When Memory Fades - Eric Nelson

This elegant setting of Mary Louise Bringle's text captures the experience of caring for a family member with dementia and the love that can be shared even as "memory fades."

Beautiful singing from all! Bravi!

Very good rendition. I especially appreciate the subtitles. I’ve shared other versions of this piece, only to have the recipient ask me for the text. This will be the version I share in the future.

My only critique is of the pianist who is not playing notes together that are written as such in the introduction. It's not the pianist's option to "roll" notes that are supposed to be played together! The conductor should have caught that and nipped it in the bud from the very beginning of rehearsals of this piece.

Actually the pianist carries his sloppy habit thoroughout the piece except for the short section that is sung acapella.

Too pedantic a performance of this piece. Clear articulation.
