St. Cloud Municipal Band performing the Overture to The Pearl Fishers by Bizet at Ritsche Auditorium in Stewart Hall at St. Cloud State University. Glen Tuomaala, Director. www.municipalband.com
I wish more high school bands would perform this piece, but I have yet to hear one in this area of Minnesota. There are certainly some difficult sections!
Completely agree with you - wish more bands perform this piece. I simply love it.
By the way, generally I like this performance, but there are no emotions. There has to be more passion at some parts and some more grief, which are important for this piece.
Thanks so much for uploading a decent version of this piece. I played this during my highschool days, and have always felt a strong connection to it. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.
