Congratulations Rob on this important piece. 2023-06-22T13:29:19Z Comment by Paul Maurice Roche, Composer The chord sustained between 9:26 and 9:39 generates such a delightful sense of 'sostenuto', evocative of the latent power and beauty towards the end of the Adagietto in Mahler's 5th. Unutterably beautiful. This piece expands musical horizons. This is an important work, which will outlive us all 2023-06-05T05:17:50Z Comment by Paul Maurice Roche, Composer Magnificent haunting strings. Arguably the most beautiful of RB's Passacaglia. Each seeming more miraculous than the others at the time of listening. 3:09 to 3:37 speaks most eloquently of the genius at work here 2023-06-05T04:59:22Z Comment by Dragon of the Ivy Robert, what a superb very interesting dramatic piece!!!! 2023-05-23T02:13:34Z Comment by Dragon of the Ivy AH excellent!!!! 2023-05-23T02:12:42Z Comment by Srouly Frank Very fine work Robert , bravo :) 2023-05-07T14:32:21Z Comment by R.U.R.
