[@7mrbon]

Heavenly beautiful, thanks for sharing

[@mikhail2406able]

Thank you one million and thirty-five thousand times for this recording. I have prayed I would see the day that this specific performance would be available in full.. even for a short time.... and you were indeed the God-send!

[@jeancovarrubias8955]

Best version ever, thank you. 👍

[@windsofnagual]

3:30 Fanfare for an uncommon woman

[@kadienichols8912]

Beautiful performance! Great orchestra. Congrats!

[@jslasher1]

A superb interpretation. I uploaded this on what would have been Copland's 120th birthday. God Bless You, Aaron!

À altura dos bravos combatentes, pela marcialidade.

[@ParkerMoyes]

Dang! I want to play the timpani part at 5:22. That looks like a LOT of hard work, but also heaps of fun.

[@jayplezandcoraregaming6571]

wow

[@Andrew-Crust]

The composer is "Joan Tower" without an "s" :)

[@tomaswalsh-gomez8042]

Triumph! Go Space X!

[@pieropoleggi7615]

No trumpet women…no horn women…no percussion women…no trombone women… no brass women… what a racist orchestra… only a woman director: is she the uncommon woman?

[@plekkchand]

Next, Fanfare for an Average Trans.

[@anngrogan6343]

Fabulous!

[@danmart1879]

Sorry, but the fanfare for the uncommon woman has none of the spirit and sizzle of Fanfare for the Common Man. Thunbs Down.

[@jek9911]

@Danmart1879... totally correct. Was disappointed in this Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman... maybe music for the common variety is better.

[@HermanIngram]

That dude is a lousy conductor.

[@sophelet]

That conductor is not a "dude." That conductor is a renowned conductor, championed by Leonard Bernstein, and internationally held in esteem. I'm curious: are you a conductor, or do you play in an orchestra? What is your instrument?

[@HermanIngram]

@@sophelet I’m a pianist. Piano playing is much more difficult than waving a stick. There are countless male conductors that are far more competent than this one, but they don’t get work because they aren’t a politically-fetishized minority group. If orchestras think they are going to sell more tickets with this kind of tripe, they are sorely mistaken.

[@randyhines2883]

Man, what are u talking about. U may not like the conductor but what does any of what you say have to with anything? The only fetishizing here is coming from you. Stop trolling. Go elsewhere to get your conservo and irrelevant ya-yas on. Why must you tear others down to feel better about yourself?

[@HermanIngram]

@@randyhines2883 Why must they promote inferior female composers and inferior female composers?

[@HermanIngram]

@@sallygreenfield6991 Okay, Sally. Don’t become hysterical.
