Beautiful performances by all. Special bravos to the English horn and trumpet soloists as well as the lush sound of the strings and the especially sensitive conductor. It's particularly satisfying to hear Copland, the great American master, played so beatifully in Rome.
I hear loneliness but also the appreciation of loneliness, peace and expansiveness but without dismissing anxiety, individuality but looking at everything. Both melodically and harmonically original. My favourite Copland piece.
Heard this at the National Marine Corp. Museum on the Movie they had there... it was amazing, and a wonderful tribute to those who risked and gave life and limb for our country.
Aaron Copland ha scritto: "la musica esprime di volta in volta serenità, esuberanza, rimpianto, trionfo, disperazione o delizia.Ha in sé tutti questi caratteri,e molti altri ancora, in un'infinita varietà di delicate sfumature.Può esprimere persino uno stato di intenzioni per cui non esiste parola adeguata.....quello che importa è che ognuno senta per sé la specifica qualità espressiva di un tema o, analogamente, di un intero componimento musicale." Grazie a tutti voi per la vostra musica.
This must be how perfect calm feels; I wouldn't know. This is certainly one of the most moving and beautiful pieces of music ever composed. I love this piece like few others... Thank you for posting this!
@doublehighd The crazy part is my teacher's wife also plays trumpet and she told me she had the fortune of performing this piece under the baton of Copland himself! As I prepare this for my own recital I ask, "Which horn should I play, C or Bb?". To my astonishment she said he was completely impartial! Therefore I've opted my Yamaha Chicago C over my Bach Strad Bb. I too would have expected the composer to have a stronger preference, but perhaps in his younger years such was the case?
Maestro @Andrea Lucchi posso azzardare umilmente una richiesta? La prima volta che io la vidi in TV fu diversi anni fa, probabilmente tra il '97 e il 2001. Era d'estate, forse luglio o agosto. RAI, seconda serata. Un particolare che ricordo benissimo era che portava ancora le basette molto "prominenti", come in questo video. Non ricordo che pezzo fosse, ma era probabilmente il bis, perchè suonava solo lei, l'orchestra si godeva la musica... ricordo che rimanemmo tutti incantati, avremmo voluto che non finisse mai. Il tempo era tranquillo, come un largo o forse poco più mosso. Ha idea di cosa potesse trattarsi? Riuscirebbe miracolosamente a recuperarlo?... Grazie infinite in anticipo.
Ummm, the trumpet only played four 16th notes instead of the five that are written. I'm playing this piece right now with a symphony. Nice English horn, though.
He did play all five--although he played the first four 16ths faster and articulated, and the fifth, rubato and legato. If you listen closely you can hear a faint articulation for the fifth 16th.
In a world that is often shouting, this gorgeous music is especially welcome....
Copland is one of the greatest composer of the 20th Century. Thank you for this superb performance !
I am obsessed with this piece right now. So beautiful.

Andrea Lucchi Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!!
Excellent. Played on a C trumpet . WOW..

Such a beautiful sound from the entire orchestra. The English Horn and trumpet soloists also. Magnificent.
Andrea Lucchi deserves a Kennedy Center Honors! Outstanding!

incantevole
If you have had a bad day, come home, dial up UA-cam and cue this up for 10-11 minutes. It will replenish your soul.

La più bella versione di sempre.
Andrea, it is just a ringing and yet quiet rendition of this beautiful composition. My compliments to you, Maestro.

I thought I didn't like Aaron Copland. I was so wrong.
This is beautiful.

Not anymore.....although I agree.
Copland wrote it for Bb trumpet. That makes a difference. But the performance is very musical. Pity about the sound.

The trumpet part was written for an english horn this is a travisty
