The playing is putting showmanship before technique. Tempo is too fast resulting in confusion in the polyphony and less than clean playing. If this is supposed to be a recreation of Catherine Crozier's recital it fall short of the goal.

It is from a previous concert. The recreation of the Crozier recital is on November 6, 2009.

Thanks--it's celebrating its 50th birthday this year - November 6, to be exact. Going to have a lot of events in the 2009-2010 concert season to celebrate it.

@SilverlakeDehners Jan is not creating confusion. Are you even listening?

[llep3070]

I know Jan and she doesn't put "showmanship" above technique. Nobody said this was a recreation of anything. Get a grip.

I know Jan and she doesn't put "showmanship" before technique. Nobody said anything about it being a recreation of anyone else. Get a grip.

Good luck with your November 6 presentation. Are you playing the Lidon Sonata for the Trompeta Real?
