What an incredible French Horn section! A stellar performance.

[@leopirdas6577]

French horns were going after it

You are right, but the cameras were very poorly coordinated with their parts.

[@leopirdas6577]

I’m not a fan of the balance of this band, too much woodwind, not enough brass. Especially for a piece of music that is going through the Russian Campaign of 1812. This piece was commissioned by Tsar Alexander I, written by Tchaikovsky, both to mark the consecration of the new Cathedral to Christ the Savior, and to play back the war in which Russia defeated the French. I played French Horn for almost 8 years, and been a Marine for almost one year, and following the President’s Own for almost 4 years, I feel safe in saying my opinion. One thing to note about Russian music, they use Rubato (slowing down and speeding up), tonal contrast (difference in sounds to show musical progression) and dynamic contrast (going between loud and soft and loud to emphasize certain parts of music) together, in order to more richly demonstrate the point of the music. Tchaikovsky was a Russian composer, and wrote several great pieces of music, all of which demand rubato, tonal contrast, and dynamic contrast to the highest degree. The interpretation was okay, but nowhere near enough Rubato or dynamic contrast for a Russian piece, (especially for Tchaikovsky), it’s amazing playing, but it’s not my favorite performance of this piece. The balance of the band itself was very woodwind heavy, even in the fanfare, which ruined the tonal contrast that helps this piece progress.

Sit down little boy, and listen. You might learn something.

[@SiFiClark]

Its the standard mil band arrangement mate...get some manuscript and do it your way.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

@@SiFiClark Actually, it's not the standard arrangement, which was made by Mayhew Lake several decades ago. It's a more recent transcription made especially for the US Marine Band.

[@SiFiClark]

@@LyleFrancisDelp Oh fair enough my bad..thanks for that mate

[@12345678939218]

Realy well played but the sound is poor, missing the tuba for richer bass sounds.

[@dmitrishostakovich7561]

10:26 There is a tuba player in the right side

[@horacioalbertonovello1559]

Buenísimo

[@bensexton7350]

What a tremendous insult to the tuna players lol

[@fredmitchell6185]

Agreed

[@leopirdas6577]

I think what they’re saying is that the tuba sound isn’t coming through in playback.

[@gregorkrause]

this version is awesome especially with the fake sound effect cannons sounding off-stage 9:14-11:21

[@196cupcake]

Maybe I'm jaded, but to me, part of the point to all of this is to say "if we can pull off something this hard, when it has zero practical benefit, then you should consider what we're capable of when it is something we consider important."

[@charlesmallo]

They played all the notes but they didn't make music, so it was as exciting as watching grass grow.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Could you please explain in what way they did not make music?

[@charlesmallo]

@@LyleFrancisDelp bit hard to explain in what's not my primary language ;-), but making music is making the score live rather than just playing the notes. Mind you, making the score live is the conductor's job.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

@@charlesmallo I understand that, but could you please be specific, rather than so general. It's easy to say what you say, but putting it into concrete ideas and methods is a bit more difficult. I think the band played it beautifully, but the outdoor acoustic does take something from the overall effect.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

@@charlesmallo I mean...it’s easy to sit back in your armchair and criticize a great ensemble like this, but what exactly, without vague generalizations, should they have done differently?

[@victormora8391]

Sounds pretty good to me considering many of the parts were written for stringed instruments!
