I loved every minute of it. Thanks, Dave. The theatrics are hard to avoid=
because the piece is so much fun to play. I loved his timing of the grace=
notes (or turn, can't remember) in the second section of the first movemen=
t. I just slur them all together. Horrid really, but it is wonderful, isn=
't it that with music synthesis none of us needs to be a stranger to lovely=
pieces like this one.

Now for Ben at Fifth Circle Audio:

Some technical questions: I counted four cameras, two in the balcony and t=
wo on ground level. One on the ground level needed to have its lens cleane=
d, or so it seemed when that one was brought in. How many were there? I d=
idn't see any mikes above the players. Where were they? Wherever they wer=
e, the only disappointment I found was the almost inaudible pizzicato towar=
d the end of the third movement. Wouldn't it have been great to hear that =
solo up close, like having a mike right next to a harp? I assume that all =
editing was done post-production, right?

Okay, now my bottom line question because I have an upcoming concert (which=
I may still chicken out on). How much would you charge for a recording se=
ssion like that (from the beginning to the creation of the master DVD)?

Thanks for the link, Dave. It was most enjoyable.

Oliver
