"Auld Lang Syne" (Which instrument is the best for solo? Euphonium, Trombone or Cornet)

Three brass players with the River City Brass Band.

I know what my choice would be. Hope everyone has a Happy and Healthy New Year. Glad 2020 is over.

They all sounded pretty darn good. But of course I would most always prefer the euphonium!!!

Ravel’s Bolero - played on one cello by four musicians.

In 2004, Stringfever came up with the idea of performing a piece, all on one instrument at the same time.
The result was Ravel’s Bolero.


After sharing this I’m pretty sure this was prerecorded in a studio setting and then a kind of ‘lip synced’ performance in the field. Still impressive.
