Steppes of Central Asia - Sammamish Symphony

this isint half as good as the grey high school orchestra performing it.

We're playing this for my spring orchestra concert next month!! >w< Except, it's just string instruments.

I'm really excited, it's going to be my last middle school performance before I go to high school. x3

Great quality, though some minor flubs in places and tuning issues.

I think this is an excellent recording..very musical..however, the horn playing was appaling. cracks and beaks every where. The octave hits were never in tune.

However, overall it was good. Oboe/cor angalis was wonderful, celli and basses kept it even the whole time.

Well done. Nearly as good as London Philharmonic!! Beautiful,eerie,powerful and redolent. Wish I could have seen you do Scheherezade esp MVT 3 in March. Best piece of music ever composed Mvt 3 along with Moonlight Sonata IMO. Where in Seattle do you play? I have been to Lake Sammamish many times and wandered around Marymoor Park on visits from UK to my brother in Redmond.

Love the park-so peaceful. Also Idlewood Park I think. Again, well done you interpret it so well -majesty and serenity.

Thanks for the fine words. We mainly perform at the Eastlake Performing Arts Center in Sammamish (up the hill from Lake Sammamish to the plateau). We also play a summer pops concert in Pine Lake Park.
