A wonderful performance it is certainly, but the writing is beautiful and without that no amount of finesse can make a silk purse from a sows ear! This is the mark of a great composer. 

I hesitate to offer my comments, not because this ravishing piece and the perfect performance are not worthy, but because so many people have already written their praises so eloquently. Ever plaudit is richly deserved. Wonderful!

Beautiful and wise music and Mr. Best is a great interpeter.

@musiques_intemporelles Thank you very much!

R.A. Moulds studied composition with William Presser at the University of Southern Mississippi. His early music exhibited an idiosyncratic, non-dogmatic post-tonal style, which was soon abandoned in favor of a more eclectic manner.
