Bravo!! That really captured the original.

It is great to see this work arranged for these outstanding brass players. It amazes me that brass instruments can give such a wide variety of subtle shades of sound.

Nunca en vida había escuchado algo así , maravilloso , muchas felicidades , un gran arreglo y una ejecución de otro mundo !!!!!

Lovely tone on whatever instrument was playing at 7:48, sounds like a Tuba but I cannot believe it can play so beautifully in the upper register. Amazing how the brass was able to pick up the sting parts so nicely! Excellent!

[@Xenol1997]

That'll be the Euphonium!

Alexander Owen wrote an arrangement of Tristan and Isolde for Besses o’ th’ Barn Band in the late 19th Century. I have never heard it played though

[@CoolstixDave]

Has this arrangement been published ?

[@dimzay]

If they had Wagner Tubas instead of Euphoniums, it would be facing the audience, and that part would sound much more noticeable.

Maybe the conductor asked for the balance he is getting?....
