Watched 3 WASBE wind orchestra concerts (University of Florida, Senzoku Gakuen, the netherland fanfare, Boston Brass).
Hm...
The Netherland wind orchestra Boston Brass very nice.
Although the netherland one is a wind orchestra, it actually consist of Brass & percussion only. The sounds very Smooth & Clean.
The Florida one not bad also. very Truth to classical.
The Senzoku Gakuen one,
hm... a bit dissapointed (as I always expect Japanese orchestra to perform better, at least technically).
as there are a bit out of tune.
but that concert overall still very enjoyable.
especially when thay play the FINALE of the famous piece "Jupiter Fantasy" (by Ito Yasuhide).
Those who interested can go watch WASBE~ International Youth Winds Orchestra concert on This saturday.
will play some Ito Yasuhide's works also.
This saturday also got Tokyo Kosei Winds orchestra.
I watched their concert (with sax soloist) DVD before.
Very Nice.
