Very nice. Thanks for uploading. Also, one thing that I think Bach really needs is a very strict and consistent tempo (except perhaps at the end, where a bit of a rall. is good). Almost all of the Bach I hear on YouTube is NOT played in this consistent way, and I'm frustrated by it, and thinki...

Very nice. Shame it sounds like people are having a sotto voce conversation in the background...

That was very nice. Thanks for uploading this.

Although it was being played by a soulless MIDI player, I actually liked it, mostly - at least it was accurately played!

It may not have any tempo indication, but people who have some musicality to them will instinctively have a feel from the music itself about what is an appropriate speed. This means that, yes, there'll be some different interpretations - but there's no harm in voicing an opinion about someone's ...

Lovely piece. Generally an excellent performance. Personally (and I know the composer was conducting, but I've been wrong about my own works in the past too), I'd've prefered it slower. Also, it sounded like maybe they'd just laid down a bunch of carpet in the hall - a more sympathetically rev...

That was, despite the awful sound-quality of the recording, enjoyable to listen to. It wasn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, and if you love the piece, I suggest you keep working on it. But, this was nevertheless very good. I especially liked the fact that, unlike almost every othe...

ok, now let's see it performed by two live pianists...

Very nice. Thanks for uploading.

yummy. Thanks for uploading.

@spotonz it's possible some people didn't like it because it's clever and silly :-)

Overall very nice, but I miles prefer it if the pianist interprets the last page as a series of sections that dissolve downwards in dynamics into the next one... the recapitulation should, for me,start markedly softer than the previous phrase, softer, but still dynamic and exciting, then the 1st ...

a lot of work seems to have gone into this, and I enjoyed it. Thanks for uploading.

The acting was done with deliberation and passion, which was good, but it was very bizarre nevertheless. Nice singing.

personally, it's just a wee smidge faster than I'd like, but this performance is rather dynamic, and generally exceptionally well done. I think the passages where it seems to slow fractionally, especially towards the end, are mainly artistic in nature. I enjoyed this a lot. Thanks for uploading.

Am I dreaming, or is this rendition incredibly fast?

too fast for my liking (quite a bit too fast), but otherwise an enjoyable performance. Was the fifth that the tenor went up to at the end in the score? I have the choir score that doesn't include the soloists parts, but I don't recall hearing that before. I think I'd prefer it if he either sta...

you've just gotta love those false relations! Awesome.

faster than I'd take it, but very nice. Possibly a recording issue, but it was fuzzy/inaudible in the soft bits (a little) which was a shame. Otherwise very polished indeed. Crisp. I loved it.

nice to hear a version with the scored drum part in. Good performance. Thanks for uploading.

perhaps the acoustic isn't doing you any favours, but this just doesn't gel for me. and what's with the accellerando over the first half of the first verse? I don't recall seeing that in the score. Two main things to work on: sound quality (tone more than pitch, but pitch needs work too), and ...

nice work!

lol :-)

There are simply no words powerful enough to describe gorgeousness of the final climax and resolution. Yummy delicious beautiful so much beyond words. Thank-you God for Tallis, and thank-you Tallis Scholars for this beautiful performance.

great music, very well performed. Thanks for uploading.

nice one. That was funny.

Just plain nasty. Speed ridiculously fast, not together, tuning awful. Ouch. My ears!

@arvidtom. S's music did develop and mature in the 50 years between The Firebird and Movements, so yes, if you heard just The Firebird and then Movements, it may be difficult to find similarities. Apart from the 50 year time gap, the music is for different ensembles, purposes, audiences etc. et...

very nice. Thanks for uploading.

Nice as the performance (and piece) is, I couldn't finish watching it - the sound quality is terrible!

Generally very well performed. It's all-too-easy to go flat on the final third-of-the-chord in the tenor part (which is horrible), but I feel this was actually a little too sharp here. Apart from that, great. I particularly enjoyed the nice resonant second bass note in the resolution of the fi...

The whole composition is so incredibly gorgeously crafted (and sung) it's hard to pick a favourite moment, but the chord on 'to my' [taste] (at 0min.40sec.), would have to be right up there for me. Mind-blowingly moving (with its resolution in the cadence).
