Vladimir Horowitz - Hexameron by Franz Liszt (1of 2)

Vladimir Horowitz - Hexameron by Franz Liszt (1 of 2) Introduction: Extremement lent (Liszt) Tema: Allegro marziale (transcribed by Liszt) Variation I: Ben marcato (Thalberg) Variation II: Moderato (Liszt) Variation III: di bravura (Pixis) - Ritornello (Liszt) Hexaméron, Morceau de concert, S.392, is a set of six variations for solo piano elaborately composed by Franz Liszt et al. in 1837. It consists of a statement of and variations on the theme "March of the Puritans" from Bellini's opera I Puritani, together with connecting interludes and a finale. A number of popular composers-performers of the day contributed to the piece, which was commissioned by Princess Belgiojoso: Franz Liszt, Frederic Chopin, Sigismond Thalberg, Henri Herz, Carl Czerny and Johann Peter Pixis. It is possible that the number of composers chosen was deliberate, as the title hexameron also bears the meaning of the six (hex-) days of creation, and there are six composers who contributed to the piece. Liszt ordered the pieces, composed the connecting matter, and is considered to have integrated the piece into an artistic unity. The Hexameron is divided into nine parts

Miley Cyrus - The Climb (Classical Piano Mix - by Trinity feat. Pianist Cherie)

It took me about 8 months to produced this classical piano version. I had the idea to re-arrange the song since July, finding the pianist that believe my idea, and fit my limited time on recording the piano track. First, I need add a click track from Trinity's vocal from her first recording and then get the pianist to record a dummy piano version. After many days of refinement, I record the piano tracks. I set 3 microphones to record the piano from Cherie's Grand Piano. Next, I bring the piano tracks back to the studio to record Trinity's vocal. And then I did the mixing and master with the other producer, Shiery. On the video, honestly, this is not a very good video production. On the filming day, there are lots of limitation on the place, time and people. First, this is the only place i can find that is spacious and clean with high ceiling. However, due to some reason, I can only have a very limit of hours for the filiming. Second, due to the location limitation, I can not bring my full team with all our equipment for filming.
