Aeolian Pipe Organ plays Rachmaninoff Prelude in C# Minor

Rachmaninoff's famous Prelude rose to popularity during the era of player pianos. One can hear the composer playing this composition on The Ampico. The Aeolian Company first issued this pipe organ roll on the non-automatic 116-note roll in 1909, and later offered this Duo Art version, with no performer listed. This performance via MIDI scanned from an original roll, 3319.

What software are you using? It’s obviously on a Mac.

[@ampicoab]

It is either the very old MasterTracks Pro or Metro SE. I use both.

Do you have some that includes the greatest waltz like Vienna Blood, the Emperor Waltz, the Blue Danube, including the tales from Vienna Wood?

Astonishing! What a phenomenally nuanced and delicate sound.
