May 26, 2009 - i might be wrong, but during bydlo isn't the snare a little late? isn't it supposed to come at 3:08? i could be wrong, but in my band the snare came in right before the main tune, not during the ending of it.

May 27, 2009 - So true, like his brain cells can't concentrate on this exciting and jolly piece! I have some difficulties too as I am stoned rite now, simply damn terrific, Mussorgsky and Ravel rulez ;-P

X0loooser Says:

May 28, 2009 - gah! bydlo should be slower..but that's just me.

XEA6L Says:

May 30, 2009 - personally, the clarinet and oboe players are the funniest...

BABABABA5555 Says:

Jun 1, 2009 - BOO! They copped out and got a euphonium to play the tuba solo! Not that he played it badly or anything, but its the principal of the thing! The solo is simply not impressive on the euphonium.

XEA6L Says:

Jun 10, 2009 - If you watch the first video, and saw the HUGE breaths that the tuba player took on the 'short' notes, you might realise why switching to euphonium was a good idea...why not have the english horn play the solo in The Old Castle? missed that one, did you?

XEA6L Says:

Jun 10, 2009 - 4:16 to 4:35...bravo, woodwinds......

Jun 14, 2009 - That Michael Moore character on the violin...watching get so into his work is pretty entertaining... ;)

Jul 8, 2009 - the promenade marks the separation between 2 pictures, it follows Tuilleries, is a happy page where it gets described the games of children in the park, then the oboe, the piccolo and violins introduce a second idea underlined by the wind instruments, then Bydlo, which describes a heavy polish carruage passing by, thrn the promenade for the last time, the ballet des poussins dans leurs coques and then Goldenberg und Schmuyle, describes the confrontation between 2 jews, a rich one and a poor one

CplJoebot Says:

Jul 25, 2009 - I think it's most about a matter of sound. The tubist could probably Bydlo on his big horn just as well as the trombonist did on the euphonium. The sound of the euphonium over the big tuba might be preferred, though.

tomtrilobite Says:

Jul 30, 2009 - The composer might not have minded this change; but we know with a certainty that the orchstrator would have refused to let them play it with any substitution of an instrument. (I myself don't think it makes much difference.)

Aug 25, 2009 - about the English horn i thinking about that !

Sep 5, 2009 - some orchestras play that solo with an F Tuba.

Gozaburo1 Says:

Sep 9, 2009 - 1:36..I love Salonen! :)

Absintherra Says:

Sep 22, 2009 - Too fast for my opinion, but very transparent in sound. Though i'm getting a bit hasty while hearing it. Salonen also seemes a bit hasty to me... Just get thät piece through the concert... Nonetheless he is very conscious about his interpretation

Sep 24, 2009 - I must hear this because I tomorrow writes a musictest ... the man in the background sleep lol xD

chocofreak13 Says:

Oct 26, 2009 - Right at 5:05, I love the conductor's pose. So...avian.

ProjectmixBros Says:

Oct 28, 2009 - That trumpet player's tone and phrasing as well as the shear sound production is absolutely stunning to me...
