Robert Finley plays Chanson de matin by Elgar

[BluenoseBiff5]

Superb version of a classic.

Bravo.

[enunetxu]

Do you have the sheet to this song? I used to play with the piano and my friends with the flute, violin... but I would like to play it alone!

Thank you

[Bibliomaniac15]

@enunetxu You can find a sheet on IMSLP. I don't think it's the exact same as Mr. Finley's transcription, but it's very similar.

[fraricello]

bravo mr. finley,it s a great pleasure to listen this performance.

thank you very much

I've been playing this on piano, and I would be glad if I could play it with even a fraction of the nuance you've put into this piece.

[asb141]

That's wonderful! so emotional! Congratulation :)

[risingpianofire]

Robert - this is just incredible. I love your phrasing and emotions. I've been a fan of yours for some time. Thanks for all the inspiration. I fell across this video because I just recorded a mp3 (me on violin) of this for fun with my wife who wanted to get back into a little more piano playing. I made a video of it and placed it on youtube and immediately your video showed up as suggested videos. Again Bravo!

[donuldvan]

I used to play this on violin. Beautiful piece of English music. Beautiful performance.

[classicaland]

Good to see you here dear Robert. You are truly amazing!!!

[ipmoic]

Funny how this just sounds so "English"--even though hints of Grieg certainly peek in and out.

Charming music, nicely played.

[vanillacoke901]

well done :D

[rupepill]

Thank you for this fine video of your charming transcription.

[CurzonRoad]

[kooldice]

I have to learn how to play this for an exam- but i dont think i'll ever be able to play it so well. :-(

[Emzzibbz]

same...grade 6 flute... gotta give credit to robert! :D

[rsfpiano]

I'm very interested to hear that this was played on the oboe. I will have to find the recording to hear how it sounds. I also didn't know that Richard Rodney Bennett transcribed it.

[tankoonsiang]

This lovely Elgar piece was played on the oboe and accompanied by orchestra in the 1992 movie Enchanted April. Richard Rodney Bennett wrote a charming and romantic score. Try downloading the sheet music for free from Wikipedia. A CD issued by BBC Music Magazine in 1995 features a 22 minute suite of the score as well as Chanson de Matin. Try Ebay.

[sophiaewise]

overwhelmingly beautiful....

[tonebarry]

Tasteful, understated playing which allowed the music to speak for itself. Really captured the feeling of the piece.

[Ivanhoe2]

I have to say that upon listening several times I am very fond of Mr Finley's work on this piece. I wish him success in his career.

[Ivanhoe2]

Thankyou for posting this,,,which brought back memories of visiting Sir Edward Elgar's birthplace last year,,at Lower Broadheath, Worcester, Next to the small redbrick house stands the pleasant new reception centre in which was playing this music.

[rupepill]

One of Elgar's most charming melodies, arranged and played with a most agreeable style and sensitivity. I heard this recording in the evening and now look forward to the morning, to listen to it again in the right context. Thank you so much for posting your very enjoyable performance.

[sangeetabraam]

Lovely!

[Salliannie]

happy memories of grade 6 flute.

[SgtXerogovitsky]

Wonderful song, beautifully arranged and performed.

i absolutely love this piece...also its other twin the Chanson de la nuit...excellent performance

[Zanite]

Its amazing how he wrote pieces like this, and then like Cockainge, which is amazing, but never really grew on me despite playing it too.

[herma57]

Very Very Nice music, makes you believe in humanity again. . .
