So glad this suite is being performed-great saxophone and trumpet work here...
Muy bueno , Kurt weill parece simple pero no lo es.....gracias por el video
Love this suite! Beautiful performance.
Thanks! Nice playing. Recording also of good quality.
Well done ! Wonderful performance ! Congratulations!
bravo
A great suite, perfectly executed my a marvelous band of musicians. It is hard to believe they are not professionals. They sound much bigger and fuller than their modest numbers would suggest, and make you forget there are no string players (I believe these to be the hallmarks of a good wind band).

This pieces is trash
@@Zester141 Sure bro, if you say so.
@@ChrisBreemer sorry, trash if you okay flute. It’s good for every other instrument. I question why there’s even a flute part in the first place.
Nice, i ejoyed! Bw this suite was 'comissioned' by Otto Klemperer, he also recorded it...some great music, makes me happy.
Does anyone know where someone could get a copy of the arrangement? I love this and would love to play it.

Saxophone and banjo in serious music … mein Gott !
Oh no, they're /jazzing it up/, oh dear...
If that gorgeous young lady playing the piano fancies dinner for two in London, just let me know :-)
Great performance all round.
I thought if would be better. Intonation! Tone control! Are these the top players?
Uh no they are not. They're university players.
The musicians are great. The conductor/interpretation does them no favours. Especially in the Kanonenlied, which is largely a headlong rush which obscures the detail. Shame as the instrumentalists seem very fine.
I agree with you on the musicians but don't understand your critique on the interpretation and/or conductor. The Kanonenlied is very brisk indeed, at least in some sections, but it is perfectly articulated and detailed, nothing obscured, and due to the tempo differences does not sound like a headlong rush at all. I think the conductor does as great a job as the musicians.
This piece sucks if you play flute. You won’t see your first actual melody until 9 minutes in and that’s all we get. Why did he even write a flute part?
He wrote a flute part for a reason. If there was no reason for Kurt Weill to write a flute part he wouldn't have put one in.
@@thesmiler1579 It hilarious how i posted this a year ago and losers like you keep trying to defend it. Nothing any person can say will make me like this piece. And if your goal is to make sure people reading the thread dont get the wrong idea, such a waste of your time. Get a life that doesn’t involve scrolling through comments just to find the one that opposes your opinion.
The second flute part makes me want to change majors or drop out of school. Not bc it’s hard, bc it’s absolutely nothing. First flute is no better. Thanks Kurt Weill for writing some of the most useless flute parts in music history.
The 1955 Broadway Show, from which this is taken had woodwind book, Book 1 - Flute, Clarinet, Alto Sax; Book 2 - Flute, Clarinet, Tenor Sax. That's why the Flute 2 is sparse. It's from the pit parts, played by even fewer people than here and a pump or reed organ if you want to be authentic. And there were no Bassoon parts. If you know the show, you realize there's quite a lot of arranging going on, even changing the melodies. So that answers your question and more. Listen to the 1955 Broadway version if you want to hear the original.
@@WampsPlace I’ve listened to every version and arrangement I could find including the 1955 Broadway version. It’s not a bad piece to LISTEN to. But playing this piece, as a flute player, provides absolutely no skills needed for me to get better. In fact a mere beginner could play and get away with these parts. It’s all fluff and zero substance (at least for the flutes) All except for one spot in the last movement, the flutes could be taken out entirely and you wouldn’t tell a difference. Why would I want to play on a piece like that? One that basically says “you’re only here because I couldn’t think of anything else to do with you” or “I didn’t know what else to do with the flute part.” I spend 3 hours a day working on my skills to get better. From technique to long tones.. everything. And to spend that much time and effort to play this? What an absolute waste of my time. But else what should I expect from an Opera? If I were a director I would NEVER pull a piece out like this. While the Saxophone and Trumpet have good parts, others don’t. It’s about everyone getting better not a just few selected individuals. If I were getting paid to play this, I wouldn’t complain. But the fact that I’m pulling $7000 in loans a semester to play this garbage has me questioning if what I am doing is even right? So far, I’ve mad a huge mistake choosing music over other fields of study.
@Zester141 bro chill, not every piece is going to be all about your instrument, that's kind of a fundamental concept to playing in a music group. If you want to truly know the meaning of a useless no-substance part, talk to any poor sap who plays bari sax or bass clarinet in a wind band. Seriously, 95% of orchestra or wind band compositions that are regularly performed have at the least acceptable and usually pretty interesting flute parts, I know from experience. Don't let one single piece completely sour your appetite for musical performance, because I guarantee you this won't be the last piece you have to perform that you won't like as much as the rest.
