Listening to this 3 years after I first heard it still leaves me with goosebumps. The original music, the arrangement and this performance are just so marvelous.

bravissimo

3:41 ❤

It's mind blowing how well the performers/artist here execute this arrangement. ❤

Part II is also very good, but perhaps you could add a tam-tam and kick it with your foot every once in a while....

Fantastic!!! Your performances were flawless, and the arrangement is superb!! I recall reading that Stravinsky himself admitted that, upon consideration later, he could have used much more conservative and regular time signatures to notate the piece -- but maybe he didn't realize that he could have eliminated all those annoying strings as well!!

Bravo!!

so beautiful!!

yesssssss

I can't imagine what the rehearsals were like. and i was absolutely blown away at how the french horn sounded like the strings at 2:17. i'm blown away at how well such a complicated piece sounds with only 5 instruments

Wow, this is unreal! Fantastic arrangement and playing!

For me, what makes this arrangement stand out is the way each instrument is implemented. Using a variety of different techniques, ranges, dynamics, and articulations makes for a much more engaging soundscape. It doesn’t feel like listening to only a flute, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and horn, but rather a whole assortment of wind instruments. I never get bored of the voices because they change often and are written very cleverly.

Excellent arrangement and performance - musically precise and expressive (no conductor!) A rewarding listening pleasure, especially for those who know and love this score. 💫

Woah I love this arrangement

Such an amazing piece of music and such amazing performers. All around just incredible.

LOVE THIS AHHHHHH

Some music is missing at 1:30 😕

This is just amazing! I am wondering with my wind quintet to play this arrangement. Could you help us with finding the sheet music? Thank you! 😊😊

Wow!!!

Damn, that horn player is amazing!

Stunning arrangement and performance!👌

The arrangement sounds great, and the talent is definitely showcased, but I’m rather dissatisfied with the arrangement. Too reduced. I was hoping to hear the initial Mystic Circle of Maidens passage. And the entire march sequence was done away with entirely...

Oh god this sound like an entery orchestra.... WELL DONE!

Sure, it's a skillful extraction of the orchestral score and sound. But is the result good woodwind writing? I'm not convinced it is. It's a challenging showpiece for the players, but the skilled showmanship wears out after a while.

i clicked because the horn player is hot

Fantastic performance!

Bravo!

You were my favorite group at the Fischoff. You are amazing.

Fantastic arrangement and playing

Wow! This might be the best arrangement that I have ever seen of the Rite (other the Stravinsky's 4-hand piano arrangement). A piece so complex can be very difficult to arrange for such a small ensemble, but this one really made use of what it had, proving that The Rite of Spring can work on an ensemble that only allows for up to 5 notes at once.

Great arrangement and great playing well done!
