Answering my own question, Soundcloud has a Download button (just downloaded Hreichgott's Rachmaninoff)...is that OK?

Soundcloud will work. The download button is something you as the uploader have to enable. I don't think it's on by default.

Polyphonist, are you volunteering to convert youtube to mp3? hats off, if so.

Submissions can be pm'd to me. Or there is a gmail that I created in order to make the soundcloud account, pwconcertprogram@gmail.com. You can email files there.

No, my contributions will be in mp3 format already - I was just pointing out that to convert is possible.

I've sent in my recordings.

I also have submissions in from doctor s and Tim Adrianson!

Good - only five to go, and the recital will be airing on Friday, if I'm correct.

I'm trying to record the Rachmaninoff. I wish I could splice sections together!

It wouldn't be as good as it will be hearing it done straight through, 'mistakes' and all!

A continuous performance tells a story. A splice tells.....a splice.

Good point - its done, after listening I feel it needs to go faster. Oh well.

Well, there will almost definitely be some cut and pasting to fix mistakes in my recordings.

The deadline has passed! Have all the recordings been submitted?

I've received recordings from Vid and Polyphonist.

We still need recordings from Pover, FSO, MikeN and ec.
I don't mind if people take a few more hours to get them to me, but I am planning to put the concert together tonight, and I really hope to have all the materials by then.

Don't worry about receiving any material from me. I'm withdrawing.

In every recital, there will be a hit-and-run poster like this one who claims space in the recital and then weasels out at the last minute. And half of the participants are now eight hours late in submitting recordings for a recital in which they had two months to prepare. Disappointing.

FSO's recordings are in.
ec has had to withdraw due to an ironic lack of piano access at piano camp.
No word from Pover yet.

Oh, too bad MikeN. Will miss hearing you.

I'm surprised that you seem to think the last-minute dropouts acceptable; also, you are under no obligation to delay the recital due to late submissions. Compile it tonight, and whoever has missed the deadline will need to post their performances separately.

C'mon, have a heart!

Look: They hoped, and they tried. You want people not to hope, or try? Not everybody can necessarily learn or play like you do!!

They should know what they can do, and be sure that they will be able to meet any deadline which they have committed to meet. To enter a recital like this on a whim and then back out is an immature thing to do, and rude to the organizer of the recital.

Well it's not like I can come over to their houses and demand that they play the piano And life happens, and this isn't a paid gig or anything; it is a for-fun project. We don't always know the reasons for everything nor can we blame people. who would have thought ec wouldn't be able to get to a piano today? and Pover lives in Jordan which is near two civil wars at the moment?

It's disappointing for sure, and I feel badly for those who didn't get to play because a spot was taken by someone who then ended up not playing at the last minute. I hope that next time performers will be more realistic about what they can play and record in the time available. Especially since there was so much choice in what to perform.
