  • this is probably the best I've ever heard!!Rigaudon was crazy I have never heard that fast but it was really good! thanks for the post!

  • I love how in almost every Holberg movement you have a series of majors with a hint of minors mixed in the middle somewhere. And here in Andante Religioso he throws a major in the middle of the minors... Aside from Edvard's brilliance, well done yourselves! A great performance.

  • I owe this orchestra my first born child.

  • I think Grieg would have enjoyed this.

    The contrast of tempi is reflective of the composer's own mercurial temperment. Excellent performance, and without a conductor!

  • Great and FAST!!!! I LOOOOVVVVEEEE IT!!!! I'm playing tis right now!!!

  • Very, very good!

  • I am in love in this Air forever. So impressive.. And so sad, but beautiful.. wow..

  • very beautiful! i am playing this in orchestra! i play the violin <3 i can't wait until my parents hear this in our concert in a few months!

  • Really excellent ensemble. Thanks for posting this, I will be checking out all your other stuff!!

  • I so love hearing the dance of the music through the whole body. Instead of an immobile body, rather stiff, playing and not entering into the "dance".

  • A Far Cry, you are Sooo great! Love the way you played this piece.

  • nice tempo on the Rigaudon
