I absolutely did not recognize him! I loved the playing though. I rewatched the video. They do introduce him. I think I must have stepped away and missed that. A blast from the past! wow!Originally posted by RickF View PostLast edited by Davidus1; 02-24-2014, 10:22 AM.John 3:16

The general idea and concept of euphonium sound, and brass band sound in general has changed. In the '70s and '80s brass bands and thus, euphonium players, presented a darker and smoother sound than they do today. I believe even back then many brass works were still transcriptions from other mediums; meant to be played very smoothly and sonorously. Today, now that established composers are writing tons of original works for brass band, the style of playing has changed, as the style of pieces has changed. Composers are putting a million notes in their pieces and brass bands are playing louder, bigger, and brighter.

On the heels of the Olympics IMO the figure skating analogy fits quite nicely. Guys these days guys need a great quad and triple axel to compete and win while ladies need various triple-triples and body defying tricks like the full leg-up split spin at turbo speed. Did Dorothy Hammill and Peggy Fleming need it or did they rely on style and grace? Extreme athleticism is more and more necessary to successfully compete in today's world, musically or otherwise. Maybe that's why a throwback to a beautiful smooth performance such as this is so appealing.Originally posted by K_Aufderhar View PostBob Tampa FL USA
