Very mystical to open - just right. Presto moves on well - fine troms at 26. 42 very good - 56 to 65 under control - confident horn but rather hard at times - the odd blemish 76 - flugel and cornet very esp indeed - accomps. fine. Excellent fanfares - good euph 122 all detail very clear - 142 all under control - fine style 154 excellent cornet playing 168 barit accomp also - very esp euph - good bass 196 fine controlled accel to 219 fine big sound here - good allargando leading to a fine finish.

A good conception of the work. Well played band & MD.

Good baritones to open and good secure opening. B - good and troms happen at C. Good cornets at E. Good link to H. I - watch balance here. J - good solo lines and all fit musically together. K - fanfares very good. O, P, Q all good stuff. W - well done here and maestoso works well. Good bass trom @ 231. Well done to close.

 

Thanks to Ian Thomas for typing up the remarks.
