Rhapsody in Blue for 4 hands, 2 pianos (part 1 of 2)

George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue for 4 hands, 2 pianos, shot October 2002. The piano sounds come from two half-rack piano modules: for the "orchestra" part, Generalmusic's RealPiano Expander, and for the "piano" part, Oberheim's MiniGrand. I'm playing both parts, edited on a Pentium III with Sonic Foundry's Vegas 2.0. (Those were the good ol' days.) Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it! This is part 1 of 2. For an unsplit version, see the video at Vimeo. http://vimeo.com/9514409

This is the best piano version (with a clear sound) I've heard on YT. But that digital piano sounds like a Bontempi. Please record it on a real piano.

It's the Family Guy playing four hands with himself! This is so incredible, he's so amazingly talented. It's a shame he's stuck on the crappy Roland. Excellently edited, though. A real treat.

This is fabulous. A flawless performance and very well made. I never could find anyone who played this song so well on two pianos. That Roland sounds "GRAND"

Pun intended!!
