That’s a very true statement I had a come to Jesus moment a few months ago when I heard probably the most stellar wind ensemble performance of all time
I've listened to many renditions of this piece, this is my absolute fave. Critical tuning and a conductor who presents this as an homage to it's composer. Pretty damn good sound engineering too.
University of Texas Austin wind ensemble just knocked it out of the park this past Friday with the Cavaliers drum and bugle corps (some members) as their antiphonal brass during the Appian Way movement. Such an inspiring performance.
Apart from an impeccable opera conductor, mtro. Noseda is also an expert of the italian symphonic repertory. Bravi tutti. N.B. I would like to add the last part of the work, the 4th. "I pini di Via Appia".
it is unbelievable that in the 3th moviment the trumpet play one the most famous solo. and there is not any moment that the camera take a close of the trumpet player 🤷
I known this conductor, he was young , he was to begining fo his carrier, finish second but he was for me and for th orchestra the first , jury wasn't in the same idea, something wrong under paper perhaps , but now i try to write him and he don't answer ! then no happy
