Back again for another Christmas season to listen to Matthias! Anyone else revisiting this piece?

[@S0GGYJ0EY]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

[@nerdtronaut]

I saw Matthias Höfs live on Tuesday and got an autograph 😊

[@mmgm8752]

@@nerdtronaut Very envious!

[@StocksIn60Seconds]

No one understands. Brass doesn’t get any better. Trust me. I’ve heard nearly every popular ensemble on this planet in the free world, and this is the last one you ever need to listen to. The Germans got it right and have been blessed by the Lord with their musical creativity. It just doesn’t get better.

[@ardeleandan7]

I always said that there is no brass ensemble în the entire world like German Brass and no trumpeter like Matias Hofs!

[@Me-wk7dz]

No such thing as "best", each group has their own charm, and each audience member their own taste. I enjoy many groups just as much, especially european brass bands like the Cory Band/Black Dyke Mills

[@yanwo2359]

Far beyond beautiful. Absolute perfection is every way. I have no trouble believing your assertion that brass doesn't get any better.

[@aimg_trompete843]

Matthias Höfs. Einer der besten Trompeter jemals. Soooo gut gespielt.

[@LydiaHeil]

Wonderful! Amen❤

[@mmgm8752]

So glad it's getting close to Christmas so I can listen to this performance in continuous loop mode and people don't think I'm crazy. Best rendition available. Thanks EuroArts for posting it!

[@thomasyamaguchi6434]

absolute precise and dedicated.

[@RobBaldridge]

Absolute perfection!

[@BelCantoization]

Absolutely fabulous tone, intonation, articulation, and execution--I'm a big fan of the old Empire Brass, but I don't know if I've ever heard a better brass ensemble!

[@tomyoarrete3060]

No words, just amazing

[@markbeckwith1418]

Well that was fabulous. Love the Christmas Oratorio and particularly enjoyed the phrases from "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden" which is Bach's reminder of what is to come after we get the Baby Jesus out of our system. Ach, I sound like an insufferable DMA (you know who you are). Most interesting to me was I started this video (got the link from a friend) then went off to work on other electronic things, and, not seeing the video, I could have sworn it was accompanied by strings! That's brilliant playing where this is the result! Excellent! Kudos! Look at me I snuck in some Greek, too. Doubly insufferable. Triply insufferable closing in Latin: SDG. Merry Christmas all you brass weenies out there! Time for hot cocoa!

[@chriskutscher]

einfach fantastisch gespielt.. bravi tutti

[@johnsmall5901]

I love the natural 3 second reverb of the venue!

[@mjim-nb6tg]

BESTIal... ❤❤❤🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦

[@corneliusvonzitzewitz9241]

der Wahnsinn, mega Hammer

[@123pandayt4]

Matthias Höfs amazing!

[@thomasyamaguchi6434]

Beautiful and well done.

[@danielhenriquesorucoolivei4570]

Uma das mais belas composições de Bach!

[@awreckingball]

The best bit is the bit that goes 'duh du du duh du du duh'

[@jriverid]

Al acercarse Navidad, un recuerdo afectuoso a la familia de Enrique Crespo, fundador y director de este grupo. RI. P. QUIQUE, en Uruguay muchos recordamos tu música y tu amistad. Un lujo está grabación.

[@danielrodriguez9630]

Un bravo a la trompeta.

[@JoanneGareau]

calming our chaos

[@nicorkydude]

Perfect.

[@berndbohnenkamp7317]

Meisterlich

[@edwardswilliamsj]

Brillante!!!

[@reinulio]

Der vollkommen ausgereifte Sound der Trompete (Piccolo) ist beeindruckend und ist die professionelle Antwort zu den zahlreichen YT Videos mit den medienwirksamen "Youngstars"...(die sicher auch gut spielen)

[@simont9195]

also in the summer a nice song!! :)

[@mihordeadana2368]

Brilliant

[@montsesalapericas7523]

UNA PRECIOSIDAD

[@kristijangrdjan6031]

I like this part of the composition very much, but with this interpretation, it is superb!

[@jonaskopacek7602]

Im remember my house...

[@WogsterMeDroid]

Sehr güt

[@jahcreator]

No one said Dwight Schrute would be on trumpet killing it

[@eugenstraka313]

Pĕkné

[@batecado250400]

Alabado sea Jesucristo!!!❤😅

[@matzek.9119]

Da hätte der Bach aber die Ohren gespitzt.😀.

[@kcr7860]

Er spielt wirklich das, was da geschrieben steht; viele andere nicht

[@zhangsixuan]

Wenn er dieser hohe Stelle spielt, man hört sich sehr locker wie normale Tonlage

[@hansfranz5361]

Bei den hohen Tönen wechselt sich Matthias Höfs mit Christoph Baerwind ab.

[@HiredGoonage]

Unbelievable

[@jeffespenshade5203]

I just shared this with some colleagues, and before I did I put the title into google translate. According to google translate, the English translation of the title is "Now you are probably smelled." Can anyone confirm or correct this??

[@ClemensZwei]

Not really. Literally "gerochen" means "smelled". But here it could mean "justified" or "avenged".

[@OckhamsChainsaw1337]

It is an antiquated participle of "rächen" which means "avenged". And "wohl" can mean "probably" but also (relevant in this context) "well".

[@jimbrumme]

love this piece...is this brass version published anywhere?

[@moniqueapple8393]

I'm watching this because my dearest friend sent it to me.

[@toddavis8603]

Christ born, and-----brass sounding out praises!!!!

[@verito_114sierra3]

Alguien que hable español.

[@jorgejimenez825]

yo bro, esto es espectacular
