Schubert's Ave Maria at the railway-station in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. TAKE 3 and 4.

The piano is in front. The singer comes, with the travellers, slowly towards the piano.
The noise of working people around is a part of life recording. The noise in this take was to much.

The video that needed to be shot had to be right in 1 shot. When you have to record sound at a train station it's not easy, but it worked out that day. These are two of the many takes.

All takes this morning

TAKE 1, more clean one: https://freesound.org/people/klankbeeld/sounds/323069/

This was a very special performance of the famous Dutch vocalist Pien van Gerven and her Spanish piano player Raquel Garzás García-Pliego, educated.

This is a part of the project “Buiten spelen” (playing outdoors) in the Netherlands.
Pianos are placed in the public domain. Everyone can play if he or she wants to.
The railway-station gives a great ambiance.
