    Good PR use of time spent @ Lincoln Center in NY these last few days.

  • Mark Henriksen says:

    Great rendition! Excellent brass section. What a treat for that audience.

  • Sue says:

    Stephen Colbert – all round excellent individual, and very intelligent!! He gets it.

  • Papageno says:

    One of the best trumpet sections in the U.S. right now, and a terrific brass section overall.

  • Itsjtime says:

    Oh boy!!! That French horn is most likely the total bad ass whose playing lights up The new Star Wars….Andrew Bain has got to be in the conversation when it comes to best orchestra players in the world.

    A little Jack Horner feel good moment for all, signifying nothing.

  • Ravi Narasimhan says:

    Very nice antidote to the Super Bowl silliness.

    • David Moody says:

      I understand that (incidentally) LA Phil’s musicians are the best-paid orchestra members in the U.S. Home venue performances are usually better than this (of course, we don’t make them play in the dark).

      • Ravi Narasimhan says:

        I’ve heard that as well. I think it depends whether or not the Met Opera orchestra is included. I thought the performance was fine, especially given the constraints of a tv studio. Haven’t heard this revamped brass section at Disney. Looks like some very good hires.
