Rachmaninoff - Prelude Op.32 No.8 - Paul Barton, piano

I'd just like to ask what equipment was used to record the sound, it sounds really crisp and clear with no noise in the background. By the way, beautiful playing!

[AfroPoli]

Well done. Nice sound, soft but firm.

You are an incredibly skilled piano player. This is inspiring. I also appreciate the effort you make in presenting a very good quality audio/visual recording. Very few people go to these lengths! Thanks!

Very good playing, I enjoyed your rendition. I am currently playing this Prelude too.

However, I noticed you don't play a chord at about 0:33 (G# and E) same for 0:35 , and the second time you play the same left hand pattern as the first time (octaves B B E), but it is meant to be a G# and E chord followed by an E octave. Is this done deliberately?

Wow! How could you make such wonderful sounds out of this upright piano?

@vivian2nana Contrary to popular belief upright pianos are actually badass.

Dear Paul, it would be a great idea: after Chopin's Etudes, Rachmaninov's 24 Préludes......It would suit you so well......I love Op.32 n°5.....if you need a

special request.......
