Yes indeed! We pressured through during the rehearsals the days before since it was simply too easy to be overpowered in that beautiful hall. So while I was shredding the concerto for about six hours in two days before the first performance, the inevitable happened.
@@hartobanuharp oh.... so sorry... and right before your concerto too...every December after the nutcrackers and 6 church services my right thumb is trashed also....every year.... you play beautifully...I really enjoy your videos
I’m playing the third movement of Zabel’s Concerto in C minor with my orchestra! So cool to hear/see another recording of it when there’s not many available. Thank you!
This concerto is one of the most beautiful and difficult harp concertos ever and you played it with an amazing technique specially the allegro con brio. your bright and resonating tone was so fantastic and magical. wish you the best !❤
No performance is as interesting and intriguing and captivating as his wonderful harp performance My emotion is unfathomable depths The beauty of his performance is irreplaceable FromTokyo
Your techniques are amazing! Meanwhile I am still working on the big chords and adjust my hands to reduce buzzings, damn I hope one day I can get to your speed without any noise that page. Anyways, thats a really nice interpretation!
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to see this recording still attracts some listeners and seems to inspire them! One tip from Isabelle Moretti: "To avoid buzzes you have to learn to listen first." Every change of position, speed, preparation or imagination will affect noises. Work with your ears in the same way you work with your fingers. That way you will learn to avoid noises even before they happen. At the same time: don't be too stressed out about them. Relax and let the harp sing. And ask it politely when to fall back into the strings. It will happily show it to you.
@@hartobanuharp Thank you so much for the tip! Quarantine will be a very good time for me to practise too ;) Time to have some intense workout on my fingers haha, have a nice harpy day!
That's wonderful! I'm glad you liked it! You can find older recordings of mine on my channel as well but I'm surely going to upload more in the future!
I am so glad you are making videos again! I love your new harp - very full sound with a lively middle and strong treble. Congratulations. NO ONE can play this piece!!!! EXCEPT YOU! The ornaments are clean and clear (with no buzzing!). The best was the middle movement. You bring such energy, passion and depth to that lovely and delicate movement. Makes me weep.
Wonderful setting, played with such immense feeling, took me back to the 18th century. I do believe Bach would've been proud. Welcome back, OEL! You were greatly missed.
