This was a superb series John and you present your records and machine in such a way it's almost like having them in one's own home - especially on the big screen. Wonderful experience! Chas.

Chas, Thank you so much for your kind words. We took a lot of time with this piece, I wanted it to be very special. We had to record all three records twice, once for the visual, then with the camera directly in front of the horn for the audio. Mordeth did a fantastic job of syncing them up. Thank you again for the compliment. YF, J.

Schubert, one of my most fav composers. Enjoyed this, do hope you add more symphonies in time. Thanks. :)

[fuzzbear6240]

Meganssparks, Thank you. I do hope to add more soon-a few shorter pieces I think, then another symphony intermixed with more Pop and Jazz. ;-) YF, J.

Beautiful music, I never listened much to Schubert...

[fuzzbear6240]

Adelfred, Neither had I. This is an amazing and famous piece of music, I thought it would make a fine introduction for presenting some longer symphonic recordings. Regards, J.

It was worth it, and the more of these we do, the faster I get at doing them. ;)

Kspm01, Thank you for the kind words. I hope to present more large pieces in the future sprinkled in among the single records if this is positively received. YF, J.
