Man - those horns are incredible. For only having two of them (the piece calls for 4), they sailed through the licks and made it sing! Great tuba, too.
Ummm... for only having two french horns, SUPERB. I can't believe how much sound they can generate and outplay full sections of trombones and trumpets. KUDOS.
It looks like a community band... I'm joining one in my city. Either that or it's a high school band and they needed an extra person to play french horn and that was the only person they could find.
@Jille69 Hi Jille, you are right, she is nervous, but the problem is not the score but the tuning. She is able to play the solo. However, she's completely out of tune during most of the score. That's because the way she holds the mouthpiece is not always the same. In fact, the pitch varies easily depending on the pressure you do with your lips and your mouth.
@justintimeparish play the oboe is difficult if you´re nervous...she looks nervous, well... actually, she sounds nervous even in the solo. I have to say that in some plays for "amateur"/non professional bands oboes sometimes seem to be out of tone but the problem is not the oboist, it´s the score. PD: sorry for my english
@fravils2 Tengo que reconocer que es muy buena versión. Toda la banda está genial pero especialmente me gusta el solo de oboe. Lo tiene todo: expresividad, afinación, vibrato y buen ritmo. Muy bueno. Si hay que poner alguna falta sería a la sección de viento metal justo antes de volver a la parte rápida tienen unos problemillas de afinación.
@rmfotj Hi, I agree totally with you. Even more, she is completely out of tune in most of the parts of the piece but it is more noticeble during the solo. Despite the fact that she looks nervous and maybe the reed is not helping (I always kept my best reeds for the concerts) she should have done something to tune with the band. I mean, I am sure they tuned before starting the concert but the tuning changes easily in the oboe because it has a very delicate mouthpiece.
The performance was really nice as this was the piece was quite complicated. The phrases were beautifully shaped. The runnings of the woodwinds were neat and clear. The brass was sounding great!! Very clear tounging. HOWEVER, some sections seemed to be out of tune. (Oboe, horns) IS THIS A DVD Video? I also want to have one!!
Porqué los que critican el leve desliz del Oboe lo escriben en el idioma anglosajón....se puede escribir en lengua Española y también en lengua Gallega, seamos sinceros salvo ese mínimo desliz la interpretación estuvo de maravilla, !!felicidades a la banda¡¡.
The oboe starts off ok, but then drifts flat. That means two things: 1) she has a crappy reed, and she's nervous about it. 2) Because she is nervous about it, she's covering the reed with too much lip, which pushes the sound even lower. There's nothing about those notes on the oboe that would make them inherently flat; it's all reed/player. Have mercy on her folks. Anyone who says no instrument is harder to play than another has never played oboe.
What kind of band is this??!!, i tried to figure it out but i couldnt some of these kids look like they're 10!!! BUT THEN I SAW AN OLD DUDE SOOO...........n then some collage kids
qué cómodo es criticar sentado delante del ordenador, a los señores críticos decirles que la mayoría de estos músicos son gente joven que compagina sus estudios, trabajos, etc. con la práctica de un instrumento, así que un respeto
BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE! You guys r right though, the oboe is out of tune. But you can obviously see that the oboe player is trrying her best and I think she's capable of playing this solo even better when she's tuned :) Also I think the producer knows the bassoon player :p
the parts around the 3:00 mark was painful to hear. the slow sections. because the intonation was atrocious. but nevertheless, i really like the sound of this band, the musical intentions for this piece is quite well expressed.
Estou de acordo cos comentarios da desafinación do oboe. É unha pena, porque a actuación da banda é sensacional. De tódolos xeitos, eu só a percibín cando empeza a crecer cara á segunda parte do solo; ó principio, co oboe + algún grave, non se aprecia dese xeito. E, ademáis, tecnicamente dá gusto oílo... Aínda así, se todos están a resaltar iso é porque non hai nada que dicir ó resto. Moi boa interpretación... animádesnos ós das bandas (mooooito) máis modestas a querer imitarvos :) Parabéns!!
The oboe sounds rather flat; especially starting in C in the middle of the staff and below that. Any oboists here to discuss some particularly annoying notes to tune on the oboe :)?
Hah hah hah. I wish I could play as good as that oboe player anyways. I play clarinet and french horn pretty decent though. And flute. I wanna play bari sax.
the piece sounded really robotic. No emotions being shown through the players. The Oboe player was either out of tune or there's something wrong with her reed. The brasses were fantastic, kudos to the French Horns. Lack of manpower for the wind ensemble. Overall was an alright performance.
All the comments about the oboe being out of tune is kind of sad. Could it be possible that it was a cheap oboe and that it was not the musician’s fault? Just sayin! I’ve played cheap oboes and they are terrible, and quite difficult to play in tune.

Nossa mtoo linda mesmo... eu tbem toco ela na banda... ela tem um nível de dificuldade pra mim mto grande, mais eu e minha clarinete vamos vencer...
Muito Bom
dang this is a really good band...
2 HORN SLAY the entire band! BRAVO!
@justintimeparish Isn't it easier to tune an oboe rather than a timpany in the middle of the song?
PARABENS AOS MUSICOS, MAESTRO E ADMIRADORES
超好聽^^
Esa la tengo que tocar jo es bastante difícil y ai una parte que es muy difícil de las trompas

adoro o solo do oboe
french horns were out of tune in the starting horn calls.......could have been fixed with a hand tune....

Es verdad el oboe esta desafinadillo pero por poquisimo aver si mi banda llegase a tocar esta grandisima obra de Alfred Reed
The Brass carried this performance.
funny how my tone is the same and i got thrash by my conductor
apenas acho que a afinação esta um pouco alta e o andamento um pouco lento, fora isso a musica da demais parabens

Ouch.....my ear hurts from the horrendous intonation.....clarinet section seems to be the only consolation....
感動したｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ
You heard of the joke?
How do you make a horn player and an oboist in tune?
Shoot either one of them. haha. No offence. Great playing.
the tambourine sound is awful

the vals is very slow!!! :S
oboe is really out of tune.... i played this solo last year.
F-horns are not in tune
Learn how to tune an oboe
Horrible flute soloist! No vibrato at all! Its just ridiculous! Same with oboe! Intonation was disgraceful
