I have heard many performances of the Pines of Rome, from Brass bands to full orchestra, all in there own way have been delightful. This performance to my ears is perfectly balanced a great performance. My hearty congratulations to Conductor and Orchestra. Bravo. ❤😊
A decent performance ruined by the cacophony of bird calls at 17:21 . It should be a single nightingale providing delicate enhancement of the atmosphere. If this conductor performs the Pastoral Symphony he probably adds ducks, crows and a tuba as a bittern.
It's a solid performance. I'm always shocked that people don't lay more at the feet of the bone solo in mv2. In this it is too blended in my opinion, and Chicago really is the only one that lays it all out. Make the strings work for it. But a good work, great job.
