Concertino For Xylophone

Wow this is going back. I just found this video on an old disc. In 2000, 17 yr old me performed at a recital as part of the VCA Season of Excellence - basically a showcase of students that did Music Performance in their final year of high school.

This is the first movement of Toshiro Mayuzumi's Concertino for Xylophone and Orchestra. Probably even harder than the xylophone part is the piano accompaniament, here played by Tamara Smolyar.

Excuse the dodgy camera work. Filmed by an excited family member.

You look a bit _too_ relaxed, I'd say ;)

But a great performance anyway.

[JarrodFactor]

I think relaxed is putting it nicely - arrogantly smug would be more like it. But hey, I was a 17 yr old at the time so I knew everything of course.

Thanks for watching!

First 30 Secounds sounds like FRIDAY THE 13 TH PART 1.

That piano part does sound crazy hard at parts, but the xylophone part doesn't seem easy. Speaking as someone who plays both, you both executed this extremely well.
