This AI has reconstructed actual Rachmaninov playing his own piano piece

In 1919, Rachmaninov's performance of his own devilish Prelude in C minor was punched into piano roll for posterity. Now you can see him play it. In 1919, legendary Russian composer, Sergei Rachmaninov, recorded his own performance of his Prelude in C minor onto piano roll, so it could be preserved as a recording. The Prelude in question is a very difficult piece, and Rachmaninov was able to play its hardest passages up to speed, and with exhilarating energy. And now – as well as hearing the performance through the historic piano roll, you can now see the performance (watch above).
