Anyway, when bands …
Anyway, when bands say orchestras “suck” it is merely because they have never heard them play in a striving group that likes making lovely music. In the professional world of music, the band members will ultimately always have to stick onto orchestras, since symphonies are so popular. Basically I feel that you are just plain ignorant if you feel orchestras “suck”, since they are the backbone to any symphony.

This is how i feel …
This is how i feel about bands in respect to orchestras. orchestras (which i play in) sound pretty bad when in school orchestras- but this is expected… its very hard for us to sound strong until you take playing serious, which begins later on if you really enjoy playing- joining out of school orchestras/symphonies.

Great piece. …
Great piece. Mistakes at 6:05 6:50 and 7:35. I would like to see this with a more talented orchestra.

…didn’t quite …
…didn’t quite reach. If the conductor wanted this performance to be a little less energetic than usual, that is fine but it may not be the best choice for this piece. Yes, I am a musician and I have played this piece several times

If that is the way …
If that is the way that the conductor wishes to have the piece be performed, then that is his opinion and he is a expert professional conductor so he has the wisedom to make that decision. I respect his extensive knowledge but I personally believe (along with many other posters) that more intensity would have brought more energy. The Pines of the Appian Way movement is known to be some of the most intense music ever and I like it best when performed at full power, which this video approached but

you are comparing …
you are comparing the asian orchestra to european,or american orch…. how about if that is the way he wants to performe that beautiful piece…..dont compare…. are you a musician yourself?
sorry for my previous comment….

ABSOLUTELY NOT! …
ABSOLUTELY NOT! That is an extremely rude and uncalled-for comment. My comments are based on my experiences with the Pines of Rome in understanding the different interpretations of how it has been performed and I just don’t particuarly like this interpretation of the Pines of Rome. My comments are in no way based off of racial opinions and I hate racism and I take it personally when you attack me by calling me a racist. I hope that you understand that you are out of line by saying that comment

Yes, I have that …
Yes, I have that recording! If I am not mistaken, it was used in Fantasia 2000. That orchestra did an AMAZING rendition of this Pines of rome Arrangement. Superb clarity, balance and stamina in the brass section and the orchestra as a whole.

Okay, so lets talk. …
Okay, so lets talk. Have you ever heard the old Chicago Symphony? With Adolph Herseth and Jay Friedman and as many would consider the best brass section ever? That Orchestra was a wall of sound that would pummel and penetrate. If you can honestly say that, you have never heard a good orchestra.

I wasn’t replying to you, I was replying to jhammis. I do have to admit that this performance lacks something.

I never said that …
I never said that bands are better than orchestras and I do not think that the Langham Creek recording is better than pro orchestras. I have listened to the Chicago Symphony, Berlin Phil, Philadelphia Orchestra, and many more recordings of the Pines of Rome and nobody can play it better than those symphony orchestras have. I only said that the Langham Creek recording had great intensity while the Osaka Phil left something to be desired (as said by many people who commented on this video before).

I’m sorry that this …
I’m sorry that this is what you construed from my comment, as I certainly don’t mean that in any way. I am in more orchestras than I am bands and I personnally appreciate symphony orchestras much more. There is no doubt that symphony orchestras are here to stay, which is great because without them I would be out of a job. This recording shows moments of virtuosity and some of noticable misteaks. I am definately not the first person to comment on this video saying that it could use more intensity
December 4th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Are you saying that …
Are you saying that orchestras are compared to bands? Yeah, orchestras, even pro orchestras suck compared to even middle school and high school bands!!! You probably want the orchestra to be driven to oblivion and extinction and the only the band will remain supreme. That is probably what you want to see happen. Only bands in the professional concert world, no orchestras.

A symphonic band …
A symphonic band has the saxophone and baritone families which an orchestra does not. Also a full symphonic band has more wind players of the shared instruments between the orchestra and band realms, giving a broader and more varied use of the wind timbres and colors. A symphonic band has more power and bronze making it much more ideal for the Pines of Rome, especially the 4th movement. An orchestra will never ring the human musical antenna as much as a full symphonic band!
