Chopin Ballade Intro: by Canadian Pianist Alexandre Vovan
Scriabin Etude: by Canadian Pianist Alexandre Vovan
Rachmaninov Prelude Intro: by Canadian Pianist Alexandre Vovan.
Highly acclaimed Canadian pianist Alexandre Vovan, has finally found the ideal concert grand piano for his digital recordings! For our demonstration songs, he has chosen Mozart's famous Fantasy in D Minor and Bach's Prelude in C Minor. Known by practically all classical pianists, these pieces require quite a diversity of play and a wide dynamic range. Their familiarity make them ideal reference pieces for critical listening and comparison.
