Here are Son's youth symphony performances of
O Mio Babbino Caro
and the third Brandenburg Concerto
In O Mio Babbino Caro, he is playing a bass solo along with the harp for about the first 20 bars - admittedly, it's very hard to hear his part; I don't think their recording equipment is very sophisticated. But it's still cool. The Brandenburg has always been one of my favorite pieces, and they did a pretty good job. By coincidence, about a week later all the school orchestras in the city had a day-long judging/performance event, and the local high school group played the same piece, but in the original (not an arrangement). He was quite impressed with the difference just a few more years will make.
