FSU Philharmonic Orchestra - Barber's Piano Concerto - Part 1 of 4

The FSU Philharmonia performing Barber's Piano Concerto Op. 38. The pianist is an undergraduate student here at FSU, Julian Toha. Forgive the recording quality btw. I had to use the crappy picture setting so that I could record as much of the really long orchestra concert as I could, and of course, being that it's a digital camera, the sound quality hardly does the orchestra justice.

This part and part 2 are recordings of the first movement of the concerto. Part 3 is a recording of just the second movement, and part 4 is a recording of the third movement.

Julian, you are one exciting pianist. I am very familiar with the Barber piano sonata and was only browsing when I came across this video. You and your very passionate interpretation make me want to learn this concerto. Keep it up. This was awesome!

@seanchristopherfranc What the hell are you talking about?

[seanchristopherfranc]

there is just too too much... and then not any where near enough... and i missed so badly the just right... I show my brilliance thru criticism. Amen, (but don't ask me to upload my work...that might be "unfortunate")

Sorry, but I can't feel the opening cadenza, I think this interpretation is ... let's say: unfortunate. The boy has good technique through. Orchestra is good, but they're loosing rythm about 6'50. For me: boy keeps rythm when he shouldn't and doesn't keep it when he should. Thanks for down thumbs.

Very good!!

[cataclismus]

there is too much damper pedal

Good effort with a difficult piece. The interpretation is a bit stiff and deliberate. More flow and imagination would help. As an undergraduate, Mr. Toha has the time to advance and improve in this direction. Best of luck to him!
