Ruslan & Ludmilla Overture - Robert Childs & Cory Band

[@kandgball]

I was privileged to hear the band qualify at the area , Then , to hear this outstanding performance, with Alan Moŕrison playing the solo part just so close to where we were sitting 100% magic

[@rickydonutrm3165]

I have heard many famous orchestras play this, but this performance leaves them all for dead. Magnificent!

[@TheSproutarian]

Yes, maybe the best performance of this there ever was.

[@robturchick7416]

That...is how it is done! This is when a band turns into an instrument. Perfection!

[@MrOldlistener]

The articulation...! so fast and coordinated - absolute mastery.

[@steck7927]

I watch and listen to this over and over ...simply awesome! Would have loved to have been there!

Дирижер сам шикарный баритонист, как и его сын Дэвид в этом оркестре!

Without doubt colossal stuff. Must surely be unbeatable, and I am simply a listener. Excellent stuff!

[@trethtower]

[@leonberger9495]

Божечки какой шикарный оркестр !!! Какая сыгранность и виртуознось. Просто фантастика !!! А баритонисты супер техничны (2:40-3:10)и звучание эталонное. Да там все виртуозы 👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@joesoutomusic]

God what I would give to sit in on just one concert....

[@Dim6347]

М.Глинка удивился бы такому виртуозному исполнению одними духовыми инструментами. Великая увертюра русского гения! Оркестр шикарный, дирижер и сын Шилдс - баритонисты высшего уровня! Спасибо всем за видео!

Отлично звучит!👍 Виртуозное исполнение👏

[@michaelwenhold8117]

Wow!! This is so crisp and clean!! Great job!!

[@nickyork8901]

Amazing, still sounds musical and clear at 20% faster speed than most good orchestras play it.

[@thomasevans9566]

There's at least one orchestra that will give them a run for their money, though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKrbamyPmK2Xf7M

[@neilmackay9307]

OUTSTANDING!!!

[@Psilva598]

Que maravilha!!!!

[@keithsmith3238]

This is a pleasure to listen to and Classic Fm don't regard brass to be good enough to play on their progs

[@christopherfinch3129]

I tried for years to get ClassicFM interested in Brass Band. I even managed to get a Wednesday Listener Concert of Brass Band back in 2003. When I collected my CDs they gave me a further 2 CDs 'as we won't have any use for them'. Still they persist in playing Padstow Lifeboat..the only bit of Brass Band music they have! I gave up listening to Classic FM ages ago.

[@TheSorub]

+Christopher Finch To be honest listening to some of their musical choices I don't think Classic FM is good enough for Top brass bands!!, try radio 2 or even sometimes radio 3

[@christopherfinch3129]

Yes.Hrard an old BDM recording of McCann playing Rusulka the other day on R3 morning. Was stunned as it was Rob Cowan! He even said on air he was going to buy the CD. Wow.

[@christopherfinch3129]

a mac​. There is 2 hours on BBC Radio Yorkshire (I think) every Sunfay afternoon. I miss it because of rehearsal and food shopping! Can 'listen again' but never find time. Not got into online listening yet.

Missed the tymp part at the end!

[@gugabrass]

wow

[@miyaish]

I was surprised that it was too fast and I checked if it was double speed, but I was surprised again at normal speed.

[@mikewainwright5500]

Absolutely superb performance!! Can one get closer to perfection?

[@cainanweber1676]

if you listen to this on 2 speed it's crazy lol

[@stuntdouble3956]

Amazing

[@FERNANDOGARCIA-xs9lp]

Try doing it in the original key.

[@albrechtvonbrandenburg2406]

Why?

[@hiimrezgaming9885]

This is played in original key i think.

[@divvy1400yam600]

This is the second brass band I have heard who clearly play this too fast. Marvellous musicians though they are i reckon they have eaten too much tripe and onions !

[@TomPls]

Sadly this is not the only piece that is played too fast. Many great bands want to show their provess, and in doing so do the music an injustice. This has become almost a meme for brass bands, as many bands are capable of performing pieces at the same level or better than many symphonic orchestras, yet don't. The focus on competitions, playing faster and better than other bands, is a blessing and a curse. Many bands get inspired and improve, but in turn often focus on making music into tests.

[@martinicarbine]

@@TomPls A very astute comment sir. I agree as an ex conductor of a Championship Brass Band for several years in the past Yet the Technique is very spellbinding and this Overture is an Orchestral Show piece anyway. This performance is certainly florid dynamic exuberant and breathtaking in every sense and certainly shows off the bands technical prowess.

[@Dim6347]

@@TomPls Согласен с Вами. В России многие военные оркестры играют технически виртуозно и скоро, но при этом теряют художественность произведений. Увы, музыка не спорт и в ней есть традиции исполнения.
