The rawness of the original sung section feels sanitized here. It's just not possible for an improvement on the original - it's too complex to rework it into something as powerful. This is interesting but what I found in the first recording was jaw dropping.
Hats off to the great musicians and orchestration/arrangement of the beautiful Pat Metheny /Lyle Mays composition. Just look/hear what these great artists/musicians have inspired in others.
Yes, indeed. I also thanks RU-vid discovered this today, maybe you'll like it, to me they are amazing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xLS3GP5LtV4.html If so, enjoy!
I will say that since Pat and Lyle transposed their material songbook to date at then the late 90’s, wonderful things like this began to sprout up all over the world !
Bravo. This performance captures the energy, drive and urgency with which PMG performs this piece. I never thought I’d hear an ensemble pull this off but you have proven me wrong. Congratulations. And thanks 🙂
Like I said in previous comments, I'm still listening to this on my way to work at least twice a week as I think this is just perfect. These young musicians really have something to be proud of and I wish them nothing but best in their future endevours. Bravo!
