I love how Prof. Junkin is conducting this completely by memory. Great performance!!!

[@maestromuffin1]

nice job - great tempos. It's wonderful to see such a joyous conductor!!!! AND not having his face stuck in a score - a man after my own heart!

Bravo!! Could easily have been part of the featured soundtrack to a mid 20th-century Hollywood western.

Outstanding tempo, dynamic contrasts and overall intensity, even in the pianissimo!

My highschool has this piece and that sax line is killing me

[@oliveraston6900]

Wonderful performance. But why all the empty seats?

[@nevertooldtolearnmore]

Hadn't you noticed that the public is afraid of real music, the kind that doesn't come out of a guitar and a sound engineeer's hands.

[@paulroutledge4923]

That was likely of cleanest I ever heard this played at any tempo!

[@densim2000]

Is that an Eppelsheim Contrabass Clarinet?

[@benjamineubank7999]

Is this the same group that went to Carnegie?

[@paolodiamante1884]

Nice video, thanks and like. Did you notice that among the musicians there are not fat persons ? It, maybe, means that they went ALL from rich families not obliged to eat junk food. From Roma Italia
