    Even after so many years, I can't hear this without crying. The sheer beauty of it.

    I listened to this about 300 times by now but it still stuns me as it did the first time. Breathtaking is indeed the best description there is. One of the best soloist and one of the best composers know to mankind combined brings tears to your eyes. Simply brillant.

      In my humble opinion the best sop player ever. No gimmicks like looking at people in the band or putting his hand in his pocket during stand up solos no lifting his knee when he plays up high just sheer class. There are bflat cornet players who can play live and let die without the knee jerks.

      It's the tone of his notes that sets this soloist apart from others who take this piece of music on, never get tired of listening to it

      B Flat Trumpet:most beautiful song I've ever heard is Mae by Herb Alpert,for the Sop this one,and for the B flat Cornet Charles Brady L'histore de soldat

    Love the work smart not hard attitude in the last phrase. No reason the front row cornets can't play that and give the soloist a breather before the high c

    In 1992, Peter came out to New Zealand and played for Rotorua Brass in the A Grade. We got out best result -2nd. Peter was stunning and totally lifted our band. We played Paganini Variations and London Overture. What a great player and really nice guy.

    To bad YBS was "going down" only few later.

    I'll be performing this again in May with a Texas brass ensemble on my Schilke Eb trumpet. I know: Sacrilege to not do it on cornet. But my Besson Eb cornet was too much of a struggle to keep in tune, especially in the higher register. I've also done it on a Bach C trumpet.

Even if you don't have any useful information, hackers may break into your account just for the fun they have doing it.
