Warsaw Concerto

Live performance of Warsaw Concerto by Richard Addinsell. The soloist was Chris Hill with the West Forest Sinfonia. Recorded on 11th November 2006 in All Saints Church, High Wycombe

If anyone is interested, over the last few years I have composed a new romantic-style piano concerto (the "Fantastica") and it was premiered with an amateur student orchestra on 11th March 2010 in Cambridge. YouTube has finally let me upload a full-length live recording:

I listened to your Fantastica (youtube uploads full movies for others; don't know why they forbid yours??)

Enjoyed it much. Thank you. The work carried much of that romantic spirit which sadly is all but lost today. Cheers!

@horationelson57 Hi - I have finally succeeded in uploading it to youtube, description has been updated with link. The problem before was with the audio compression introducing artefacts, but I converted to another format and now the sound quality is great. I'm glad you liked it, there are a few very nice themes in there ( I think!)

I have written and performed a new romantic-style piano concerto! See the video description for links. Enjoy!

@chillzaa Amazing. Is there any form of sheet music for the piano part of your song "Fantastica"?

[chillzaa]

@NoDize9 Yes, there is a full orchestral score - why, are you interested in playing it? :-)

Dan MacNamera and I used to lay on his bed in college, clothes on, and listen to this over, and over. Thank-you Dan for turning me on to this almost 40 years ago now. Great memories of you, and this music. Kathy Ballard xooxox
