Very nice performance and explanation! I feel inspired to learn this piece now! Thanks 😃

[@Mezzotenor]

Quite charming, both as to the music and your commentary. May I also put in a good word for the concert venue's lighting designer?

[@alfredbooth6854]

Wonderfully colorful performance! Are your “program notes” an explanation of your musical tale the score or are they the composer’s?

Totally dumb music, played with ridiculously light tone quality. It's a sign of bad taste.

Rocking the harp back and forth is not expressive, it is dangerous, a lack of control. It can easily fall over backwards or even forwards, and I've seen this happen. The harpist can move back and forth, but the instrument should be still. Pearl Chertok, the composer, was a mediocre harpist in New York City, who was expelled from the Curtis Institute of Music.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@nonenoneonenonenoneobviously somebody isnt a harpist. the harp is going to move as you do, since it quite literally is on your shoulder. harps dont just “fall” from moving while you play, because again, it is leaning on you. please look inward before you comment about somebody else’s performance. his work his beautiful.
