This has a light and aery feel to it that I liked, and the playing was very good. But not great. That seemed to be the theme, to hint at greatness, but only partly deliver. It took a long time for the song to 'get somewhere,' and I was tempted to give up waiting. That being said, I thought the overall sound was too brassy for this kind of theme. Hard to explain. It's like it is trying hard to be something or go somewhere, and you see a lot of the trying hard part, less of the successes. 7/10 - which would have been an 8 under a better orchestra. (It reminded me of Gorecki's Symphony No. 3, except where Gorecki succeeded, this piece failed.)
