I am excited to share with you an astounding video recording of Jerome Rose's recent performance of Rachmaninov's Second Piano Sonata in B-flat minor, Op. 36. Jerome Rose, a renowned pianist, teacher, and the founder of the International Keyboard Institute and Festival in New York City, is well known for his interpretation of the romantic period piano literature, and his performance of Rachmaninov's masterpiece is no exception.

Mr. Rose was generous enough to post the entire performance on YouTube, which I highly recommend you watch. If you're interested, you can find a detailed review of the performance on the Classical Music Daily website.

In the introduction to the recording, Mr. Rose provides interesting insights into the composition's history, stating that Rachmaninov began the work in Rome in 1911 and revised it extensively in 1931. He describes the piece as a mature work, written at the height of Rachmaninov's powers, filled with imagination, harmonic development, thematic development, motivic development, and counterpoint. He regards it as one of Rachmaninov's greatest pieces and is proud to perform it during the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth.

To faithfully capture Mr. Rose's interpretation of the music, I used three cameras and a pair of studio-quality microphones, ensuring that the recording truly does justice to the performance.

Thank you for taking the time to read about this exceptional performance, and I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Before the COVID pandemic, the use of live streaming services for live performances in venues was more limited because performers and venues preferred to focus on in-person events. In addition, the upstream internet connection in those venues was slow, not dependable, and required using costly streaming web services.

However, with the pandemic causing widespread cancellations of in-person events, performers and venues had to quickly adapt to the new reality of live streaming to continue reaching audiences. This has led the venues to increase their internet speed and reliability and look for videographers who could provide streaming services for their artists.

With live streaming, your performance can reach a wider audience than ever before. Friends, family members, and fans who cannot attend your performance in person can now tune in from anywhere in the world. Plus, you will have a recording of your performance that you can keep and share with others.

The best part? Adding live streaming to your filming package is easy and affordable. For just a low fee, I can set up a high-quality live stream that will showcase your performance to the world. All you have to do is let me know you are interested, and I will take care of the rest.
