Topic: Vladimir Rebikov – A Summer Evening | Shigeru Kawai SK-EX Warm

For this performance I used Pianoteq 9 Pro with the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX Warm preset, slightly modified for the piece. In Logic Pro, I also used Clariphonic DSP MKII and Altiverb with the James Cavalier Theatre acoustic.

Hello FrancoPianoStudio and a very warm welcome to this recordings forum.

And thank you Franco for sharing this beautiful Valse and well performed.  I like especially the ending with your crescendo forte. Well done.You have wonderful expressive variations in volume, tone that you use to bring the music to life. Especially ending fr about 3,20 - with crescendo ritardando and slow soft last tones.  Beautiful!
You are a pianist!
(I’m just an amateur but playing every day, nearing 80, but love music and uploading here almost every week, my hardest work might be Bach BWV  565 Toccata)

I did not know about this composer Rebikov. Always interesting to learn about composers.

Best wishes and greetings from Finland

Stig

Dear Stig,

Thank you very much for your warm welcome and for taking the time to listen so attentively. I especially appreciate your comments about the ending and the changes in dynamics and tone. It is always wonderful when someone notices these musical details.

Rebikov is indeed a fascinating and rather neglected composer, and I’m very happy that this little waltz introduced you to his music.

And how wonderful that you are still playing the piano every day and sharing your music at nearly 80. I will certainly have a look at your recordings.

Warm greetings from Belgium to Finland,
Franco

What a delicate and evocative interpretation Franco! The warmth of the piano tone combined with the subtle room acoustics creates such a nostalgic, dreamlike atmosphere. The phrasing on this waltz is wonderfully fluid. Truly a pleasure to listen to!

Thank you very much, Carmelo! I’m really glad you enjoyed it. I was aiming for that warm, slightly nostalgic atmosphere, so it’s lovely to hear that it came across that way. And thank you especially for your kind words about the phrasing. Much appreciated!
