UPDATE: I just tried the "Direct MP3 download link" at http://www.yourclassical.org/story/2...o-no-1-romanza, again, and was able to download the file this time. It appears that whatever problem that YourClassical or their source had has now been resolved.

I usually can listen to an entire free piece while I'm writing up my posts, but this piece is nearly 12 minutes long and I didn't have much to write in this update, so I haven't listened to all of it. But, it sounds fine so far. It is one for the piano-lover, however.

This rendition is performed by Slovak State Philharmonic Orchestra, along with Idil Biret on the piano. Robert Stankovsky is the conductor.

It is 11 minutes, 43 seconds in length. It comes from a Naxos album, Chill with Chopin.

Find out more about the entire album on this Naxos webpage. Unfortunately, Naxos' webpage for reviews for the album has a message that says "there are currently no reviews for this album." That's odd, since the physical release of the album was over 13 years ago. Oh, well, I'll try on the album for tomorrow's freebie.

And, unfortunately, clicking on the "Direct MP3 link" on the webpage for today's free piece has been giving me a "Page not found" error (FYI--The direct link is http://http://download.publicradio.o...016111_128.mp3). YourClassical has been extremely reliable in the 5 or 6 months that I've been posting their free pieces, so I suggest that you check back there later today to see if they've corrected the problem. If it is still not functioning by the end of the day, I suggest that you check the archives here tomorrow and see if it shows up.

The problem could be because of Halloween, and ghosts, goblins, ghouls, etc. having attacked the system. Yes, I know that Halloween's over here, and most everywhere else on the globe, but there may be a slice out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, before the International Date Line, where it is still Monday. ha
