The way the conductor mouths "bum bum" during the low brass excerpt made my day

Played this in high school, but hearing it while playing a racing game just puts a dumb grin on my face the entire time. What a piece!

I was lucky enough to perform this under Sir Simon in 1997. What a great summer that was!

In Finland, every independence day we hold the Independence Day Reception at the presidential residence where the president greets important people. This piece is always played last when all the ambassadors, generals, important political figures and former presidents arrive.

Louis de Funès is the best conductor playing this piece 😂

He could really fit as Stanislas Lefort, no doubt! «Merci messieurs c’était très bien. C’était très bien. Vous, vous vous c’était bien là-bas. Vous c’était… bien, enfin c’est comme-ci comme-ça. Dites-moi, vous on ne vous a pas entendu. On je vous entend jamais. Vous n’arrêtez pas de bavarder, faites attention, faites très attention. Écoutez, j’ai une conception personelle de l’ouvrage… Ce n’est pas assez triomphal, ce n’est pas assez orgueilleux… De l’orgueil bon sang! Papapin, papin, papiiiin… Bon sang, enfin!»

I played the snare drum part on this piece during a high school honors band event 40 years ago. Two things I remember about it: 1) I thought the piece itself was awesome and I’ve loved it ever since, 2) We (there were two of us) could never get the feel of the snare part at 3:26, although this performance helps me hear it better than most.

hector Berlioz simply the best, and the @londonSymphonyOrchestra with Sir Simon Rattle in a supreme level.

[WarriorOO]

Rákóczi-induló or Racozy Marsch, to be exact. 😊
