Während neun Festivaltagen treffen sich rund 1'500 Künstler aus aller Welt in Luzern, um sich an Musikwettbewerben zu messen oder Konzertabende zu gestalten.
Lovely tone on whatever instrument was playing at 7:48, sounds like a Tuba but I cannot believe it can play so beautifully in the upper register. Amazing how the brass was able to pick up the sting parts so nicely! Excellent!
I love the Black Dyke Band, everything they do is incredible. This and their rendition of "Metropolis 1927" have to be two of my favorite orchestral pieces I have ever heard.
I am so glad to have found this on RU-vid as I was privileged to be a personal friend of George Lloyd and his delightful wife Nancy. I have met many outstanding musicians but George was the most talented of them all.. As to English Heritage I recall George responding to complaints that his Royal Parks composition was not sufficiently difficult for championship level bands. The response was to write English Heritage. By the way I have scores for all of George's music for brass .and will get out English heritage to follow next time I listen to this excellent performance.
Such a nice story and great memory for you! May i ask if you have those scores on paper or maybe also digital? I would love to have those aswell! Masterpieces
I do not know what the adjudicator thought, but I think you captured the excitement of this piece of great music and the playing remained tidy.....thanks from Australia
Nice. Don't need the pedals though. Record it outside in the early evening. Lets see what you've really got. Different piece blowing against the cold air. I recommend The President for a tightness challenge.
