Alfred Reed (arr.by Koichi Ohashi): Armenian Dances Part 1 (Orchestra Version)
What image does the word "Wind Ensemble" conjure up in your mind? You may have experienced it as a "cultural club activity", a page from your youth, or you may have seen it on television. Some of the pieces played by wind and percussion instruments, which rarely include strings, are "super masterpieces" full of beautiful melodies that are too good to be left as mere "memories of youth". This CD is a dream project to perform such "super masterpieces" in brass band with a full orchestra. The guest musicians are Nobuya Sugawa (saxophone) and Saika Sato (euphonium), both stars of the wind instrument world, and the CD features a selection of works that the composers themselves have arranged for orchestra, as well as newly arranged works. This is a live recording of a hotly anticipated programme for all brass band fans under the baton of the Kanagawa Philharmonic Orchestra and its honorary conductor, Shigeo Genda.

弦楽器が加わることで壮大なこの曲に繊細さとか豪華さが加わってすごく良い…！やりたい…！

[@sintarou800]

以前は、レスピーギやチャイコフスキーなど、管弦楽のアレンジ曲を吹奏楽で演奏する事が多く、批判も色々ありましたが、原曲への理解と畏敬の念を広めた事は間違い無いと思います。これからは逆に、クラシックファンに吹奏楽の愉しさを感じて貰えたら、素晴らしいし、意義のある交流だと思いますね🎵🎶

[@eennaoz]

高校生の時、最後のコンクールの自由曲で青春をかけた一曲です　30年経ちますが色褪せない素晴らしい曲　管弦楽アレンジ素敵です✨✨

[@user-fb1oz9uv9l]

やばっ！こんなに変わるとは！これはアルメの解釈変わる！すばらしいを越えた！ プロオケが演奏するとこうなるんか…！

[@ningendame3571]

弦を加えることで管楽器の負担が減り、より表情が豊かになってるのがうかがえます。でも、サックスやユーフォは決して「弦の代用」でないことも示されたと思います。 　とはいえ、この曲中学時代に苦しめられた（笑）曲でして、よくチューバのロングトーンにコントラバスのピチカートを加えるところとか、Ⅴ‐Ⅰでシードーと吹かされるところがあり、単なる苦痛かつ雑音になってしまってたのですが、うまい方がやると「Aリードってすごい！」となりますね。しかも、そこを大事にされた編曲、さすがです。

[@user-rd1xc7ro7n]

ブラス版より繊細さがあって素敵ですね。Saxを吹いていた者からするとブラス版の方が好き！

[@user-eu4vx1mp3g]

素晴らしい演奏ですがやっぱアルメニアン・ダンスは吹奏楽曲だなって感じ。リードすごいな。 けどオケ特有の素晴らしい表現があって最高。

[@seike1299]

6:34 現田さん飛んだ～

[@user-ut8ot5gd8l]

私が中学生の頃、Aリードの曲はとても流行りましたね いろんな学校が定期演奏会などで演奏していました

[@foxtrainzenko]

めちゃ懐かしい

[@user-dn7dv9jk4k]

吹奏楽の名曲をオーケストラで演奏することによって、表現がより豊かになり、一般の人にもより豊かなレパートリーを提示できる。素晴らしい事です。願わくは名曲中の名曲、ホルストの「第１組曲」を取り上げることを望みます。 　Gordon Jacobの編曲が有名ですが、拙編曲（Music bellsから出版もしています）も検討に入れていただきたいです。

[@user-ox6sv4yf1c]

演奏はとても素晴らしいのですが、「ホイ！私のナザン」の冒頭のSAXソロは他の編曲と同様にやはりチェロなのですね。。。 個人的にはここはコールアングレかなと思います。 昨年大阪フィルが金井さんの編曲でやった時はコールアングレで、こちらの方が曲にハマってる感じしました。 ちなみに大フィルでは、「オセロ」「春の猟犬」「フェスティヴァル・ヴァリエイションズ」「シンフォニア・ノビリッシマ」等も過去に演奏されました。これらも録音していただけると嬉しいです。

[@user-di6yy4zp1h]

弦と管での音量バランス難しそう。チェロソロはマイクでなんとかしてた？

[@user-rr4ke8rt5d]

素晴らしい企画ですが、この曲に限っては、原曲が「吹奏楽」ならではの完成度の高い作品なので、違和感を感じます。リード先生の曲でしたら、「音楽祭のプレリュード」は、作曲者自身のオーケストラ版があると聴いたことがあるので(大昔のバンドジャーナル誌のインタビューで読んだ)、取り上げて欲しいと思いました。

これを聞いた感想 「もう吹奏楽いらなくね？」
