As much as I love Boban and Marko Markovic, I think a full set of their Balkan brass brilliance is too much for me. Their festival and brass battle sets in past years were incredibly focused, getting the mix of traditional Eastern European dance tunes and more modern, technically challenging pieces absolutely spot-on, but there were long stretches tonight that were just a bit self-indulgent. Fantastic at times, but it wasn't a patch on the Barbican performance last year.
