IMO, this is the best version of Harlequin I’ve found on KZbin.

[@RobbertVosEuphonium]

Thank you so much!

[@DeclanCunningham]

I completely agree

[@DeclanCunningham]

As a euphonium player this is very satisfying to listen to.

[@RobbertVosEuphonium]

Thank you!

[@RobbertVosEuphonium]

Thanks for your respond Truman! I play on a Sterling Virtuoso Euphonium with a K&G 3,5D mouthpiece! I studied a lot of Arban and Clarke exercises to get the quick technique working! Good with studying on the piece. It's great fun!

Studying arban and clarke excercises will benefit all brass players in direct proportion to how much time is spent at it. Ya gotta chop the wood, everyone!

Struggle to understand how 3 people disliked this tremendous solo by Robbert Vos!

[@meanathradon]

struggling to understand how 36 have now disliked it... i guess they hate music?

[@newworldorpheus551]

*sigh* these comments are getting outdated now that youtube has removed the dislike count

[@DouggieDinosaur]

Tuba players.

[@alternatemusicaddict5226]

I love the 2nd euphonium in the background it’s like a second side to the solo

[@ardeladimwit]

this is amazing... really miss my instrument and whoever told me that euphonium was not a solo instrument really did not comprehend the versatility or temperament of the instrument, but it is definitely the best of all brass instruments. This would have been so much fun for me.

[@inkspotvods]

im 16 and have been playing the euphonium for about a year in concert band. im currently taking lessons so i can improve the fundimentals, especially my tone. You sir, are incredible and im using your solo as motivation

[@littleblue7838]

Are you still playing 9 years later?

[@swarzn8r]

This performance is astounding...what's also astounding is the fact that 5 people disliked this...

[@andrewscott557]

Usually just dislike bots. Highly doubt that was a conscious decision. One of my favorite euphonium solos of all time

[@jethrothorne4801]

I felt good about getting my BPM to 150... even tho 160ish is not much more, it feels exponential. I absolutely am astounded by this performance Mr. Voss. Definitely my favorite I’ve heard thus far.

[@RobbertVosEuphonium]

Many thanks and keep going for it!!

My band teacher is a euphonium player and he plays the solo before class almost every day

[@j.martinez8767]

What a showoff

[@yuujoupop]

That’s not the right choice of words :/

[@diannanorris900]

Such emotion in all of his performances. It's like the music tells a story. So beautiful, such talent. Thank you for sharing. I am a fan for life.

[@RobbertVosEuphonium]

Many thanks!!

[@vincedangelo902]

@@RobbertVosEuphonium I've been listening to this video on and off for years, basically since you put it up. I always come back to it because I can't find a better performance of this piece. I just listened to Steven Mead's take on the first movement, he plays great and all, but I think your interpretation of the entire first movement, especially between 3:08 and 4:40 is just the best way to play this thing. Fantastic.

[@RobbertVosEuphonium]

@@vincedangelo902 Really appreciate your comment and that means a lot to me! Really glad you enjoy it so much!

[@amazingace3972]

Ive listened to this over 300 times

[@CincoDrums]

This sounds amazing. As someone who has studied under Dr Bowman and who has listened to many recording of this piece, this is truly fantastic.

[@s1914]

Stunning! 👏👏

[@sergeyserov6244]

Браво... Несбывшаяся мечта юности, аж слезы пробивает...

[@euphoniceuph123]

Class! Very well done. I like the places he uses rubato in the slow ballad section. It makes the performance sound so special! He uses so much colour in his playing! Keep going, I would love to hear more like this!

[@caydab1]

Just a thrill to hear your artistry. Thank you many times over.

[@mopierterts]

Ongelooflijk, hoe een euphonium klank de emoties naar boven kan halen. Heel mooie uitvoering en 🎩chapeau aan de uitvoerder 💐❤️👏

[@breadenjoyer7986]

Gotta love the tone you have… absolutely wonderful. beautifully played, one of, if not the best out there.

[@LAUptegrove]

Outstanding interpretation with fantastic technique.

[@jhonycleiton327]

here I am listening for the thousandth time 😍 ♥ ️

[@RobbertVosEuphonium]

Thanks!!!!

[@anoukvandegraaf8616]

There it is. Right in front of my nose. Exactly the same. Probably the hardest I've ever seen... It's played beautiful, I must add!

[@CharlesManley]

I was looking for something to show a co-workers child who just started on the Euphonium to give him something to which to aspire... thank you. Very nice!

[@nefariousmusicpublications5264]

Magic

[@RobbertVosEuphonium]

Thanks!

[@MarcioAraujoGO]

Amazing Euphonium sounds... I love that!!!!!

[@JoshuaEricksonJr.]

im playing this (hopefully) for my last recital this fall

[@kenkarsonn]

You are incredible! I took a teaching brass course this semester at university, and we learned to play all the brass instruments. Euphonium was by far my favorite to play... I love the sound! I'm having my senior composition recital next year, so I want to compose a euphonium sonata. :)

[@zacharyjohnson2634]

I practice almost every day and my future goal is to sound as superb as you! Keep up the fantastic work :)

[@Danny-sy7bg]

Do you sound as superb as him yet?

