[EclecticMuse4]

This is probably my favorite recording ever of this piece. So happy to find it here! (and also find out who recorded it!)

[MrBathelemont]

IT CANNOT BE BETTER

[Excapted]

Hey Guys, look, i found a word to describe this piece: Epic!

[Bowdown00111]

THE BEST PIECE OF MUSIC EVERRRRRRRR!

[Dreamer617]

BTW this IS in fact the recording done by the Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Meeme Jarvi. Look it up on iTunes. WORTH THE DOLLAR x INFINITY!!! :)

[trizznumpet]

[EclecticMuse4]

@trizznumpet Probably, it's how I got exposed to it. :D

[matto135]

[tomtom5418]

the horn solo gives me chills...the whole thing gives me chills!!! bravo!

[kittka1216]

I've listened to this about 30 times over the past 24 hours and still get chills every time.

[Dreamer617]

@kittka1216 Same here my friend. Except literally hundreds of times over the past couple years. Absolute. Perfection.

[Spoonwood]

It's like Bolero on steroids.

[JKSCHERMAN]

i love phantom regiment's version of this as a opener. 1996. look it up if you like this you will love that show

[StryfeXArcadia]

that's how I got introduced to it.

[EclecticMuse4]

@StryfeXArcadia Haha same here!

This has grown to be one of my favorite pieces of classical music ever.

[ladyearwen]

@JKSCHERMAN

They also did it for their 2007 winterguard show. Got 7th place at WGI.

[LilStewerdess]

@ladyearwen Truth be known, Rochester Patriots did this as a winterguard show in like 2001 though. 5th place.

[SageHatProductions]

@JKSCHERMAN What year did phantom do that show?

[JKSCHERMAN]

[Noverable]

[livetomarch]

[gchamizo]

un genio, entre más le escucho más le admiro

[miep123456]

love this!

[jpfleaman]

where did you find the recording at

[eXcommunicate1979]

I believe this is the recording done by the Scottish National Orchestra, conducted by Meeme Jarvi.

I highly recommend the CD. It comes with an equally AMAZING recital of Shosty's 10th symphony. Fantastic:

Label: Chandos, ASIN: B000000AHN

[Dreamer617]

@eXcommunicate1979 eXcommunicate you are correct. I just compared the recordings side by side and the only difference is that this video (obviously, it's youtube) has much poorer quality.

[BigBMrBenben]

@eXcommunicate1979 Exactly. This orchestra has a very distinctive sound--especially the brass section. Check out their recording of Prokovief's (Spelling?) Romeo & Juliette and Bruckner 4.

[SBfluteman]

this music is truely beautiful!

[pjioayncoe]

It's so gratifying to listen to Shostakovich with neither bitterness nor recentment; he seemed to have casted away all his hatred and anxiety, leaving behind the greatness and strength that lived inside of him. Thank you so much for this music.
