Thank you. I sometimes think it's a little much in places, but I get a lot of compliments on it. (I wish the Sibelius set weren't so distorted, but we're working on that part for future vids.) F-
Thank you Elaine. I read that Philip Ramey once told Copland he considered Howard Hanson an "American Sibelius". Copland responded, "You flatter Hanson". -f
I dont know the piece too much, Im playing it right now by the very knowledge I know about Sibelius. In anycase Ill keep your comment in mind and try otther ways.
Yes it's symboling a big spruce standing in the Finnish wildernes at winter time (for what I have unterstood). I like this song also a bit more soft and slower. But this is stil good playing. I couldn't play better.
I would have liked this steady-handed performance very much, if not for being unnecessarily robust and rhythmically a bit wobbly, with a feeling of haste and impatience. On the other hand it calms nicely down in the end and the final chord is the longest I've ever heard (and I've heard a lot) :-) A somewhat more sensitive touch would have been an advantage for the overall atmosphere.
Well, that was just my impression about the subject of the piece. Not the music of Sibelius. I feel that this spruce ought to be rather a monumental figure in a Nordic forest, than a larch or a Christmas tree.
@FrankenBosey Played this a couple of years ago...forgot how good it sounded. Of course, I played it like an amateur compared to that. Great dynamics, expression, everything!
It's a long while since I listened to this. It strikes me as being as beautiful as ever. E
I like it more soft but its nice for the ear to hear it on that great piano.
He was a composer, a contemporary of Copland, Piston, Britten and others active during the first half of the 20th century.
Very nice...enjoyed!
Thanks for the comment and good luck on your performance.

@Mary64745642 Thank you good lady.
Well, have you ever tried jumping on a spruce naked? I don't think "spruce" is soft.
