First rate. But you sort of know that ahead of time seeing as it is CSO brass members. I have always felt that this type of music was rather challenging. I was fortunate enough to be one of the young musicians at the 1961 "Illinois Summer Youth Music" at the University of Illinois at Urbana. There were enough of us to form two orchestras. One of our pieces was Halsey Steven's "4 Pieces for Orchestra". I think ours was perhaps its one and only performance and our scores were handwritten. Many years later I found out he obviously derived this from four of the five pieces in his "5 Pieces for Band". And that our conductor was a close personal friend of Stevens. So now I know why we had that difficult piece of music to deal with as 8th grade age students. And that "other" orchestra had easier things like a medley from "The Sound of Music". But rehearsing and performing it made me much more interested in this type of music.
Sounds great, guys. Top drawer playing from everyone.
They played this piece a lot better than it deserved.
Terrific ensemble playing! Five great brass players. Bravo!!!!
This comfort is immeasurable
A showcase for excellence in every aspect of musicianship and brass playing.
Impecable performance! BRAVO.
Thank you for your great playing!
