Having complimented this on another forum, I can only reiterate my praise for a compelling performance of a characterful piece by a composer I had certainly never heard of previously. I hope people will take the time to listen to this.

A new composer to me too, I'm afraid. Very nicely done, and an interesting piece. You've done your job and sparked my interest.  :D

I did not know you hang around here too Joachim ! Once again, kudos. An interesting piece, great repertoire choice, and convincing presentation. There is so much good stuff around for those who
look further than the great names.
