I played this music and I got first chair French horn and I was worried I was going to mess up the solo but once I heard the orchestra I felt relieved 😅

[@mayfungkhoo7048]

I understand how you felt , several times I got chosen to solo the violin,although it wasn't this song

[@hsbvt]

People can joke about the triangle, but that was pretty intense at the end there!

[@IceAintNice]

Amazing!

[@jaredfrazier8713]

I played triangle for this piece in high school before I learned how to tune properly for Timpani and it literally changed my life

[@joelhenderson4450]

I dream of guesting on triangle for this piece.

[@jaredfrazier8713]

The French horn solo in this piece kills me every time. Majestic

[@alberg6290]

like from another planet

[@ColtsPacers1]

It's a privilege to get to play it

[@michaelmichelz3349]

For me the most amazing and moving seven plus minutes of music ever composed....tears every time

[@Justalinx]

Y’all are SLEEPING on the oboe solo. It was beautiful!

[@nicola5068]

there's a feeling at 1:18 that I can't get from anything else

[@drbassface]

Same here. I get a BURST of goosebumps/ chills from head to toes when I hear those lush chords full of emotion.

[@luizg8034]

Have you ever heard Ravel's Tombeau de Couperin?.
There's a solo piano version and an orchestral arrangement. Listen to the prelude for the orchestral arrangement. This, the transition between the II and III movements in Shostakovich's Symphony no. 7 and the syncope on bar 73 of Poco piu vivo in Stravinsky's Pulcinella are some of my favorite moments in orchestral music.

[@CribNotes]

I know what you mean. That feeling during the Berceuse in The Firebird. I remember that yearning dreamy feeling on my first listen. I think it's the Russian influence. A different way of approaching harmony and orchestration. Every harmonic line melts right into the next.

[@teodorojaranilla5008]

wHAT A WONDERFUL rendition by orchestra ...under the guidance of the conductor...it is ORGANIC unfolding of the majestic finale ...broadness ...growing out of the berceuse with its magical atmosphere...one of the BEST i ve heard...

[@davewvu1]

As it was meant to be played. Beautifully performed.

[@pavelvedernikov8502]

This is so beautiful. Stavinsky was capable of creating very simple and elegant pieces like this - as well as more complex ones, that I dont like nor understand much.

[@wenting2457]

This is probably my favorite interpretation of this piece’s INCREDIBLE dynamic range. I love the clarity of the horn line at 3:47, I’ve heard so many modern conductors muddle it into the strings, and it needs to stand out. Not every choice needs to be unique, some just need to be good.

[@Butterflys_at_dawn]

Absolutely beautiful

[@carbonc6065]

This is a great version!

[@daveenyart]

Fabulous. I especially enjoy the strong tuba! Kudos.

Stravinsky = Genius!

[@marviltron9562]

That trombone crescendo at @6:19 sounded so good!!

[@mariaalmeida189]

I listen this final many years ago in the museum Calouste Gulbenkian here in Portugal. I had this piece in my head for long time.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@scottmiller6495]

Outstanding !!!!!

[@pandalilpig]

greatness

[@morganeremy8532]

The guy who caughs during the horn solo deserves a death condamnation

[@Gerardo2768]

Yeah idd terrible dissonance

[@fabricioventura7377]

Why? Why? Why caugh over the isolated and defenseless horn solo. Go caugh over the tutti, the tympanii, whatever. Not over a lonely flute, oboé or fagot.

[@Yeah_Im_That_Guy]

Our symphony played it for a music concert at Disney you might of heard of called Disney and this song managed to get us 1st place!

[@Sentinel07]

I got 2nd trumpet for this when we played it a year ago, it’s still one of my favorite pieces

[@krazdomino4882]

[@annoqed2021]

That applause was too quiet

[@spikespa5208]

But a perfectly timed cough.

[@jackaguirre8576]

​​@@spikespa5208that cough was infuriating. Was there a mic right on her??

[@francroma9177]

Only 18 years old and above will allow you to play,
