn't heard a recording until now. I'll look forward to playing this for her.

@borschtforbrains - how old is she?

[MagicDonDino]

The playing leaves an impression of an unknown longing.

Or rather, the piece leaves an impression of an unknown longing.

Impressive playing, great projection of tone...what a sad way to end a career...thanks for posting, I had never heard of this pianist before.

Unfortunately this is the only recording I have of Kelberine! I sometimes enjoy myself imagining how he would play a certain piece...

[MagicSkryabin]

Great, what is this piece i didn't know it !
