Yo,

Sorry I’ve been away for a while…shit hittin’ fan and dealing w/some heavy sheeyat. But ‘nuff o’ dat…

I have a local (Mexico City) broadcast live rec of Da DOC playing Brahms2. The only prob is that starting at a volume considered forte (worse w/piano or marcato from orch) the sound starts distorting. This was a problem at the source; nothing I could do about it, unfortunately.

I kept it because I had already digitized it. If there are DOC fans that want this anyway, I’d be happy to make the vids avail, but if ppl only want HQ audio or nothing, I won’t waste the time encoding/uploading. Let me know.

(P.S. My personal opinion is that the performance was uninspired, but not having heard DOC play this (have way too many B2’s as it is), I can’t tell if it wasn’t his best day or what. DOC fans would need to weigh in) :doc:

9

I am afraid of what aforementioned…is audio bootleg not video…sorry if i made you feel bad though…
but i will try to hook you up with that 8)

10

I have audio of DOC ROCK3 from a Jan 2004 performance in Tokyo w/Tokyo Phil. I don’t know if this came from a direct bootleg or a radio broadcast thereafter…I honestly don’t remember how I came about it, but it was w/in a year after the performance.

Is this a well-shared :doc: :rock: or should I include it w/the Brahms vids?

11

i have the rach from:
Live in Tokyo, 21.1.2004
Live in Auckland, some time 2005
anyone want either?
im seriously excited about he brahms!

12

No…

I’m sure I’m not alone in believing that those are two of the worst Rachmaninoff thirds out there.

13

certainly nothing special (the toyko haven’t heard the other one). Randomly disappointing :doc:

14

yeah, even i will say that hamelin doesnt play a good rach 3. its not the worst though. ive heard much worse.

15

lyk hu? in b4 helfgott. i fukken luv da doc but dat must b da worst Rocky III evah recorded

16

helfgott is much worse than that. ive also heard some student performances that are much worse than it, but that is to be expected.

17

in my opinion, its not that it’s bad but that it’s boring. he doesn’t do anything we’ve not heard before. except perhaps, as i stated in another thread i think, the zippy bit after the 1st movt cadenza which is pretty cool…

18

Sorry for the delay, Christmas/family stuff and all…

Enjoy!

(remember: 1) distortion, 2) IMO uninspired playing, though his huge-ass alien-sized paws are amazing to watch)

:doc:

19

i cannot let you know how thankful i am. I will let you know how “inspired” it is when ive finished watching. thanks again so much.

Yeah, ive not watched them all but i agree that it sounds pretty uninspired. he just seems to be playing for the sake of it. maybe he had a disagreement with the conductor. he seems to want to rush ahead all of the time…
the first movt. didnt work for me. is it me or does it not play in anything (vlc, media etc.) and it’s my favourite movt!
Thanks

ps. the 1st mvmt isn’t working for me either.
