High School Kids

It is amazing what high school kids can do.



One of my major problems with the exulted child prodigy is that many times they cannot play with any emotion. They can whip through a Chopin Etude, but they couldn't make the first movement of Beethoven's C# Sonata interesting to save their life (or for that matter the other two movements, or for that matter, the Chopin Etude). And at age 6 you are amazed their hands can manage that octave, but when they grow up and play in that chunky style, you are naive to not recognize their playing for what it is.

The choir captivates me. Pitch, dynamics, phrasing. All spot on. Wish it was a better recording.
