Virginie Gagné & Sarah Ho | Amy Beach - Romance for Violin and Piano, Op. 23

[@globglobglobglobglob]

This is the best version of this piece that I have ever heard. Motion of push and pull in the right places, lingering feelings and emotions all throughout the music, and such a well-structured well thought of approach.

I really enjoy listening to this performance. I am weeping. I appreciate the quality of the sound, especially of the piano, which is often softer on recordings of this piece, and also the camera work on both the violinist and pianist. Here the piano plays a more prominent role than often the case in accompaniments; there is a constant interplay and dialogue between the instruments. This is similar to the songs of Hugo Wolf, and I wonder if Amy Beach might have been influenced by these works in the composition of this song. The repeating chords in the high register of the piano is similar to the ending of Wolf's song An Die Geliebte. I like the buildup starting at 4:30 to the climax of the high note, where the piano after pushing the tempo forward, slows down at this point. This piece, if one can get through the crying, rewards repeated listenings. Is this piece a masterpiece? I think so.

Incredible, easily the best violinist in the Edmonton Symphony, a natural concertmaster

哇 ! 雖然不似有些版本那樣講究音樂性上的優美,但若本曲有在描寫日落黃昏景緻,那麼這個詮釋感覺精確多了 ! 每個段落的強弱變化(能由強變弱 ! )與銜接非常合乎邏輯 !

It appears that the two parts were recorded separately, the piano first, then the violin, as the violinist has an earpiece in her ear.

[@mbee316]

Yes, recorded separately during the very start of Covid lockdown!
