One of the great classics of band literature... I love this piece everytime I hear it.
-
Excellent woodwinds! Brisk Young Sailor is so fun with those runs
-
Very well played, and I have to confess that hearing LP without Grainger's beloved saxophones is strange. I'm still enjoying it though.
-
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
-
I've loved this ever since I first heard it in concert far to many years ago than I would like to admit.
-
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.
-
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.
-
He has this enormous band sitting there. And seems to be using just the BRSO folks doing one on a part.
-
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.
-
09:48 Right....During one of the most iconic baritone/euphonium solos in the wind literature, the videographer does a close up of just about everyone EXCEPT for the soloist. Tyipcal.
-
This arrangement clearly has some wrong notes in it... Like how is 13:10 a minor chord
-
Ich mag Percy Gainger ❤❤❤
-
i hoped the TV station showed the kids so obviously playing the mallet percussions too
-
Lincolnshire without saxophones is heresy.
-
Such a strange interpretation of this masterwork.
-
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.
-
What of the entire wind section sitting there in Bavarian garb?....Dirndls and such? Why are they even there?
-
This was great. Thank you for sharing this.
-
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.

I have never before seen a side-valve flugelhorn.
