Lara St. John & Ilan Rechtman perform Rechtman's 'Variations on Dark Eyes' Live at Skywalker Sound

Lara St. John & Ilan Rechtman perform Rechtman's 'Variations on Dark Eyes' Live at Skywalker Sound for the Well-Tempered Productions recording 'Gypsy' produced by Kathy Geisler. Videography by Bob Cowart. This is an excerpt of the work that was used in the 2008 Beijing Olympics by gold medal winning gymnast Nastia Liukin, who used an excerpt of the work as her floor routine music. The complete song is from the album 'Gypsy." The sheet music for this work, which is by Ilan Rechtman, is also now available for the first time. www.welltempered.com

I bought the "Gypsy" CD years ago, and I love it. The sound recording on the CD is much better than this video - more "presence" or something. But watching the performance is way fine, too. -J:

yes, the video is just a little hand held machine, and that is what the sound is from. Of course, when we recorded this at Skywalker Sound, we did so with the very best of everything, so I'm glad you notice the difference! --kg
