European Union Youth Orchestra, Mahler 7. symphony, 5th mvt.

[TheKevinV08]

Bravo!!! it takes a lot of gut to play Mahler 7's last movements... solos, hard drumming and pedaling. I'm not a timpanist myself, but I know timpanists dread and love this piece, and you executed the starting solo perfectly! Bravo again!

[finnishredder]

@TheKevinV08 Thanks! :-)

[W4LL5]

Who are you funded by ?

[finnishredder]

@W4LL5 The funding comes from the EU and all EU countries' ministries of education & culture plus private donators.

[mhenrikse]

As heard from the worst seat in the house...

[finnishredder]

@mhenrikse Behind the horns is always a pleasure.... :-)

[WAKeele]

I wish more youth orchestras sounded like this over here in the U.S.! I know too many "professional"" orchestras over here that don't play at this level...

[joufijou]

...brought back memories of my happy times in the (then) ECYO thirty years ago. Cheers.

[kistrombitas]

My problem is that i can't hear the big-big trumpet solo normally. :) But never mind! ;)

[RichardJonsson]

The horns are after the beat quite a bit on several places in this short recording. Hopefully it's just an... acoustical phenomenon only audible in this clip. ;)

[babelGan]

...but what else do we need to hear in this movement ;)

[freshhh1994]

@babelGan

Like the big trumpet solo, for instance?

[paxander103]

@babelGan agreed!

[kistrombitas]

Cool! But we can only hear the horns. :(

[ThaSchwab]

They're all that's playing in the beginning :P

[antixarchangel]

Try playing that while marching.

[team09edward]

ha ha it is hpb!!

[ZANKO2010]

オープニングをホルンのバックから撮影していて

とっても良い感じです。

手振れせずにしっかり撮れていたら最高なのですが。

[timmy998877]

Hey is that the UK edition of Harry Potter and the HBP on top of the drum at the very beginning???

[allykelly]

haha, well spotted - the book came out about 2 weeks before the course.....

[datromba]

it was Julian Sommerhalder on the principal Trumpet!

[music4dude]

Bravo!!

it takes a lot to be able to perform Mahler.

[finnishredder]

Thanks!

[trumpetgeek1010]

haha, wow dansemacabre67. for real. if you want perfectly steady tempos go play in a marching band. and as a trumpet player myself and the positioning of the camera mike i'd have to say that the priciple trumpet was playing pretty well. that's a pretty hard part to play. and I'm sure the sound carried pretty well out in front of the concert hall.

[dansemacabre67]

why students shouldn't play mahler's 7th: shitty horn tone horns rushing horns dragging conductor unskillfully taking the tempo way too fast principal trumpet not being heard strings out of tune horns out of tune all i can hear are horns listen to the tempo of the timpani then fast forward to the end the tempos are different YEAH thats not written in my score..

[allykelly]

why yanks shouldn't bother:

see above inane ill-informed nonsense

YEAH

[dansemacabre67]

gg suck quit music lolz

[heyitsme42693]

maybe you can only hear horns because if the camera is closer to the horns then the horns are louder then everything else! GASP! and with the camera being in the back the principal trumpet would be farther away! double gasp! and i assume it was pretty in tune this being the EUYO prehaps the low quality of the camera (no offence) distorted the sound of it. i dont remember this particular movement very well.

[heyitsme42693]

and if you knew what you were talking about you'd know that music is up to the interpretation of the player(s). its what give music emotion and passion.

[KashcheiTheImmortal]

You are an idiot. Its a rehearsal, its a youth orchestra, and the only reason "all you hear is horns" is because their bells are pointing right at the camera. Have common sense, and learn properties of sound, please. The tempo is subject to change, depending on the conductor, and its rightfully his job. Mahler wrote, intelligently, a symphony of this magnitude for different tempos. Any adequate musician would not question this.

Good job on the timpani. I would have used other mallets though.

[michielvanesse]

wohh this concerthall is in porto potrugal!!

[sexloversexlove]

A bit like the old Soviet Orchestra eh.

Yes, what a wonderful thing the EU is, telling us what to do and promoting itself through useful idiots like you.

Bravo.

[finnishredder]

Thanks for the compliments and have a great upcoming week in the wonderful Union of ours ;-)

[Pe6ek]

OMG what an idiot! Sammi! Shall we shoot him?

[bigdonkey002]

...wow. Do I even need to explain how moronic that statement is?

[DMNKFLKWRT]

[harmo105]
