It's a montage with "war" as its subject and Grimethorpe's playing. Some work from Paganini's Variations arranged by Philip Wilby. I'm listening more than watching, and the playing is, well "remarkable" doesn't do justice.
Some of the images are disturbing given the harsh cost of war.... |
Thanks for the link. Some of the images make you think, don't they? It's a "pretty good" band, to say the least. I find the hardest thing to play in brass band are the transcribed string parts. Too fast and many impossible fingering combinations. Well, impossible for me, anyway.
These guys do a great job of it.
