One of the great classics of band literature... I love this piece everytime I hear it.

@cameroncomposes 27 дней назад

A lot of extremely negative comments in here, but this is all for fun. It's an experimental arrangement without saxophones. Just appreciate that Sir Simon Rattle is paying any respect at all to the wind band world

@jchomedog2887 22 дня назад

His performance is okay. People expect a lot more since he’s a world class conductor and they performed sub par to that of most major universities. This music was performed because Percy Grainger is a giant composer and musician. Sir Simon likes odd composers that are eccentric. Percy was definitely one of the greatest musical geniuses of the 19th Century. He was not only probably the best composer of his time but also one of the best piano virtuosos of his time. Any great conductor would be dumb not to conduct this piece. It’s like saying no to Holst or Bach or Beethoven or Mozart or Schubert or Debussy, etc. Grainger is a staple composer that every serious musician should study.

@theosmith7060 20 дней назад

I understand the sentiment, but it's precisely because it's an orchestra the quality of the BRSO and a conductor with the prestige of Rattle that makes it squirmy. Lincolnshire is amongst the finest wind works ever written; for many orchestra fans, this might be their first and only exposure to Grainger, and that's disappointing because this performance is underbaked. Sure it's got its moments and it's well-played, but it's not a great representation of the work (for reasons stated throughout these comments), and with such a high profile set of musicians that's unfortunate.

@Jonathanhsax 19 дней назад

If Grainger didn't want saxophones in the music, he wouldn't have written for them. They play an extremely important role in the work and without them, the piece is missing a huge part of its character. This goes for any other instrument in the arrangement, as well. It's all written very intentionally.

@cameroncomposes 15 дней назад

@@Jonathanhsax oh please I’m a composer, don’t sit here and try to lecture me about authorial intent. Pieces are adapted for new instrumentations every single day, for better or for worse. The Canadian Brass playing Little Fugue in G Minor arranged for brass quintet doesn’t in any ways disrespect Bach, and thus Simon Rattle programming a different instrumentation of Lincolnshire Posy in no way disrespects Grainger. If anything, it is a demonstration of Rattle’s respect for him that the projects was undertaken at all.

@brianeisemann6352 14 дней назад

@@cameroncomposes You can't compare arranging Bach vs. Grainger. The saxophone was Grainger's favorite band instrument, the one he said was most like the human voice. Lincolnshire Posy without saxophone is like a fish without water.

Love seeing all the people who are all of a sudden world class musicians and conductors to comment on a performance that had minimal rehearsal time and was for an education broadcast for the wind ensemble idiom and to highlight the BRSO on their educational outreach. Anyway, despite no saxophones, this was a fun performance.

Sir: And now we have "purists" everywhere sharing their vast personal knowledge of the piece, the movements, the composer, etc.

@danieldekok6949 21 день назад

I get the feeling he wanted to take the last movement just a "shade* faster, but the sound is so lush it would be a shame if he did. Lord Melbourne was rich and full, and reminded me of listening to Fennell talk in workshop rehearsal many years ago about asking a man in a pub to sing "Lord Melbourne". The man in his sotted state got thru the first verse, and promptly passed out in his ale.

@Khargelius Месяц назад

As a saxophonist, this reminds me of the hundreds of times I sat through an orchestra performance only to play a few notes. But never through a performance like this where there are saxophone parts but the conductor chose to do an arrangement different from the original.

@jackwoodruff7889 Месяц назад

I was so sad when I clicked on this performance of this great piece with a top conductor only to find there are no saxes ☹

@mellcsicsila 26 дней назад

This is an amazing interpretation. It connects the piece to the trends of its time. I hear elements of Bartok, Kodaly, Hindemith, especially. Such focus on line and space. It’s amazing what can happen when you have a brilliant musician on the podium instead of some college band director trying to show off how fast his band can play.

@jchomedog2887 24 дня назад

This interpretation is okay. I still think Eugene Corporon is the best conductor for wind band. He has an incredible recording and a live performance of this work with the University of North Texas Wind Symphony. Simon does a couple things well, but for me this was a rough performance. A little sub par for a musician at his caliber, but then again this is one of the hardest pieces in all of music to perform well with any ensemble. I do give credit for some of his music liberties.

@bobmatt5175 20 дней назад

What recordings / performances are you thinking of when you say a college band director trying to show off how fast a band can play? This isn’t an overly challenging piece and I don’t really see bands play it fast to show off their technique (also not sure what the previous commentator is talking about there are much harder pieces, including ones which are standard repertoire). There are a number of musical and interpretative challenges though - and I honestly don’t think Rattle handled it well. Listen to this piece done by H Robert Reynolds of Frederick Fennell and I think you will hear a huge difference

@mellcsicsila 20 дней назад

@@bobmatt5175 well, I’ve been in groups that have been conducted by both Fennell and Reynolds and worked with a lot of the “luminaries” of the band world and I still prefer Rattle’s thoughtful devotion to the line and sense of color and rhythmic clarity . But thanks for trying to “educate” me about band music.

@bobmatt5175 20 дней назад

@@mellcsicsila You never answered my question. You can prefer Rattle’s but to critique band directors for rushing through this piece to show off technique is bizarre as it simply… doesn’t happen. This particular recording also simply objectively has rhythmic alignment issues, to say nothing about articulation matching.

The rhythms don't always have a great feel, but mvts. 4 & 6 certainly come off the best. I don't know how much Rattle or German bands have Grainger in their repertoire, but it's nice to hear them do it. I think having all of the basses playing is a mistake. FYI I see clips in the recommendations where all of the groups are playing marches together, so I think Rattle is just highlighting the Bavarian Radio winds for this.
