Crown Imperial (William Walton/Frank Wright)

[rontenn]

Always get a lump in my throat when I hear this piece!! British & so proud!! This version is very solid & classy! So pleased this piece was played at the recent royal wedding!! Nice choice Kate & William.

Nice job, but the conducting was much too labored and forced.

[heartheartcrush]

This song is HARD :)

[Harriette99]

What awesome sound from this brass band! Might have been even better had

this band played the whole piece.

[nickysaxpiccolo]

sounds better with woodwinds...

Great band (Apart from the elephant on 0:36)! Do they do requests? They should do Copland's 'Fanfare for the Common Man'. More of Walton's music here: megaupload. com/?d=KCEFED01

Arg - someone get this ensemble better microphones!

[indiantrumpet]

For the sheer amount of soprano in the ensemble, the intonation is amazing! Not perfect, but amazing.

This brings back so many memories. Our high school band played this in concert in 1969. I love this composition.

Apparently Sir William Walton's composition was chosen over that of Sir Arnold Bax (then Master of the King's Music)Quite rightly too

[jutescrim]

This is the only version on You Tube worth listening to. Please will someone post the complete composition. Another excelent version was conducted by Herbert Wilcox(played on Radio 3 25/3/08) Can anyone oblige?

The sound produced is AMAZING

[jutescrim]

Very evocative, but where is the rest of it???
