By far the best interpretation I've yet heard; it's the ebb and flow that make this composition truly breathe. Most conductors are in too much a hurry.

[JoW]

A shame so few people sit in the audience... Great Piece, great performance!!

[BCCM]

Beautiful playing, wonderful conductor. Excellent pacing.

[kevinomreb]

Woodwinds and horns outstanding. One of the most beautiful pieces ever.

[charlottekimmerly]

Best version I have heard, flutes and brass in perfect tune and the correct ending. Well done

[nieveable]

Aww no Piccolo. I love its part. Beautiful piece, had the privilege to play it for my senior year concert.

[samsavas]

Sitting and listening to this piece is beautiful...but, many years ago in High School, my Band played this piece, and I have to tell you....goosebumps and chills went thru my body as I was the tympanist in the band. The ending just is so powerful, with the beautiful chords and counter melodies going on, just an incredible work of music. When we first rehearsed the piece I thought, as a 16 year old, "This piece is totally boring"!!!..Boy, was I wrong. I wish i could play it just one more time...:(

I like the unison low brass towards the end to mimic organ pedals, and they did it superbly!

[bljpaulus]

Heb dit stuk nog gespeeld als inspeelwerk op het wmc in 1989. Prachtig.

[jimjazz]

I could play every day for this conductor! Bravo!

[gwen]

We are playing this in our high school band hopefully we can get it as good at this!

[Sjaak]

Prachtige uitvoering!!! Heerlijk werk voor blaasorkesten. Herrinnert mij nog steeds aan onze uitvoering in juli 1997 op het WMC te Kerkrade met fanfare Eensgezindheid uit Maasbracht-Beek. De fanfare werd toen voor de eerste keer wereldkampioen n de Coincertafdeling. De orginele CD heb ik nog bovenop mijn verzamrling liggen!

[robbicu]

Band sounded good despite the conductor attempting take off.

[allisonsmith]

Great song! I'm listening to get an idea of how my part should sound. It's a nice song to play.

[joeheid]

Unreal except where were the horns at the end

[muzakmajor]

That conductor bad boy!!! that was execellenta'

[mamagstar]

the conductor is fantastic i hearth he would go with the phil harmonic in bocholtz for gold on the contest

[vinokene]

It is my theme song of my life.
The horn for call Christ Jesus.
The sword for judge to justice.
The ring for marriage to you(me) and God.
The swan is ambassador from heaven.
I can't win to God！！
But if you call God, he will come immediately.
I call ... this peace of mind.
This art celebrates the glory of God.

There are some expressions that I am sorry for Hungarian people.
Don't forget this part.

[joeheid]

Never been a fan of conductors who don't use a baton. He did a great job though.

Excellent, different, but not nearly as pleasing as Baylor University's version.
