Wonderful. Thank you. It's a long, long time since I heard this piece by the English Master Benjamin Britten (one of the many composers whose music largely doesn't travel outside their own country). I like very much instead of simply having the 3 trumpets simply play together he first has each play unrelated figures solo then together and across each other before coming together at the end. The acoustic here is perfect. Many years ago I owned a recording on the Argo label of this piece played by Elgar Howarth, John Wilbraham & Philip Jones. I heard a radio interview subsequently with Jones in which he said he had pretty much begged Britten many times to write a brass quintet but Britten had always demurred saying he couldn't hear that " sound" in his head. The mastery of this short piece and the writing for the trumpet shows what we missed.

I've always loved this fanfare, the way three bits in different keys come together at the end.
Lovely! This was the fanfare for my wedding...felt like a Queen!!! TY for the memories...
This is very good !
Bravo!
When the composer of this polytonal fanfare was young, his teacher called him "the little boy who likes Stravinsky."
