dannylux - Sergei Bortkiewicz Prelude in F# Major 33/7: Message Board

dannylux's Comments

Listening to the music of Sergei Bortkiewicz (1877-1952), so filled with Romanticism and love, one would assume he had an easy life. The truth is he had many difficulties, including being in the middle of a Revolution in Russia, World War I in Berlin, and World War II in Vienna. We are lucky any of his music survived the wars.

Of his "playable" pieces, the Op.33 No.7 Prelude in F# Major is my favorite. (By playable, I mean playable by a person of average talent.)

Rachfan	2010-08-21 16:13:51	Hi Mel, This piece is an ultra-romantic waltz, and you play it stylishly. I've also recorded it, so know the challenges. This is a fine performance! David
Rachfan	2010-08-21 16:11:56	Hi Mel, You played a very thoughtful and beautiful rendition of this prelude. I've recorded most of Op. 33, so know this music well. I always think of No. 7 as an operatic aria. Very nice! David
Carey	2010-08-20 22:22:21	Well done, Mel !!
Mike	2010-08-20 09:27:35	Simply gorgeous!
