A New Camera!

I've finally bought a new camera! I have heard many complaints on my videos about the poor sound quality of my old camera, the Pentax Optio S6, and whilst on holiday in Australia over the summer, it broke. Since then I bought a Canon IXUS 80IS, and today I tested it for the first time with my piano playing. As you can hear, the results are a vast improvement on before, so for your listening delight, here is a small compilation of extracts to demonstrate my repertoire, and the recording quality of the camera.

Extracts from:

The last one is concerning the hobbits

[cjwilkie]

@lomtura that 'bit' though is from the suite "The Return of the King". At the end of it is when Sam marries Rosie, and that's what that music reflects!

What is it at 0:50 ???

Is it Starlight Express or the Phantom of the Opera?

[cjwilkie]

@etissan says in the description - Phantom

[PotterCullenPhangirl]

Really much better; does your playing justice. Please upload the full version of Clair de Lune :) - the excerpt you played was gorgeous. I really like your feel for music in general.

[cjwilkie]

Clair de Lune *will* be next, but I'm at university at the moment and having trouble accessing pianos! I'm working on it though.
