Shostakovich - Festive Overture (tr. Hunsberger)

[@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!

[@mountainsky4279]

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

[@benblessing]

Very very clean performance!

I was fortunate to hear them perform this at Carnegie Hall around the same time of this performance and they finished the concert with Candide Overture. What a treat.. Love the low brass :) Bravo!!

[@jakemiller3395]

That was an outstanding concert! I can't wait until they come back! Hopefully soon

[@KarenWheeless]

FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE!!!!! I LOVE DR. JUNKIN'S JOYFUL EXPRESSION as he conducts!!! That's what great music should do for us!!! HOOK 'EM, HORNS!!! 🤘🏻

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

[@timwatts1906]

Wow!!! Great ensemble and excellent conductor!!!!!

[@iny966]

Love this song. You all sound wonderful woodwinds ❤😊

[@gooseface2690]

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

[@frankvee3425]

This is a great transcription and spectacularly performed. Bravo!!!

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

[@djs2356]

Great Big Sound and still beautifully clear and distinct! Und they did it.

[@sactoindyfan]

Holy Mary Mother of God that was good! Goosebumps! 👏

[@paulroutledge4923]

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

[@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.

Is this the same group that went to Carnegie?

[@davjpeg]

[@densim2000]

Is that an Eppelsheim Contrabass Clarinet?

This is a rough performance. A lot of hacked notes with entrances. Woodwinds saved the day luckily with their clean runs. Listen to Revelli’s live performance of this work. It’s that next level of preparation. This is a well known piece, so it has to be solid. You don’t want to play it average. UNT has a pretty clean live performance as well.

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
