I started listening to this out of curiosity to know what a Community (i.e. amateur) Midwestern orchestra would make of VW, and was gripped from beginning to end.  They really are good!  I especially like the string portamenti that maestro Zimmermann employs to such effect, and as for the trombones - have never heard such ferocious snapping and snarling in this piece.  A pity there appear to be so many empty seats - the good folk of Fargo missed a real treat.

A great lesson in just how good regional orchestras can be!

Some are very competitive, semi-pro.  I love youth orchestras too.  American Youth Orchestra were fantastic playing very difficult music!
