Hi Tubaman
caught some of your recital stream - well done.
How did you feel it went?

[tubaman316]

Listening to the recording and watching the video is very different than the feeling that I came away with after the recital that afternoon. I enjoyed it much more than many of my earlier recordings. The constant growth of the musician is most interesting to me. There were mistakes in the playing but I didn't seem to get caught up in them. The Dichterleibe set was my best played, I think and the most technically easy. I read them straight out of the vocal book. Thank you for your kind words.

Hi Andrew,

I thought your programme had a very good balance - and I agree, your lyrical playing is a real strong point so it is always a good idea to emphasise this point in future recitals.

I think that it's good for a performer to take a recording apart and to be able to learn from the experience - you yourself (and your tutor of course) will know better than anyone else as to which aspects, technical and musical, you need to tweak and hone.

Having said that, in regard to my recordings, in practice I tend to record myself and 'adjudicate' my performance of the pieces I am going to put on a CD many times before the actual session. After the recording session it takes me quite a long time (several days!) to pluck up courage to listen to the first edits (I am very self critical) and when the final pressing comes along I will listen to it once and then give the CD away! - I will probably never hear the recording again!

In a live performance any glitches seem like major events - but these rarely register to the audience - the thing is how you proceed after the glitch - the discipline of staying focused.

In my recitals I often play straight from a vocal sheet (or whatever - violin, sax etc.) - it's a great way to increase and enhance your repertoire.

Anyway, I enjoyed your presentation - good luck - and keep up the good work.
