Don Taylor Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Nice, really nice. I like the pacing and the fiddle feel to the sound. Don. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cboody Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Very nice playing Wolf. It is not the way I hear that tune, but that's not a criticism. You've got a good concept in place and nailed it. I hear it much slower with more "slush" and with big ritards at the spot where the hold is. Probably this is from listening to the great tenor John McCormack (among others) sing it.

Wolf Molkentin Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Thank you so much Chuck and Stefan, I'm very glad that my version sounds appealing to you both! And yes, I love listening to John McCormack singing this song and the likes too! For my part I initially didn't include the hold at all, having it swapped with a somewhat straighter figure before I developed the actual option midway between keeping the waltz pace and the freer vocal ornamentation... I believe it's the instrument (resp. my alliance with it) which gets me playing the tune this lively way; singing it is a different thing, and playing it with the piano as well... OTOH I seem to tend to add momentum to tunes anyway... Thanks again! Best - Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Last evening I felt like giving the full version a spontaneous try - I'm not really content by now with the vocals, but here it is, as is: The Last Rose of Summer Best wishes - Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
