Rachmaninov plays his famous prelude. Recorded in 1919 on Ampico system. Ampico was the most advanced version of piano roll's systems which contained also track with recorded dynamics in hexadecimal code. In 90's it was transfered to PC and reproduced by Boesendorfer 290SE piano. You can see that piano here on my previous post http://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=k-rqOJDo0 -8

Rachmaninov was of course the brilliant virtuoso we all know, but as a genious composer he has as well his place in the standard classical repertoire. Here we hear him play the adagio sostenuto from his second piano concerto. This unique recording with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra directed by Leopold Stokowski was made for RCA in 1929.
