It always amuses me to think that this wonderful composition only exists because GTB was asked to fill-in for the BBC as the broadcast service finished earlier than expected (ah . . . if only all services were so obliging!). Public demand saw him score an approximation of his ever-popular improvisation. You register and perform this piece with superb artistry, Ben: bravo! (And not that it is of any interest to anyone other than me, but this was the first piece I ever played in public at a school concert [a Walker Organ!] when I was fifteen . . . fifty-one years ago. If only I had played it one percent as beautifully as you in this recording.)
Love this piece.
Perfect performance and perfect registration and tempo.
You are phenomenal Ben
Beautiful piece, beautifully played!
Thanks Ben such a gem beautifully interpreted with thoughtful registrations.
Great to hear this well known piece from a world famous Australian born composer.
C'est bien, cette pièce. Je vais la réécouter, pour voir.
