Raoul Koczalski (1884-1948), Polish pianist and composer, pupil of Karol Mikuli, Chopin's favorite Polish student, in a performance of the first movement of Chopin's Concerto No 1. He's playing his own arrangement of the orchestral passages.
I rendered it to mp3 from the midi format of the piano roll housed at the Stanford University Piano Roll Archive, using the 1922 Erard.
I find his performance both lyrical and exciting!

Wow! There are so many wonderful parts in this music, 6,34 - 8,10 9,26…….This music and Erard together is soo good, have to listen to this in loop You know I like Erard too.
And thank you for uploading and for everything you do. Someone said ”Appreciate those Around You on Life’s Journeys”. So, I want you to know, it is nice to have you in this forum. Thank you, Robert.

Several of your renderings appear at this part of Modartt user forum. Originally, I had considered perhaps your point was to announce immediate availability of any piano rolls housed at the Stanford University Piano Roll Archive and just about that you like to make an announcement or have a demonstration.
Now I am wondering if indeed the recordings like this one at this section would better suit Recordings Featuring Pianoteq and Organteq.

Hi Stig!
That's so kind of you say. Appreciate that. I agree, there are some wonderful moments throughout and I hear different ones each time I listen.
So pleased you're enjoying this one, too.
I appreciate you as well on this Life's Journey!
Best wishes,
Robert

Good point. I post them in this forum because they are not performances by me. My view of the other forum is that it is for users who are themselves playing. I post these piano roll renderings only because I hope others will enjoy hearing great pianists of the past like I do, not to sell them or to announce anything and to show how the Erard sounds with my modifications.
If the moderators want me to stop I will.
I missed this before - wow!
I absolutely love it, sincerely - Thank you so much Robert, hope you're enjoying making more of these wonders - that's what I care about most.
This sounds so much like a delicious old recording - really shows Pianoteq's amazing ability to turn these actual performances from times gone by, into stunning living performances for us today.
Again, like your others, this is so much like listening to a real recording by the artist who probably played this long before recording to this standard was possible.
That's worth the price of admission here
Cheers - hope you're enjoying making the most of this excellent technique you're developing - please keep your joyful work going
.
BTW - No harm to post these to the main forum Robert IMO.
Please don't be put off. You said it best and I agree with your paragraph on that topic.

That's high praise indeed, Qexl! Thank you. I appreciate all your encouragement. I do plan to continue with my project of rendering these performances. I post them on my website, too, and on my YouTube channel here:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy_RvB...w/featured
I created the channel so that all of them are easy to find in one place.
I agree, Pianoteq brings these performances to life and allows us to enjoy them and learn from these early masters. So pleased you're enjoying them.
Thanks again for all your kind remarks!
Cheers,
Robert
