Brass Band De Wâldsang (Conductor: Rieks van der Velde) -

An atmospheric opening, but not without its insecurities.

Ensemble isn't 100% as we introduce more voices, but there are committed sounds.

The busier textures are somewhat frantic, not as well organised as we have heard today.

There are great contrasts between the big textures and the source materials, if somewhat fragile in the quieter moments.

Lovely cornet. Not all accomps are comfortable, but it's a good transition to the agitato.

The agitato is well organised and we hear a good focus to the source material.

There's a good flow to the final chorale, but intonation isn't 100%.

The ending is joyful, if a little scrappy - great sounds to close though.
