It takes an orchestra of the highest quality to perform this man's music,and a great conductor. This orchestra has both.😊❤😊

This symphony, with this conductor and orchestra, made Howard Hanson my favorite composer. In an age of bitter anxiety and hellish mockery of good, it stands as a beacon to true love and beauty.

I recall attending that concert, 31 years ago in the pre-renovated Opera House. It was an exciting performance and Gerard Schwarz was quite a champion of 20th century American Romantic style composers, of which Hanson is the exemplar. The only musicians I could spot who are still playing in the 2023 SSO are Mark Robbins and Seth Krimsky (there are probably others). My friend Charlie Butler looks so young and dashing; he’s gone grey (like me) but still strong on the trumpet, most recently performing Bruckner 7 with the Charleston Symphony this past weekend.

I believe this was part of a PBS type concert show at that time, and that Bruckner's 4th was also on the bill? Anyway I agree with the assessment of Schwarz. I arrived in Seattle shortly after he did in the early 1980's, and he taught me so much. Terrific orchestra.

This is my favorite version of this wonderful piece. The horn section is perfect, and usually ruins many of the performances by either be off-key or off-tempo.

For horror sci-fi fans, 10:19 is the end title music of the classic movie, Alien. What a beautiful piece of music for the end of an incredible movie. "Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo, third officer reporting. The other members of the crew - Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash, and Captain Dallas - are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ellen Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off." Still moves me when I hear Ripley's sign off and the music begins.

Certainly. When I went to see the newly released movie and heard the closing theme I was shocked by the beauty; I did not know the origin of this beautiful piece, and 25 years later I bought CD´s of Howard Hanson and I cried of joy to have found this musical jewel.

@@denisjavierangulo8851it really is a beautiful piece of music. Goldsmith's score was incredible. But I think Howard Hansons music just fit better at the end. It's so peaceful and moving and hopeful. It contrasts so well with horror the crew of the Nostromo had to face.

WOW - I'm disappointed but not surprised the youtube search algorithm pretty much hides this most excellent performance. Happy to find this - it is a work like much of Hanson's output that seems simple but to pull off effectively requires skill. This also reminds me how much Gerry Schwarz really got the Seattle Symphony and in particular the brass section into great shape. Thank you Bill Fast for posting this, you've made my evening!

Hanson had the audacity to write music with beautiful melodies at a time that music was mired in the chicanery of the avant guard and twelve tone crap. Composers who were pulling the wool over our eyes were hailed while the real music, like Hanson wrote, was relegated to obscurity.
