Our band is performing this great piece by Shostakovich for our next concert. I host listening files for our band and there was no better recording that I could find than this one by an All-State Band from Massachusetts about 2 yrs ago. There are 112 musicians. Dr. Larry Livingston (USC Thornton School of Music) is conducting - a marvelous director and clinician. The low brass sound is really awesome and the balance is excellent. These students did a great job. Kudos to those who did the recording and camera work. Their parents really had to be proud.
