Very articulate even given the large ensemble size. Great job! Love the herald trumpets on the final chorus.
Glorious, beautiful, proud of my home country!!!
The envy of the world.
One of my favourite pieces mInd you Walton and Elgar are my favourite English composers so I guess it stands to reason.
Most amazing performance of this March I've heard yet. This band gave me chills more than once during their performance. I especially loved the use of rallentandos as well as density of harmony and beautiful woodwind work throughout. Absolutely thrilling performance. BRAVO!!
Best rendering of this piece I could find online! Good ol' Royal Marines. Can't beat 'em. Other versions lack spirit or precision. Mind you, the occasion was great as well.
Great music from royal marines and Great conductor Britain at it's very best we can do it
I was serving with the CONARC band at Ft. Monroe in 1968 when we combined with the Tactical Air Command Band and the Atlantic Fleet Band and performed Crown Imperial. Still one of my all time performances! It was just like this.
Lee Rigby RIP
Finest military band in the world - none better.
Wow that's a huge band!
Love the big chords in the coda
II this doesn't make you feel proud, what will? By the best military band in the world.
Simply amazing!
Wow brilliant
This is my first piece that I play in a symphonic band 40 years ago.
Wish they hadn't truncated it. The entire march is about 12 minutes and is glorious.
Absolutely stunning
William Walton could not be prouder.
Such an amazing work. And for when written in my limited yet professional background in classical music, revolutionary for its time..
Great Fanfare music you can actually hear the marching in the tune 🙂
Perfect!
Regal !!
Fucking Great Sounds....
I suppose I'm an Imperialist
The first key change is the best trio which they cut is a total let down
Women in the RMs !! I've lived through it all now time to go ............
If it's any consolation, I'm pretty sure there aren't any in the Commando units. - (Although, if they pass the tests, why not?)
Can't see a problem in the bands, although I do wince at the 4'11"woman next to the 6' bloke, when marching. Sort of spoils the aesthetic.
@@adventussaxonum448 No women in combat frontline units period.
The musicianship is what matters here. Not whether you have tits or pecs.
Having women in a unit like the Royal marine Commandos combat para battalions or in the sas would be a big mistake ultimately it would foreshadow lowering the strict standards and set a precedent opening up the special forces and watering down the requirements not even the Americans in their military have got woman in the top tier special forces Navy seal green beret or delta forces in the US marines the women train separately from the men at boot camp it's easy for the women to pass I read some where US military top brass or higher up allowed two women in their 30s who were married with children already to try the US Ranger course they passed apparently having certain bits of the course made easy basically carried round at the end they were at that ceremony parade awarded the Ranger badage it is considered a tough course requiring high fitness levels all the men were lined up during this award who knew how they got through theses were tough NCO instructor's who had to bend the rules and told to keep their mouths shut in the end theses two women left back to Washington or somewhere other then the US Rangers
Makes my heart swell with total PRIDE 👍👍👍
Doesn’t happen very often now with the state of BROKEN BRITAIN 👎👎👎
