As is proper! Very few clarinetists get to play this, and far fewer get to play the solo. I got lucky and got to perform the solo at a regional concert, and that's easily one of the highlights of my musical career. Brilliant performance! Personally feel it could have used more vibrato from the embouchure, but that's 100% personal preference.

I first really noticed Rhapsody in Blue when I was working for United Airlines, and they used it for their commercials. Gershwin’s piece seemed absolutely perfect in marrying the buzz of Manhattan with the exuberance of travel. However, only after seeing this amazing performance with the young peoples’ expressions of determination mixed with joy… only after viewing this (over and over and over) could I really, clearly, and deeply feel the diversity of each instrument, the complexity needed to produce such glorious sound, and the genius of Gershwin. I will NEVER again hear Rhapsody in Blue without remembering the extreme talent Adrian Brendle and all of these young people brought to this triumphant performance. Overwhelming!

The man is just feeling music, he's been practicing this piece for how ever long he put in the effort. That face is the face of focus of expression, he knows that there will rarely be another chance to spearhead the entire orchestra for such a masterfully written piece.

We attended a performance at the Sydney Opera House (Sydney Symphony Orchestra in the refurbished Concert Hall) a couple of weeks ago. That really would take some beating! Superb!

Magnificent performance, they know they are making musical history just by the looks on their faces, also a moment of silence to the piano that was just beaten to death.

My favourite piece of music played so brilliantly by the orchestra and special mention to the fantastic pianist. I too thought that the audience should have given them a standing ovation at the end, I would certainly have done so had I been there - just an awesome performance!

For those of us who love contemporary music, such as rock, pop, R&B, and many others, how popular could these types of music be without George Gershwin and his impact he shared with the world?

I have never heard such a brilliant performance of this American Classic! The pianist who had it all memorised was absolutely brilliant but so were all the members of the orchestra. It was great to see and hear so many accomplished yet young performers, it really gives me heart as to the direction that music is going. Thank you one and all, you were fabulous!
