    I had the privilege of performing this piece with the US Air Force Band out of Warner Robins AFB, Ga. under the direction of the composer Dr. Alfred Reed in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. in the 1980's. What a thrill it was! I love this piece and it was masterly performed here by this great band. Thank you!

      That's one hell of a privelidge. I think a lot of musicians don't realise how privelidged they are performing pieces in many great concert halls under great conductors until later in their lives. I took my daughter (9 Y.O.) to see John Williams conduct the Weiner Philharmoniker in Viener & it won't be later that she will realise it was a "Hey, i was here" moment. Now that john has turned 90 i, as a professional musician who has being involved in recording the soundtracks for all the last 7 Star Wars Movies truly appreciate what a wonderful composer & a better human being he is. Hopefully there will be lots of years to come for John. I feel distraught even thinking of that terrible day when he passes but will truly enjoy his genius while he is with us.

    Interpretation aside, I marvel at the clarity of how the entire performance was captured. This has to be out on CD! The flute soli at 8:31 is usually a blur live but here you can almost imagine the notes right in front of you!

    Great performance. Didn't know this magnificent piece of music, until yesterday evening. We attended the show performed by the Dutch HM Royal Marines Band, celebrating the 150th aniversary of the local Orchestra "De Hoop" in Ossendrecht (The Netherlands). Wow, just as good your band. It was an honour attending this show. Also a great performance. You yourself may proud of this one.

    And the cameraman/director should have given the timpanist some love at 1:08. If you're familiar with the score, the timpanist is going absolutely bonkers here going at fortissimo and leaping semiquavers between the D & A drums.

  • @Charlienepien
    @Charlienepien 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Great piece, but de second/middle part is played with very little soul. Straight, to the point (like military soldiers ;-) ), but with very little dynamics. Such a pity. Hopefully it will be/would have been better without social distancing!

  • @griffin8er845
    @griffin8er845 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This piece is so fantastically written and I was just dissatisfied with the entirety of the middle. Notes and rhythms were played but I didn’t feel like there was any substance or emotion behind them. Everything at a fast tempo was quite precise though so pretty good performance overall.

    • @brokk2
      @brokk2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agree. More over, and as usual (90% of american bands), way too fast.
      It's a pity, because It's like trashing away the whole piece, instead of tasting it.

  • @youtuuba

    Nice performance rendered so-so by the awful acoustics and poor recording techniques. And no doubt made worse by the social distancing within the ensemble.
    And I wonder why anyone would decide to light the ensemble as if they were in a cave. Why bother wearing snappy uniforms of nobody can see them from the audience (without the camera closeups, neither could we).
    I also thought the first oboe played her part very mechanically; I have heard much more musical playing of that part elsewhere.
    I suppose its was the director 's decision to add that un-Alfred Reed dynamics effect in the brass on the last chord of the opening fanfare.....that just sounds stupid, bad idea.

    There’s a way better interpretation of this piece on TH-cam played by a Japanese concert band (I think it was the NHK wind band), has more soul and cleanliness to it, and the oboe solo in the middle section is played with much more emotion, which in this one, lacks so much of it.

  • @timc7543
    @timc7543 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yeah, gotta agree. Middle section is wooden and mechanical. This is one of the big lyrical movements in the rep and this performance was really disappointing.
