Re: Lousy Orchestral Performances

Yes, which is why, with the exception of the trumpets played in Michael
Small's "Mountains of the Moon" I think Congress ought to pass a law banning
the trumpet, cornet or any similar instrument. Also Winton and Branford
Marselis should also be banned. And Maynard Ferguson. But Herb Alpert can
stay.

The trumpets were quite screechy in "Battle Beyond the Stars."

This score has been criticized for its lousy orchestral performance.
Miklos Rozsa's THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD. One individual described
the music as sounding as though it were performed by a marching band.
Maybe so, but I still love the music. It's Rozsa afterall.
What other scores do you think the orchestra came up short in their
performance.
