This group's youtube videos has been posted here a few times before, playing sambas and such. There is a short bit of the full group playing the Great Gate of Kiev in a church at the end of another video (Schagerl Brass Festival) that is just about the best thing I have ever, ever heard. I had to look for more of them after that!

Bob! Wow! Thanks! That is unbelievable! Not sure I want to give Bydlo to the horns but that is an unbelievable performance! 
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

There playing the Elgar Howarth arrangement for large brass. Howarth's Bydlo is closer to Mussorgsky in as much as in the original piano version it is marked FF. Howarth's version is for six trumpets, 4 horns, 4 trombones, euphonium and 2 tubas. They must be doubling every part.tbn.al wrote:Bob! Wow! Thanks! That is unbelievable!

The Euphonium player plays on a YEP-201, surely he mustn't be any good... 
All joking aside, thanks for sharing! Top-notch playing!

Although you said this "tounge in cheek" the exact opposite couldn't be more true. Here you have a top level professional musician surrounded by others like him playing pro level horns and he chooses a very bottom level,beginner model to play on and makes the best of what the horn has to offer. It makes him quite a excellent musician indeed !
