Kachaturian - Gayane Suite (first two 'tracks')
on: October 03, 2010, 04:35:21 PM


And here's a video (badly recorded), from a live performance in 2004. Left piano is me and right is my wife. :)

To be clear, I left the stage and left her there, because there was 3 of us in the concert and I went to call her out, since it was the last piece on the program! :D

(dynamics are squashed completely: recorded with an analogue camera. but I doubt there was too many dynamic variation I think)

Bravi!  Liked that.  Maybe a HAIR too fast - but great ensemble playing!

I will agree that especially the first movement was a tad too fast. For the sabre dance, can't be too sure. We both gotten so used to that tempo... :-/

Thanks for watching/listening!
