This arrangement is genius. It's brilliant how they use particular methods to sound like way more than just 5 players- kinda like a barber shop quartet

[@domsusefulstuff]

I really thought this was at least ten people when I had only listened to it.

[@MrCurlybow]

I have played this...buckle up, it asks for every skill you have. I love the grin on the 1st trumpeters face at 2:45 or so when they pick up the tempo after he starts the fugue. It's cool to hear it played again. It was the first tune I ever heard them play on the original album in the 70's. And it just knocked me out.

[@domsusefulstuff]

Do you know why they smiled?

[@H34D7]

They are simply the best brass quintet to grace our ears. Always have been, and probably will be.

[@chabooga]

This is my favorite version of this song. There is nothing more powerful than the sound of brass.

[@schon1jc]

I wish you all would stop complaining about the last chord and use/non use of vibrato and just appreciate it for what it is, which is another nice arrangement of a great piece. Unless you know if this was at the beginning or end of a long concert where chops were going downhill and thus pitch goes too, or maybe they weren't on their game...just stop talking. About vibrato, this is their interpretation of the piece, so deal with it. Play it your way when you do it. That's the beauty of music.

[@ExternalTooth]

jeez these guys never cease to amaze me...

[@Pandolin11]

It's sad to look at this. After watching the Live in Atlanta videos (with them being so young), and then seeing Chuck and Gene up there in their oldies, it jerks a tear. Long live CanBrass!

[@formerblueberet]

to say " Thank You" is not adequate this is numerous hours of hard work playing every day, Incredible performance Canadian Brass!!!!!!

[@jcrixell92]

absolutely flawless.

[@ggans2339]

you really see how ryan anthony enjoyes this! i love it!

[@jle.99]

my teacher introduced me to canadian brass and i can't get enough of how awesome the sound

[@zacharyrushing4098]

highly recommended brass band to listen to. my university trumpet ensemble is performing this song and hearing these guys do it influenced how hard we will work to do it

[@TheHatTuba]

@WW2obsession Charles Daellenbach uses the YCB-621 C tuba. It's a really fun horn to play!

[@rdaniel59]

You have never listened to The Canadian Brass before then. I have heard just about every incarnation of the group since 1978 and that's a brass thing they do.

[@AnaClara0071]

I meant mr. Anthony is the principal trumpet of the Dallas symphony, Canadian Brass you are awesome

[@edozman47]

loving the circular breathing at 2:08, what a champ!

[@mattio79]

@chabooga to tell you the truth, the instrument for which this piece was designed, the Wurlitzer Pipe organ, with most of the stops pulled, is WAY more powerful than 1,000 brass instruments all together. 30,000 watt sound systems struggle to replicate the sound of the 64-feet long pipes of the grand wurlitzer.

[@WilliamSmith-jf5ko]

Such wonderful talent. Although Chuck the tuba guy is now the only original member, a recent live performance I attended proved this group is still at the top.

[@WhoTheKing1]

This might be one of the coolest versions of this song I've ever heard. Sooooo good.

[@biggreenblob]

It's simply amazing what these men can do with so few voices.

[@tubatethannover]

CANADIAN BRASS AT IT'S BEST!!!

[@Sker91]

The only men alive who can get away with wearing black shirts, black pants, and white shoes.

[@pccbassbone]

@Nintendoman851 It's called a Picardy 3rd when there's a major chord at the end of a piece in minor. It's a common baroque technique.

[@callmedavid]

Fantastic.

[@davidschwartz3427]

That little horn part around 1:00 is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@DJRickinson]

best...rendition...ever! trumpet player all the way.

[@Frightning]

@chabooga search for bach toccata and fugue in d minor 214 ranks here on youtube and play the first video....that is MY favorite version....

[@rosinaldo94]

JUST GREAT

[@askz9271]

thank you Canadian brass for publishing this piece because me and my friends are playing this for the las Vegas solo and ensemble next year

[@tyronus4329]

awesome peformance

[@woutervanhoof1169]

My favorite Canadian Brass line-up :-)

[@nelsonutella]

One of my favorite renditions of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor!

[@iteinflammateomnia]

The horn player needed to be louder however.

[@jamesbailey4897]

Nelson Tan unfortunately the horn player just wasn't that loud in the earlier Canadian brass days. The guy on Basin Street is absolutely fantastic though!

[@MasterAccordionKing]

Beautiful

[@yararose8432]

i love the beautiful french horn!!!!

[@11chuckles1]

Man those guys are incredible...how could you dislike this?

[@TheSlideFactor]

They are absolutely GREAT!!! please people, search for "Glissando Ensemble" and tell me what you think, I am really interested in your comments, Thanks

[@jones2884]

evrybody will agree that canadian brass has awesome players but i have to say that such pieces , if played on brass sound just even more impressive in bigger essembles

[@bradbolz9541]

Jeff Nelson is my favorite Canadian Brass French Horn player of all time.... He can do things with that horn I did not know could be done......and I've known some mighty fine French Horn players. Stunning...