[@RobbertVosEuphonium]

Hahah!

[@TheListerbo]

Gorgeous

[@JonOlaivar]

The upper range on the Adams euphonium is so beautiful. Coming from a Besson 2052 owner.

[@elfinowl]

An exciting piece played with verve and skill. Thanks for this wonderful solo!

[@RobbertVosEuphonium]

That's really kind of you! Thanks!

[@spleesplesson]

I love Harlequin. The end.

[@RobbertVosEuphonium]

I have studied with Piet Joris, tubaplayer of the Brabant Symphony Orchestra and I followed several private lessons with Bernard Berniers, Nick Ost, Thomas Ruedi and a lot more!

[@minivipiu2733]

Perfect!!!

[@honigdachs.]

A wonderful piece and a fantastic performance.

[@SillyLilGuyIsSilly]

This is making me want to buy a euphonium so badly, i haven’t been able to play in years! This is such a treat to listen to!

[@Dylan2007sha]

The hardest Euph solo I've ever heard.. and you've played it the best I've ever heard. Good job sir.

[@slsshelby]

By FAR my favorite recording of this piece. Just splendid. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

[@roquai06]

perfect in every way...

[@grahamm3139]

Absolutely fantastic.

[@BondDaniel4449]

Defiantly a piece to really show what the euphonium has to offer. Both a beautiful sound and still be able to have fun (fast parts). Lots of inspiration. Thanks

[@lu990415]

This is great!!

[@MasonRichards]

Played this at my last sophomore year concert. Pretty epic

[@vampire909011]

hey dude nice sound! wonderfull job. I play euphonium myself and have always wanted to play this piece. Its so beautifull!

Very Nice !!!

[@vinnie460]

goed gedaan, ik vind het een erg mooi nummer wat je speeld en ik vind het geluid mooi klinken.

[@trulabu]

BRAVO! That was absolutely amazing! Great tone, technique, AMAZING! What brand of horn and mouthpiece do you play on if you don't mind me asking? Also.. I'm trying to tackle this piece right now. What is the best way to approach it? An exercises I should to help me through some of rough passages in the second movement? Thanks, and again...BRAVO!

[@denisfrederickjohnson4831]

Something that immediately stands out to me is the roundness/richness of your tone doesn't change abit from lyrical excerpts to technical sections. It never gets short, choppy or static-y in an effort to sound 'fast'. THAT is the mark of some serious wind & technique! I adore it... .. . On another note, please oh please tell me you've performed/recorded the 3rd mvmt of the Cosma???? :-)

[@mr.randomness7364]

+Denis Frederick Johnson on another note. see what you did there

schitterend!!

Badass

[@michaelwenhold8117]

Magnificent playing!! Such beautiful tone and the runs are unbelievable!! I am looking to upgrade my horn, I play in a small ensemble at my church. Can you recommend a good horn in the $1000- $2000 range?? Thank you !!

[@proSpiritofTruth]

Hello, the two up and coming euphonium players whom I really like are yourself and Glen Van Rooy, and I am wondering if you can tell me anything more what the cup inside your K&G 3.5D mouthpiece is like and how thick the shell is. I use a Parentucci 24T-4Cand like as deep a U cup as I can get with as thick a shell. Although, once I settle on what I really like long term, I would like to get my own design so I can mass produce them in the material I like which is vacuum spun cast pure CP titanium

[@proSpiritofTruth]

I meant to finish my description, which is grade 2 in titanium. Giddings Webster UKhave had great testimonials from orchestral tuba players and also euphonium players and they do not even cast their titanium which is a more toxic alloy with vanadium I think. I would also like your opinion on Sterling as I am most interested in Paul Riddick who I understand was the last manger of Boosey & Hawkes. love my vintage Imperial valve compensating euphonium especially because of its thick vibrant bell

[@marciovicentelino1777]

Boa tarde amigo é preciso apertar o bocal na boca para pegar nota aguda

[@henriquefantato9804]

Márciovicente Lino Não se aperta a boca em nenhum jeito! Para atingir notas agudas deve se pressionar os labios contra eles mesmos.

[@Capivaradaily.]

deve-se mandar muito ar para o bocal e vibrar muito bem mas nunca apertar.

[@finbartellwright4199]

Just a question... What sort of level would you put this piece at? I've just done my ATCL and looking for new repertoire!! I assume this is more FTCL level. Any suggestions for repertoire would be greatly appreciated. Absolutely stunning playing btw. CRAZY PLAYING!!!!

[@RobbertVosEuphonium]

Finbar Tellwright Thanks for your reply. I don’t know what ATCL and FTCL is so I’m not able to help you. Feel free to send me a message through the contact form on my website: euphonium.blog

Hey Robbert, Ten eerste prachtig gespeeld hoop nog meer van je te zien hier. Ik vroeg mij ook af heb jij niet toevallig ook ooit les gegeven bij Exempel jaar of 5/6 geleden? Je komt me zo bekend voor namelijk.
