[discofacelift]

Hi jbagpussh,

Thanks for your compliment its very much appreciated.

I like playing that particular arrangement of Cavatina and the Yamaha EL-90T is a lovely instrument. I play another composition of this tune on my Yamaha PSR9000pro based around the arrangement of the Shadows guitar group; all though it sounds great I dont feel it has the same impact as this version, I play it completely solo with no after effects or sequencing, what you hear is what Im playing.

Regards

Phil.

[jbagpussh]

[wexoni]

This is awesome. It is clear... it is vivid... it has soul. Keep them coming. PLEASE.

THANK YOU

[DoubleGauss]

Very nice.

[minoverta]

Yeh great, I can see clearly every note you're playing of this beautifull number. Now i can learn to play that nummer too. Thanks!

[yth28]

I enjoy this piece tremendously. You really bring out the mood of the song in the way you play it on the electone. Great job!!

[tonysqqkq]

Phil;

That is absolutely beautiful! In this case, less is more. The simple arrangement is quite moving. And, yes, I have heard your arrangement of "Fly Me to the Moon". Supurbly done. I appreciate being able to watch your hands as they float over the keyboards. Absolutely magnificent! I suspect you could do wonders with a simple instrument such as a Hammond drawbar with a Leslie.

Thanks

Tony

[discofacelift]

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your compliment.

Your absolutely rite, less is some times more. I originally wanted to play a big orchestral arrangement of this tune but to my amazement the big orchestral sound didnt have the same impact, so I kept it very simple by using a Flute as the lead instrument with piano and bass harmony.

Im pleased you enjoyed my arrangement of Fly Me To The Moon too.

Regards

Phil

[Goldswain1]

Hi, You have a great touch, how about posting some more?

[discofacelift]

Hi Goldswain1,

Im glad you like my style of playing.

Thanks for asking; I will be uploading some more tunes played on my Yamaha EL-90T in the very near future.

Regards

Phil

[daquagaars]

Really great performance, very expressive and moving.

[kimmerslev1]

Grat perfomance. Nice to hear a song played without automatic acc. I use to have HS8 in the past. Now I have Tyros 2.

[discofacelift]

Thanks for your compliment kimmerslev1.

The Tyros2 is a very impressive instrument, I was thinking of buying one for the charity concert performances I give a long with a second keyboard and a set of midi bass pedals.

I'm currently using a Yamaha psr9000pro with a set of midi bass pedals.

Regards

Phil

[kw231263]

Hi drgelastic,

Thanks for your comments.

It's appreciated.

Regards

Phil

[drgelastic]

Awesome.... and all played by you...no sequencing. True talent!!!!!

[discofacelift]

Hi Jancokman,

Thanks for your compliment.

When I originally sat down and worked out my arrangement I wanted to do a big orchestral version, this may sound strange but the more I added on the more it seemed to get less sensitive, so I left it simple and just put in some fluent left hand arpeggio harmonies instead.

Have you heard my arrangement of "Fly Me To The Moon"?

Regards

Phil

[JancokMan]

Nice playing.. but why dont you create sequences for cavatina. you use only 1 registration. i think you should make another version with more sounds since its EL-90^^ perhaps with cosmic sound on the background. But you have done a greeat job great performance

[keystar62]

Pure Magic!!

[hpotter7860]

Great Tune - My Favourite played By Hank Marvin

[Budmetro]

Very nice! Pure silk!

[discofacelift]

Thank you all for your comments.

Cavatina is a favourite of mine. This tune is all so known as The Theme From The Deer Hunter; I guess I should have titled it as that because the arrangement I play is from the film The Deer Hunter.

Thank you for the private messages from Japan too. I am planning on putting another performance on soon.

Once again many thanks.

[roti75]

Excellent arrangement.  Well done.

[hugelength]
