Thank you 🙏

After having watched several other interpretations of this piece on UA-cam, I'd like to commend you for your performance, particularly the dynamic contrasts. So many other groups just go full bore for most of the piece, like they are afraid of a piano dynamic, and individual players seem unaware of who they're covering up with their background parts. But, for instance, your horns never overpowered the woodwinds, and showed as much subtlety. Bravi!

Most beautiful music!!!!

[@colegiodelicenciadosendere3145]

Magnífica audición ejecutada en forma más que fidedigna por sólo ocho integrantes, limpia, ágil, fresca, sencilla mas no fácil. Hay que imaginar lo que harían con una orquesta completa con todos sus instrumentos. FELICIDADES!!!

Nice. The Klemperer version is also very nice.

Pues estupenda interpretación, ni una sola pifia en las trompas (tan usual en pasajes rapidos) y bien conjuntados. Musica muy agradable de tocar, lo que dicen por ahi abajo ni caso...

Pretty mediocre performance of this piece, especially compared to many of the other ones here on UA-cam.

[@Timrath]

I thought the same. They don't play badly, mind you. Especially the first clarinet is quite good. But overall, they lacked passion as a group.
That being said, it was still better than what it would have sounded like in Mozart's time, considering the occasion for which he wrote that piece.

[@Timrath]

They did redeem themselves in the last movement, though.

@@Timrath It's a Marine band. They're in uniform and on duty. Surely that accounts for some of what we're seeing?
