Great work Joe! Obviously Mr. Carter was pleased with the performance as well. Its great the concerts were so well produced and documented...a wonderful tribute to Carter and his amazing and varied body of work. He does look outstanding for soon-to-be 100.
I see I have a lot of videos to get caught up on in this thread! Wow!
here are two videos from someone i subscribe to here in italy. i think the first is an absolute beast - like listening to math - both were recorded during a recital for his diploma ... hope he made it:

Thanks Linda, that whole week the Fellows were doing nothing but his music, and he made it to every dress rehearsal and every concert, just amazing.
Update: ok, now that Tanglewood video is on YouTube --

his videos are fun.Originally Posted by (jgarber @ July 23 2008, 08:56)
i don't know who made his mandolin - just wrote and asked him. assuming he's been "laureato" (as he should be) and as it's summer and school is out - possibly forever - i expect he'll be away from his computer for un bel po'.
fun-fun-fun in the sun-sun-sun - bill

That Calace piece was very nice and the first piece was like listening to not just math but chinese algebra, a little difficult.
Thanks for the links.

Found this on YouTube... very impressive playing and impressive solo piece. Does anyone know where the music could be found?

Hello,
Pierangelo is playing a Nuova Liutiera Romana 5bis by Marco Onorati. The same mandolin that I have. Very nice playing.
close enough ...
he just sent me the following:
"il mandolino è una copia di Embergher, fatta da Mauro Carpiceci in Roma."
Interesting. On Pierangelo's myspace page he has it listed as Nuova Liutiera Romana 5bis. I wonder if Marco has another builder now.
I was always under the impression that Marco was a knowledgeable vendor and not a builder at all. Carlo Cecconi, e.g., builds the early-instrument reproductions sold through Marco's site.
Ah, the Sonatina Tritematica No. 12, by Luciano Chailly. I played that on a recital more than 25 years ago! I thought it was "cute" with the Frère Jacques quotes, and pretty accessible. That piece goes way back to 1962, but I think he wrote another mandolin piece in the 80s.
here's another video of pierangelo fevola performing solo for his diploma - "Theodor Hlouschek (variationen) per mandolino." never having been through this grueling procedure, i'm surprised at how many pieces he's had to perform so far. i would have thought it'd be two pieces max - something chosen for you and something you choose yourself - and ... "here's your diploma, kid - auguroni":

Bill,
If only that was the case...that would have been brilliant. I had to prepare a 45-50 minute recital. Actually, I prefer a recital setting to only 2 pieces or so. It really gives the musician a chance deminstrate all that he/she has learned over the four/five years. My first two years I only had to play 2-3 pieces. Pierangelo sounds good....hopefully he got a good mark.

Uh...wow.

known to you all perhaps but i just came across this guy's videos:

... this one particular:

stage performance is one thing - unattainable, me thinks, in my case - but watching a man and - whomever - play music together at home, basically for their own pleasure (omitting the fact that he's posted videos to youtube) is an intimate and soulful experience to me.

I like it. If you don't mind the lack of bass, it's quite effective, a bit like the 4-course guitar music of Morlaye in its alto-y mood.
Written for mandolin virtuoso Michael Hooper but already being played by others; Michael Finnissy's - Yob Cultcha (or 'Keep taking the Tabloids')

boooo ... hissss ... it amazes me that composers (as talented as they may be) should select an instrument as lyrical and expressive as the mandolin and throttle it down to a cacophony of pleeps, tweeps and plonks.
if the subject of the piece is indeed "yob culture" - "yob" being a british jibe at those of us with dyslexia; suggesting we're too thick to spell "boy" properly ... - then we do NOT need another negative, defeatist, downbeat, discordant, cynical, bleak, fatalistic, gloomy, dark, despairing, despondent, depressed, hopeless, suspicious, distrustful, doubtful - and may i say - hackneyed prognosis. what we need are some good tunes.
One word: noise.

OH MY GOD!!!! Not to crush anyone's particular taste in music.....but I feel an urgent need to cleanse my ears!
This was just emailed to me by Juan Carlo Munoz. It is ensemble "ARTEMANDOLINE Baroque Ensemble". Enjoy.

lovely! ... "enjoy" them i did. i notice the mandolin players are using risha-style plectrum (horn, ivory or bone, i would imagine) instead of traditional picks - that cheered me up even more than the music!
