kevingamin Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Opener is just like '87 SCV, complete with opening bari solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Horn line starts facing back field, building to the first Russian Christmas Music hit. Tempo just picked up, and now the horns are facing front. Entire horn and drum line just crab stepped across the field in a block. Nice visual effect. Could have used more impact on the final part of the first hit. Horns are now backfield again as we build to the next big moment in the opener.

kevingamin Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I"m not liking the horn line sound. I hear sopranos over everything else and, as a result, they're very strident and unbalanced. I'm not getting a good vibe from Cru so far, feel like nerves are in the way. Very nice pit moment to start Prince Igor, the source music for Stranger in Paradise.

kevingamin Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Much better performance from the brass during Prince Igor, tasteful and more lush than the opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Great work by two flugelhorn soloists as well. This was a great moment. DM turns around on the podium and bows as the final note is played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Now we're into the part of Prince Igor that everybody recognizes, very high tempo and percussive. Looks like we're building into a drum solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Very strong drum feature to end Prince Igor. Drum line just threw down. Pictures at an Exhibition now. Contras playing the melody, then a brass ensemble takes over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Do they have the fire exstinguishers from last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
