I've loved this ever since I first heard it in concert far to many years ago than I would like to admit.

[@mellcsicsila]

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.

[@cameroncomposes]

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

[@haxelkaxsel1198]

Ich mag Percy Gainger ❤❤❤

[@markovelikonja5399]

He has this enormous band sitting there. And seems to be using just the BRSO folks doing one on a part.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

That's my main question. What are they sitting there for?

[@rloomis3]

@@LyleFrancisDelp I hate when they do that. Sitting on stage for such a ridiculously long amount of time when you're not even involved in the piece in question is so tedious.

[@bobareebop]

I have never before seen a side-valve flugelhorn.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

It's not a flugelhorn, I think it's a cornet, but I wouldn't put it past Germans to make a side-valved anything.

[@cameroncomposes]

​@@LyleFrancisDelp it is definitely a rotary flugelhorn lol

[@Khargelius]

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.

[@jackwoodruff7889]

I was so sad when I clicked on this performance of this great piece with a top conductor only to find there are no saxes ☹

[@rloomis3]

Hundreds of times? Where do you live that there are that many opportunities for an orchestral saxophonist?

[@StinkinGoodAle3241]

Hey, at least he kept the alto-clarinet in there.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

What of the entire wind section sitting there in Bavarian garb?....Dirndls and such? Why are they even there?

[@lowe7471]

This was great. Thank you for sharing this.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

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.

[@jamesadams8304]

Such a strange interpretation of this masterwork.

[@AshleyGlenn]

This is totally devoid of the magic and wonder Grainger imbued it with. It has none of the sing-song quality it was meant to have. Thoroughly two dimensional - and without saxophones! This performance is one for the ages, and not for good reason.

[@jtrevino181]

Lincolnshire without saxophones is heresy.

[@reedbailey9425]

Oh god, no. So much to unpack here. The one that bothered me most: Horkstow needs to breathe! The phrases didn’t linger at all. Yikes!

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

12:30 And again....no close up of the baritone/euphonium soloist. ARGH!!!!

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Sorry, but this is the absolute most pointless performance of this magnificent work for winds I've ever heard. The inflections and are all wrong as is the lack of pointed articulations. I was left totally bored by the whole thing.

[@rloomis3]

Eh. I'd rather hear Frank Battisti conduct it. Or Frederick Fennell. (And, of course, with its regular instrumentation.)
