Was this performed in a church? Love it!
Yes! Where I founded ROCO!!!
Bonjour C’ est une belle prestation de ce Libertango. Cette pièce de Piazzolla sonne vraiment très bien! Bravo aux quatre bassonistes
僕はファニーメンデルスゾーンのこの曲が大好きでとても気に入っています(^^♪。
Very nice performance of a beautiful piece! I am very active on Twitter, mostly politically, and as a kind of "recreation" I regularly post historical tweets - "This day in history" sort of tweets - etc. And today - May 31 - happens to be Louise Farranc's birthday! I haven't heard of her before, and even my classically trained mother hasn't. I'm all the happier to have discovered her. Together with her astonishing biography I shared this video with the Twitterverse. Great orchestra! Thank you again for that performance!
Thanks! Andy Bradley at Wire Road I. Houston but it is a live recording so no post mixing!
Simply Fantastic! Also, who ever did the post sound mixing did an excellent job!
I wonder if he and Gerald Finzi knew one another.
Tuyệt vời lắm . Xin cảm ơn mọi người .
Well done.
Who are the performers?
I recognize 2 of them: Audrey Andrist on piano and Nathan Williams on clarinet.
Oh, if you watch the video, the performers’ names are interspersed throughout.
Why everyone only plays this tune “ horse racing” ?
What an ironical fact that Fanny couldn't compose more orchestral music because of her condition of a high class woman in the XIX century. She was very talented, but a woman of her class could only compose to "entertain" her family and friends in Sunday parties at home. And her brother Robert having success and recognition as a composer. Fortunately things have changed nowadays with prodigies like Alma Deutscher.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Buenisimo
Que buenooo suscripta de una a tu canal te invito al mio saludos desde Argentina de una cantante de tango y compositora 😊
So so happy you performed and recorded this gem!
What a shame that Fanny's composing and her knowledge of musical form wasn't allowed to expand and grow like her brothers. She obviously had a great talent, but there's a lack of cohesion in a lot of her music that saddens me because I know a lot of that comes from her not being trained/not having an outlet for her music other than her home. She was able to do whatever she wanted, but nothing hones form better than knowing that ones music will be in front of a skeptical public. That being said, you can hear the talent and the shared ideas the two of them had. I heard several quotes in this piece from her brothers music(Though I am sure they both stole from each other and worked on each others ideas in their own pieces.)
I have literally never seen so many bassoonists in one place. As a beginner bassoonist myself, I really needed to see this.
The piece is called Horse Racing..lots of love from Uganda
This is so underrated! Awesome job👏👏
❤love it!❤
Nếu phải hát du cho con ngủ mặc định tôi luôn hát bèo dạt mây trôi Bài dân ca ngọt ngào này đã đi vào giấc ngủ ngon của bao em bé Việt Nam
Inesquecível!!😊😊
Gorgeous piece, and incredible playing! Thanks for sharing.
really liked this group. I',m always extremely moved listening to this "overture". Also, wish I could hear full Mozart Masonic music, it is very beautiful.. Mozart always floors me.

I love it Rachel. Beautiful.
Can’t put into words how good this sounds. You did a fantastic job!
The erhu would be right at home with Irish trad music. Very much like the fiddle
Great job ❤❤❤❤😊🍎
This is the most invested I've been in a game of chess in my entire life. What a fantastic and novel piece!
Very nice work by all involved.
It’s a shame this work is rarely on concert programs, in fact I’m sure a lot of orchestras have never played it. It’s really hard to come by even in college orchestras I’ve only heard it once.
Great job!! I really like it ❤❤😊
The Konga definitely adds some vibe
Wow beautiful one Very cool peace
Thank you❤
Amazing sound I didn’t not expect that
Wow.
Damn
Oh, love the trumpets!
Gosh I love this symphony. The conductor looks like a palm tree in a hurricane but I guess the gang is used to that, because they are all together. Great show!
Where is this particular music piece from?
This is from the final movement of Louise Farrenc's Symphony No. 1!
BRAVO!! Outstanding and very moving...
Once again I fall down the rabbit hole of this video. Curse you, ROCO.
Ước chi được ngồi nghe trực tiếp
I like his music so much! Proud that he is from Texas!
Did everyone catch the bass sneeze at 3:10?
This is wonderful!
