Artista oltre il talento

Great!

Incredible find!

Reminded me of that Italian band as General Patton walked up the steps to kiss the Bishops ring in Palermo!

Brava Marjorie Bunday and Bravo Neil Gladd for performing such excellent work!

Does anyone know how he passed away?

You've always had a fine touch sir! Glad(d) you're still with us and creating.

Beautiful!

Luv it! I didn’t now you were an Ives fan!

Thanks Neil. Always great to hear my Grandfather's music

Thank you for these gems. I hope you will upload more 🥰

Nice music!

Really nice!

Wonderful performance! Soprano and mandolin, who would have imagined that! Not me, thats for sure. Is there a lot of music for this combination available?

Nice pieces. Interesting work!

Marvelous, Neil!

Neil, I love your performance of my father's work! You really brought out the expressive intensity of his playing!! Thank you so much for all you've done to preserve and promote my father's works, as well as his vision for the mandolin as a valid instrument in the classical realm.

Hello, I’ve been studying the Mandolin for about 5 years now and I’ve been trying to locate tabs for some of Sousa’s marches. Is your arraignment for sale? Thanks.

Love this! Bravo Neil!!!

Neil, thank you for your reply. One day I would like to hear the entire opera. Its importance is the following. In 1796 an opera troupe made their way from Havana to New Orleans to perform Sylvain. This was the first time an entire opera was ever performed in the Northern Hemisphere, and certainly the first opera performed in New Orleans. While there was no commemoration of Sylvain in 1996, there is now a restaurant named Sylvain located on the site of the original theatre where it was performed.

I wondered why this aria was chosen? The entire opera is of major importance in the history of opera in North American, and especially in New Orleans. Indeed, there is a restaurant in the French Quarter named for this opera.

nice

@mtessi20 - Thanks! I didn't pay a commission, but I did ask Elizabeth to write it. This is actually her third piece for the mandolin. The first, for mandolin and piano, was published back in the 80s. The second was for electric mandolin and piano, and was primarily arrangements of other pieces she had written, but had one new movement for solo electric mandolin called Electric Bebop!

Very engaging piece and performance. Did you commission it? CHeers Mark R-T

Lovely!

Very nice! Thanks for sharing,

What a WONDERFUL performance! Had it not been for the post-inaugural madness in D.C., I'd have done anything to attend in person. Marj and Neil are a thrill to listen to. Bravi!

A most enjoyable video of a charming piece. Thanks for sharing your performance here.

A very nice performance that I have enjoyed tremendously! Thanks for bringing Seth Weeks' music for mandolin under our attention; very interesting!