[@Jacob-du5if]

agreed... nelsen is an inspirational talent and also one of the greatest teachers if you ask me. him or vermuellen, but nelsen is less of an ass ;)

[@doctorgrowl]

Like playing the piccolo trumpet solo on Penny Lane, being able to handle the trumpet parts of this arrangement has become a rite of passage for trumpeters aspiring to the highest levels of their craft. We saw the Canadian Brass in their first performance with Ryan Anthony (not the performance in this video) and this piece confirmed that he was a very worthy successor to Fred Mills.

[@LittleG567]

Incredible live performance of that piece!

[@aakao2593]

That horn player is out of this world.

[@kptbone1]

What is the deal with the nice suits and the white tennis shoes? While i may disagree with what canadians must consider high fashion I do find these to be a top notch group of player. Very impressive performance.

[@poetsgirl]

woodwind players....or drummers. Kidding, it fantastic and bless all with even a little of this talent.

[@AnaClara0071]

Great performance. Now mr. Anthony is the principal trumpet of the Dallas Symhonybzorchestra!

[@oXxXChicoXxXo]

@MusicBeSweetYo i am a woodwind player and i loved it.

[@speedyneutrino1729]

Tom Hanks on trumpet.

[@FarlleyDerze]

+SpeedyNeutrino172 Voilà !!

[@ssjauron92590]

+SpeedyNeutrino172 Hahahahaha literally first thing I thought.

[@biggreenblob]

lol his second wish from the "Zoltar" machine was for the ability to play a musical instrument.

[@jameskelly7180]

It's Ryan Antony

[@aaronwhite02]

Lol

[@Gosiak92]

[@biznock19]

[@peepzstar]

[@emusiknote5743]

[@rollothecat2010]

[@Ronald_Whitesel]

[@oregonpug6924]

[@sibelius51]

Felicidades para ustedes canadian Brass muy buenos en la musica. desde peru - CUSCO. reciban muchos saludos.

[@Canadoggo]

I’m glad that people from around the world are giving more credit to other musicians. Makes me happy. From Canada

[@MrTrackman100]

Nothing like the brass sound---10X better than organ's!!

[@ericashmusic8889]

Bravo Trombone-The whole thing is brilliantly and expertly done,but I know how hard it is for a trombone player to maintain tone pitch and power at speed, Bravo all.!! & thanks for letting us share it you guys.

[@nolanmcgurn5843]

I love the Horn!

[@davez0rd]

Goosebumps

[@Comhead1234]

YES that last chord is in tune in this version!

[@CalvertdeGrey]

He does look like Hanks, doesn't he? It is Ryan Anthony, the principal trumpet of the Dallas Symphony.

[@bobthb]

@Rollydamaster No, Bach actually doesn't end this piece with a picardy third.

[@dublcheez]

i had the pleasure of hearing this, and many other pieces, played in concert. You guys are very entertaining

[@ItalianBrassWeek]

bravooooooooooo.....hope to have you at the Italian Brass week some time......... ciaooooooo

[@kingbucky6]

thanx for uploading this it really made my day.

[@flash_football5]

kingbucky6 wow an old comment

[@Trowaish]

nice, good song

[@lucassilvalemos22]

Isso é mágico... muito lindo. Lamento apenas o fato desse tipo de musica não ter o valor que lhe é devido aqui no Brasil. Isso é cultura! Isso sim é música.

[@jttrumpet55]

The new trumpet players do a wonderful rendition and would make Ronald Romm and Fred Mills proud. RIP Fred.......JT

[@ConorDrummer]

Astounding.

[@Kralperri]

truly amazing!

[@smallhouse35]

This is so powerful, but I must say that they did not play the Tuba pedal note that I heard in a different recording in ~1:00 But long live the Canadian Brass!

[@Cecillet]

Ryan Anthony is my hero. He is the best!

[@jeremiedesaulniers3671]

That's sounds great !

[@cheristringer4780]

Just heard/saw Canadian Brass play this piece this evening in Wheaton, IL. Only the tuba player was the same as this performance. The performance on KZbin was better.

[@rexthegreenengine3285]

that was awesome!

[@utebinder8348]

Ihr beide seid ein Superteam 😀😇 ❤🎉, Herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland !❤

[@kontra93]

[@Manulalitas1508]

Awesome!

[@FrankLeonardStar]

Instead of playing d minor at the end, they played a picardy third.(d major) idk why they would change that.

[@Nabokov50]

I think J.S. Bach would have been very pleased.

[@senoviorodriguez2380]

high school band played for district competition. organ is best but this is just great ... with just 5 instruments.

[@Altophish]

Crazy wow! I thought I was just going to "check this one out really quick." Thanks for sharing this one
