What a wonderful, sensitive and moving performance of a supposedly “minor” work by Elgar, but as perfect in its way as any “major” work by any composer you can name.😢
Beautiful tempo, not as rushed as other performances. You are giving those beautiful harmonies time to evolve and bloom. Thanks a lot for your efforts!
I agree with this 100%--I loved the slower-than-many elegant pace of the 2nd movement, the lush harmonies and subtle transitional passages everywhere...Brava! for a splendid performance of the Serenade. Thank you for braving the choppy waters of a major public health crisis to get together again and make music!
Yes, life went on during the pandemic, although it doesn’t look that they are a full 6 feet apart. Beautiful beautiful music in a time of worldwide stress.
The ostinato figure that opens the first movement in bars 1 and 2 has the notes "E-D#-E-E-E-E." The first two note letters spell "ED," the short form of "Edward." The repeated Es that follow furnish two sets of Edward Elgar's initials (EE). These coded allusions to Elgar's first name and initials are widespread throughout the work and aptly illustrate Elgar's fascination for musical cryptography.
I was almost brought up with the Marriner recording long ago . It is good to hear your playing of it now which is less emotional but none the worse for that and of course the recorded sound is much better. A covid performance to be proud of.
Bravo! Fabulous piece! Great performance! The strings are pulling my heart strings. I had just recently learned about Sir Edward Elgar and his music. first heard him on WETA recently~ Edit: Also, I noticed the spacing between each musician, is that standard spacing? It really sounds amazing!
Beautiful sound and balance plus top flight players but in my opinion the way the visual aspect of filming orchestras making the musicians sway about in their chairs like they're performing some choreography dance routine is totally pathetic and wholly distracting. If you happen to be like me from a generation that has a long attention span and can listen to a whole Bruckner Symphony without having to be visually entertained by musicians posing emotion then this video is best just listened to and not watched.

I listened to Elgar's Serenade for Strings from various orchestras and I found your performance to be the best
Thank you!
Absolutely agree!
the sound engineering, the acoustic of this hall - all very stimulating and satisfying
Doesn't sound as good as this version though I have to say !!

wouldn't matter if they were since that was made up garbage
Love that warm, straight up, English romantic style :) Elegant Elgar...

Thanks for this insight. I never thought of a composer doing something like this. Really cool!
Just GORGEOUS! Just beside myself, listening.
So elegant, good job 👏
Maravilloso! Amazing 💕
Thank you for give me what a beautiful and amazing sound and music!!!!
Escoltar aquesta música és com tocar el cel amb l'anima i elevar-se fins l'infinit! Moltes gràcies!
EVERYTHING Elgar wrote is masterful and beautiful. My favorite composer!
Oh what a treat! GRAZIE 😗
Wonderful playing. Glad to see Harvey Desouza.
I was struck by how much this sounds like Grieg.
Muchas gracias. You are fantástic.
Thank you!
amazing performance

Covid's got nothing to do with this; don't be a wet blanket. Take your fake-news and go.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Superb! You all are brilliant!
Thank you very much!
