I haven’t posted any more piano pieces I’ve recorded for a while now, so I think it’s time for some more. I’ve been putting together a CD to give to people at Christmas, so here’s the track listing:

CD 1 - ‘Relaxing’

  Title Artist Album
1 Canzone Popolare Ludovico Einaudi Le Onde
2 Le Onde Ludovico Einaudi Le Onde

13 The Promise Michael Nyman The Piano OST

I’ve played the piano for years and years now, but recently I’ve started recording things I’ve played. Occasionally these are things which aren’t quite perfect yet but it does make for interesting listening to see the progress over the months.

Michael Nyman - The Promise (from the film The Piano)

May 2004
September 2004
15th October 2004
20th October 2004

It’s getting to the stage where I can play it, but it’s just whether I can play it all in one go. Still not quite perfect yet, but pretty close. For the last one I had the [digital] piano on its piano & strings setting - just typical that the good version was using that.

Amelie Soundtrack

Comptine D’ete #2
La Dispute

Ludovico Einaudi

I Giorni

Just the first part of this, and I always screw it up when i have to turn the page - need to memorise it.
