Oh man… that contrabassoon at the start of Thunder Gate… such perfection

Bravo .. don't change anything. Actually, a little late for that anyway since this was 2013. Speaking of time lines, I was in the 1966 U of I Symphony Europe and Soviet Union Tour Band. There is a recording on KZbin at the U of I Student Union and what a difference the recording world has come in 47 years?? First off, it's in mono and we did Vivaldi's Concerto for 2 trumpets, only the conductor, Fred Ebbs, had the creative idea of using 6 (2 in front and 2 on each side) which he arranged. It worked well, however, in mono, it sounded pretty much like 2. Anyway, this recording is so clean and as close to perfection as one could get. Bravo again.
