Not so happy. Iit comes from is very sad and heartbreaking ballet. Wife loses a bracelet at the mask ball and husband accuses her of infidelity. She denies to no avail, he doesn't believe her innocence, abuses her and then poisons her to find out soon after that she was telling the truth

[@Bill_Woo]

These are kids - college kids! To believe they would summon that discipline and decorum - I would not have believed it without seeing it here. Salute, Conductor Kalam. And the execution is impeccable. And no one cracked under the soloist pressure. No, instead they excelled. To put it mildly. Forget the fact of the youth; this is a spectacular, top flight concert performance.

[@Bill_Woo]

And the rich sound balance of this ... how?! The tuba mix itself is perfection. And I stress again, several roles were done by one alone - with the notes, the volume and touch, and match to the rhythm ... all truly superb.
