| Nikolas | 2011-09-27 03:37:44 | Well Jeffrey, This is a real treat! And to think that I don't really fancy R. Strauss's music all that much, but this is certainly an exception! |
| Carey | 2011-08-30 16:09:48 | Beautiful (and mature) playing Jeffrey !!! You really understand Strauss !!! Bravo !! |
| wr | 2011-08-28 02:50:30 | Excellent and enjoyable! I thought I recognized the title and, sure enough, when I heard it, I remembered that one of them was in a collection I had as a kid. You played it much better than I ever did! |
| David | 2011-08-24 18:47:42 | Hi Jeffrey, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to all of these pieces which you played so well. And there is so much contrast among them. I believe that you have served the composer exceptionally well. Thanks for sharing this music with us! David |
| Inlanding | 2011-08-22 11:45:17 | An absolute treat. Beautiful melodies so beautifully played. Bravo! |
| Cinnamonbear | 2011-08-21 10:51:56 | Jeffrey, these are gorgeous! You have such an excellent feel for them! I find myself transported by your playing... I am having the same kind of "Oh my gosh!" moment that I did as when I heard the Liszt Ballade No. 2 that you posted earlier this year. Beautiful music! Wonderful performance! |
| Jeffrey Jones | 2011-08-21 09:49:23 | Julian, that doesn't surprise me, the name of the cycle was translated as "Moods and Fancies." :D |
| Julian (SlatterFan) | 2011-08-21 08:43:42 | Thanks -- lovely pieces and playing. I'll definitely learn these in the future. It seems that a few of the piece titles were slightly mistranslated by the publisher. I would translate them as: 1. Auf stillem Waldespfad = On a quiet forest path 2. An einsamer Quelle = By a solitary spring 5. Haidebild (Heidebild in modern spelling) = Moorland scene, or possibly pagan scene (to me the music evokes the latter) |
| Greg | 2011-08-20 13:38:30 | I just listened to the whole 15 minutes. You did a wonderful job! This is every bit the feast that your submission last year was. |
| Greg | 2011-08-20 13:21:02 | What a lovely suite! Almost Schumannesque, stories in pictures - and indeed that's what this is! Delightful, Jeffrey, absolutely delightful! :-) |
