I'm a Gottschalk fanatic, and this is the best live performance of The Banjo I have seen. Great care shown in bringing out the syncopation and secondary themes. Amazing control.
Because of this I was motivated to get her Gottschalk CD (which is my 14th Gottschalk abum). I strongly recommend it. Most other players are trapped in same old, same old. This CD shows a careful working through the scores and results in some really nice interpretations that are innovative but (having them) are in good accord with the scores. Excellent technique throughout.
Favorite performance of this great piece!! Wow!
Thanks Michaelyannette!

Thank you very much Norman!
For my money, this is the definitive interpretation of this piece, the one by which all others are measured.
Thank you very much Lawrence!
Once you’ve heard this….its really hard to listen to any other recording…..GORGEOUS interpretation and playing!!❤️❤️
Wow, thank you Johan!
the clarity in the voicing is excellent
Thanks Evan!
The other UA-cam performances of this pale to this amazing and sensitive rendition!!!
Incredible performance! Had to immediately share on my Facebook page. Yay! RagJazzMonkey Tom ❤😅
Awesome! Thank you!
Such a jaunty and joyous reading! So much better than the pounded versions of this piece that one usually hears.
Brilliant performance! Brings out all the little nuances, accents, etc
This is the kind of performance that no matter what you play, makes you want to go practice
Fantastic !
Many thanks!

She nails it at 2:54. Few performers get the emphasis right at that part.
Great!!!!!
