Hi Rabbi

Thanks for nice comments. Will pass them on. I've also made a full length doc on my vimeo site called "Singular Collective". Helen Petts

Tremendous range and dynamics. Too easy for noise terror to take over in these situations but my compliments to the players and conductor for the the sensitivity and control to make this a very special recording. Thanks for sharing.

This is the sound I made when I fell down a mine shaft. Sounds like Charlie Brown meets Pink Panther on a drunken night out. I really like it! :)

What the hell?

fantastic!!!!!!

[rstolyar]

Classical composers should be very jealous to this. Perfect work!

[murmurists]

Fantastic, and moving. We should thank our lucky stars for the internet; music like this was hardly ever seen and heard before it. Its presence on youtube is growing; and that can only be a good thing, I feel. It's about time we on the periphery had our own television to watch.

Thanks for posting.

Beautiful playing, captured with intelligence and sensitivity. Improvised music like this should be seen as well as heard--a DVD would be wonderful.
