This symphony deserves more performances!
Thank you so much for this video. Amy Beach had a wonderful gift for melody and harmony, fully brought out in this symphony, and beautifully played here. It's so rewarding to listen to, and watch, such talented musicians at work. Bravo!
Great performance
Fantastic performance! I really enjoyed watching it.

Pleasant enough to listen to, and worth performing, but very derivative and without a personal voice.
Why be so negative. You could have left it at "Pleasant enough to listen to, and worth performing."
@@danielmkubacki I think that I agree with @jgesselberty; good listening but it doesn't have the umph of some other symphonies. Not to be critical Ms. Beach, since I'm only a listener; some symphonies rise to the top more than others, but this is good work, no doubt about it.
One wonders had Beach been exposed more to musical currents beyond the conservative McDowell set, how far might she have expanded (this was written around the same time as Mahler's 2nd symphony and Nielsen's 1st Sym, and at the same time Ives is starting to burn conservative music to the ground). But then I think even if she been temperamentally drawn to more rule breaking, being a woman at the time had she trotted out something as pushy as a Nielsen, might not the establishment thrown their hands up and dismiss it as mere feminine excess.
