The 'Lento' from the 'Six Studies' has long been one of my favorite RVW pieces. It becomes a dance between the two instruments with the cello handing to the piano the main theme midway, a lovely exchange and so beautifully balanced.

What a gem! I found it by searching on Vaughan Williams and cello. Delightful!

Great video man! I loved the table of contents included in the description. Keep up the good work!

Gorgeous. I've found a clarinet transcription which I am enjoying. This lovely playing has inspired me. Thankyou !

[@ewtam24]

Well done! Thank you for sharing this lovely performance!

I liked Larghetto "Van Dieman's Land" the best because apart from the little tuning glitches, I thought this had the best folk feeling. Some of the others had a certain "I’d rather be playing Brahms" quality about them.

[@deborahfortier448]

well done, beautiful ensemble playing.

[@nicholasborelli275]

Well done! I'm working on these pieces now and watching Mr. Moore's fingerings (as opposed to my own) has helped in my approach to this work. Thank you.

Beautiful. I almost don't even care that you stole it from the tuba. (that was a joke, great job.)

[@ezgdisco]

Actually, this piece has been transcribed for many instruments including the Tuba.

[@commontater8630]

@@ezgdisco Actually, BattleToads was joking about that very fact.

Great job both of you! I'm another guy named Waters, a guitarist.

Lovely playing. Beautiful sound and thank you for not moving the camera. What kind of cello is that? It looks like a large pattern.
