What a wonderful and inspiring performance. I never knew Arnold wrote such a witty and humorous piece. This will definitely be put into my "Life goals" list.
Thank you, Angelo, for the recordings of all three these movements! I have only ever heard Mr Stephenson's work on our local radio stations and nobody knows where to find recordings. It has been a search of nearly ten years now, and finally I've found YOUR beautiful renditions. Thank you a thousand times!
Angelo, muchas felicidades. De todas las versiones que he escuchado esta es la mejor versión de esta pieza. En dos semanas tocare un recital y espero poder imitarte. Saludos desde Mississippi USA.
I love this composition (1,2 and 3), it is so relaxing. Second movement for me is early morning, the sun not yet over the horizon behind me and a full but dimming moon in the sky before me. Peace.
