I have not heard this musical gem for 70 years. I played it aged 12 years of age in its solo piano form. I had forgotten all about it which is a shame for it is a pretty and lighthearted work deserving attention. Thank you for the posting.
This piece was part of the regular repertoire of the Cork Youth Orchestra for many years! SCT's music is full of variety and interest. Thanks for posting this - full of memories for me
Wow. I am not a musician, but my hearing is good enough to know the strings are playing false. I know the piece, as I still have it on a music cassette, recorded from the radio ca. 1982.
Why do the orchestra not do this piece justice on purpose?, they seem intentionally out of key and time adding a very obvious sense of messiness to the piece luckily I can see through their horrendous rendition of this performance to the beauty of the original.
That's just cruel. They are an amateur orchestra playing an unfamiliar piece of music. How about cutting them a bit of slack for programming it? I notice you're not faulting the conductor for his lackluster interpretation (yes, I've played it).
Pleasant , but grossly overrated ..... neither thumbs up or down for us . Sounds like typical background music for nice , inoffensive B movies . One listen is quite enough .

It always great for me to discover hidden gems.

Would sound better in tune?

It's an amateur orchestra, no doubt doing their best
Why? Even Dora The Explorer wouldn't be able to find who the fuck asked!
