Wind of darkness time,reminds me of the War in the Ukraine. Great performance
A great work!
Powerful, eerie!
Fascinating work and performance!
Bravi!
Stunning and moving!
As a Turkish violist I want to play this masterpiece!
That's very kind of you to write such a nice comment. There's another performance by the same artists on CZcams from Germany, and a CD version by different artists. If you would like the score/part they are free as pdfs from my website (www.peterseabourne.com). Alternatively, you can email me from there and I will send you attachments. There is another viola/piano work on CZcams called "Freeing the Angel". I also have a short solo piece. All best wishes.
Happy Birthday Robin!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
A major new work of great beauty, charm and depth! Bravi!
That's very sweet of you Beth! Thank you!
I love the instrumentation and will look up the poem. It sounds like a happy day on the Penobscot (Maine) to me. Also, the colorful backdrop adds to the mood. This work should be performed at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center..
That's very sweet of you Nancy! Well, if you have any contacts there... So close last time at Christ and St. Stephen's - only a few more yards to go next time!..
Dark, fascinating music. I hope this gets a live performance soon.
It would be nice... Thank you for your kind words!
YES!
I like it me keto lib Jan Bures
Bravo!!👏👏👏👏
Unique and great
Love it, very capricious.
Gnomic! Wonderful!
Thanks, John! Scrunch up a Beethoven scherzo, shake around the shards and tip them out!
Great work, fantastic!
That's most kind! Thank you! Glad it struck a chord!
Nice performance. You are very talented
Sembra proprio di sentire scendere la pioggia!! Complimenti all’interpretazione della pianista!!
Performance!
WOW LovE it!
That is most kind, Sandra! Thank you. I think it would suit your passionate playing, too!
Still inspired by you
That's most touching, Gabrielle! Thank you.
Condiviso e commentato su Fb. Bravissimi!
Grazie! Sempre gentilissimo, Giorgio!
Wow! I didn't know Michael Bell played piano.
It is an interesting concept. It is as if we are hearing not only the musical ideas that made it into the finished composition, but also those ideas that the composer considered and then rejected. That would be a composer's life, would it not? But each note faces its Judgment Day in the mind of the composer. Like film, some scenes make it into the movie and some end up on the cutting room floor.
Fantastic, vivid and very talented!!!
Many thanks Aliya! Most kind!
Wonderful and unfashionably beautiful! The last movement is a great holding together of the lyrical and (almost) violent.
Ogni volta che lo riascolto (almeno 3) scopre cose nuove. Questo accade solo con i brani di un certo spessore.
Interprete d'eccezione per un brano molto impegnativo e intenso. Bravi!
Thank you, kind Giorgio! Rebecca gives a wonderful performance!

Thank you, Billy. Very kind! Fenella, Lavard and DKN gave a wonderful performance. I hope others might do likewise in the future. If you want to see the score it is available from peterseabourne.com as a PDF (free for personal use).

@@seabournecomposer thank you. This is a real work of art. Beauty of the roses. Thank you.
Dear Metin, I am so sorry I did not somehow pick up your warm and generous comment... The last year has been a very traumatic one for my family, sadly, so much has gone unattended to. But your kind words are even more welcomed at this point in time! Thank you!
Exquisite! Bravi!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Beth. Very kind!
great piece , solist and orchestra
Thank you Jonathan. Most kind. Ondrej Vrabec is one of the world's great horn players.
Magnifico brano. Non mancano anche una certa ironia e un buon umorismo. Bravissimi gli esecutori
Grande musica.
Bello davvero e mi sembra anche ben eseguito.
Mille grazie, Giorgio - ...molto gentile!
Bravo!
It is wonderful that today a composer write such deep and beautiful music! Keep on composing! Like Wagner said: we need always new works that reflects our times. Anyway we will play again the great Beethoven, Mozart but NEW works also! Many bravo for Peter Seabourne, Kristina Stepasjukova, Ondrej Vrabec and the Academy Orchestra of the Czech Philharmonic!
Thank you deeply for your kind words, Daniel! I was so lucky to have such amazing performers for my concerto! Please feel free to share the link. Maybe we will meet when my work is next performed in Czech Republic!
Wonderful Work! Interesting!
Mmm...enjoyed this, thanks. Will look out for more !
Compelling listening, as always, with the music of Peter Seabourne. His music never fails to take one on a journey that is both deeply inner and personal, and simultaneously a journey outwards into the centre of all that exists.
Brilliant!
