  • Terrific performance - i have just found this and, as an ignorant Brit, I hadn't heard of this orchestra. i loved the tightness of the playing, the lightness of touch and the way there was room for wit and excitement as well as such beautifully controlled tears. Haydn just like I love him. Thanks for this - who knows, one of these days I might just get out to Houston to hear you.

  • @ipmoic Hello: Thank you for your comments! I am actually the founder and principal oboist in this orchestra. ROCO is six years old and made up of forty dynamic players half of whom I fly in from around the US and Canada to perform in our home hall that is featured here. Would love to invite you to come hear us! We have quite a few people who travel here for our concerts. Check out the website. Thanks!

  • Terrific tempo--Finally, a true "Presto"!

    Congratulations Mr. Willis.

    For we out-of-staters, another lovely way to know Houston.

    Are any of these musicians in the Houston Symphony as well?

  • Congratulations again!

    I've never heard it so fast.

    Would you mind one more question... I think the repetition of 2nd part is great, but... it's not requested, do you reckon it is up to the conductor's choice? (I just want to know, I don't mean to be rude)
