It's really good, and I like the random bits of Rach 3 in there. What would be great is if you added a minicadenza, sort of like the one in Rach's Liebesleid and Liebesfreud arrangements.
@pianojoseph so you from what I gather by reading your comment is that rachmaninoff himself made a version of somewhere over the rainbow or is just the fact that this was taken from his b flat sonata and his piano concerto number 3
Excellent pianism. You display in this and the Kapustin pieces a wonderful mastery of capturing and communicating the thoughts and emotions as well as grasping the technical difficulties (having read through this piece several times, I know that it is not without difficulty). The 'hidden' melody, a favorite technique of Rachmaninoff's, is brought to the forefront here quite well. Jonathan Edward Mann's website indicates that it was indeed arranged by Rachmaninoff and edited by Mann.
You're a very musical pianist, bravo! Nice to hear this after the mostly technical brilliance of the Kapustin etudes. I'm not so sure whether I like this Rachmaninov medley though....hopefully nobody calls himself the composer of this piece, because it would be plagiarism ;).
By the way, why do you cross your legs? I think your playing becomes even more 'grounded' and solid if you don't. And on stage it would look a bit silly. But otherwise: bravo! Tell us who you are if you want to..,
