I'm not sure that one should appreciate a piece of music more or less based on a particular recording of that piece. Every performance is an opportunity to bring a piece of music to life. Perhaps some are more in tune than others, perhaps some are more rhythmically accurate than others. I think the best performances are the ones yet to take place. Having said this, I currently prefer The University of New Hampshire's recording to this one, although it too has some questionable intonation.

Playing this for assessment this year! Fun piece to play as a trumpet player ^-^

Whenever I share Maslanka with people, I try to find the Illinois State University recordings. I am continually impressed with how they sound over other recordings.

@Rovelius39X7 quite the humble one, aren't you? :)

You know what's funny? This is actually our 2nd band (Symphonic Winds) who recorded this the semester before I arrived at Illinois State...

Cool to see this is up here.  It was fun to play/record all these pieces.

if this is your opinion, by all means, show me a better recording. I was personally sick of all the bands who played this until I found this recording cause it just sounded like noise to me. I like this recording, but if you have a better one, i'd LOVE to hear it.
