Copland: Fanfare for the Common Man - Radio Filharmonisch Orkest led by Antony Hermus - Live HD

The Radio Philharmonic Orchestra led by Antony Hermus perform 'Fanfare for the Common Man' by Aaron Copland during The Sunday Morning Concert of Sunday the 1st of September 2019.

2019/2020 is a very special year for The Sunday Morning Concert: the new season marks the 25th anniversary of the AVROTROS concert series! To celebrate, the orchestra played a throwback programme during the first concert of the season on the 1st of September: the music played (Copland, Verdi, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky) was the same music that got played during the first edition in 1994.

absolutely brought me to tears. for all the low points we see in human existence, this is the exact opposite and shows the pinnacles of what can be achieved, BRAVO !

[richardwilliams]

BRAVO to the timpanist. His drums were PERFECTLY in tune !!!!

[KackyMuse]

What a superb brass section and beautiful percussion. Really brought out the spirit of the piece.

[notaire]

Die brillanten Töne aller Trompeten klingen echt eindrucksvoll. Die explosiven Töne der Schlagzeuge sind auch bewundernswert. Echt ausgezeichnetes Orchester!

Reminds me of when I joined the US Navy, and served for 25 years.

This strikes me as the very best rendition I have ever heard! Absolutely stunning! Suberb!

[gillesderais]

Ik krijg altijd kippenvel als ik dit stuk hoor.

[gerthenriksen]

Great playing! A great piece of music. More Copland, please! We need him in these times!

[Herfinnur]

I absolutely love this piece, I just don't know whether it's because or despite how it makes me feel like every American protagonist in one of those late-90s nationalistic Hollywood movies (Pearl Harbour, Independence Day, We Where Soldiers, etc.) when I'm European

[BrianMegilligan]

I have never understood playing behind the conductor like this. Why does the ensemble play so far behind the ictus, yet precisely on the cut off at the end?

[Nockturnmortem]

2:48 someone messed it up at this moment killing all the momentum of this beautiful rendition. What a waste

[girvinie]

There's actually no need for strings in an orchestra :-)
