Howell's "Elegy" was composed as a personal tribute to his friend and fellow viola student who died in the battlefields during the First World War.(such a masterpiece).We thank you Herbert.
Many thanks for the background of the music.. I still thrive on Herbert's, "Music for a Prince". Written for the birth of the Prince of Wales... Peace out.
I really like how the lower notes on her viola do not sound boxy. They sound deep and real. She has a very lyrical, singing voice that is admirable. Brava.
I often come to this recording for inspiration in my own viola playing. I'm still fairly new to the instrument. But it's pieces like this that had me develop a love for this instrument! I also love how much emotion you show when you play. Not that I blame you this piece makes me feel emotional just listening to it. It's almost an absolute necessity that this piece be played with emotion, otherwise it's not going to sound nearly the same.
ANA ALVES HAS A LIGHT TOUCH AND LACKS STRENGTH IN HER ARM BUT MANAGES TO PRODUCE A VERY MELODIC SOUND FROM THE VIOLA. HER FORTE IS PRODUCTION OF A SMOOTH SINGING SOUND.
@@towardthesea_ And so? Irrespective of which composer came first, it is still correct to say that the piece sounds like Hovhaness, and vice versa, of course.
The maker is Matthew Hardie. It's part of the Royal College of Music's collection of instruments. I don't play on it anymore so I can't say the year for sure but somewhere between 1755-1826.

Sad, melancholy, gloomy ... as life is sometimes, but I can only say ... beautiful!🥀
Beautiful piece. I love the sound of the viola. The soloist and the orchetra were amazing.

Gorgeous sensational.....BRAVI TUTTI from Acapulco!
I have subscribed to Ana Teresa! ❤
It's like Hahn had a sister who plays viola! Terrific performance. I hadn't heard the work before thanks for the beautiful introduction
Lovely Howells harmonies, so expressive. The viola tone is so rich. Thank you for posting. I agree, the organ is impressive, looks wonderful.
A dark but sublime piece, beautifully performed, beautifully recorded. Thank you.
If we could ever hear the grief and pain in someone's heart, I'm sure it would sound like this poignant piece of music.
Que lindo ,a forma como toca a Viola é inspirador👏👏 ,e quando a orquestra chega abraça o som,um espetáculo 🍃🍃
Bellissimo suono !!!!! Bellissima opera🎉❤
What a beautiful piece! And I'm glad the new organ gets a viewing!
Wonderful performance. Thank you!
Parabéns! Bravo!
New and wonderful composition, and first performance, for me. Thank you Miss. Alves, beautiful playing.

Fantástica interpretação. É de uma beleza tão rara que a sua profundidade toca a nossa alma. Parabéns, Ana!
truly a beautiful piece.
Very nice composition and playing
Very sad. How can you interrupt this music with a really awful commercial? At 2:57!
Haunting 🧡
😮😮
Absolutely amazing
That is one beautiful sounding viola. Piece sounds a lot like Allan Hovhaness.
Sounds a lot like Vaughan Williams...
Howells predated Hovhaness by quite a while

If you don't mind my asking, What is the name of the maker of the viola that you play, and the year in which the instrument was made?
Thanks.
The maker is Matthew Hardie. It's part of the Royal College of Music's collection of instruments. I don't play on it anymore so I can't say the year for sure but somewhere between 1755-1826.
I came to see people roasting the Viola, where's the TwoSetViolin gang?
Draco Malfoy play violin?
