The Cory Band - William Tell Overture Finale

[@azclaimjumper]

Tom Hutchinson is the Cornet soloist that drew the applause from the Band Director, the Choir & the audience. I've NEVER heard such a fast furious Cornet Solo, EVER. I've replayed that portion of this video a hundred times, can't get enough of it. An intellectual is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture & NOT think of the Lone Ranger. "Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, from out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver, The Lone Ranger Rides Again..........

I’m a brass bander and i think the most impressive part is the speed combined with the precision.

[@septembersurprise5178]

Hi Ho AG.

[@roystone9932]

Brings tears to your eyes , i keep thinking how LUCKY is that audience to witness these world class brass players at their finest , sheer brilliance .

[@zevyzions]

Why do they play so fast? Because they can! Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@isopath1]

And because the score says 160crotchets to the minute.

[@EngPheniks]

at this rate, the horse won't be able to run 😵

[@ThomasJPitts]

I don’t think it is played well. It’s needlessly fast. Impressive but it loses majesty at this tempo.

[@ThomasJPitts]

@@isopath1 This is way over 160. More like 170 - and at that speed, a small increase is exponential.

[@pistoleroshooter2575]

One never sees anyone playing this without looking like they're loving it. Whether it's Glen Campbell on a 12 string guitar or Buddy Greene on a harmonica, or the Grimley brass band, this is a fantastic piece of music. It lifts my soul no matter when and where I hear it. Wonderful performance, thank you very much.

[@fpoasec]

Love seeing two of my favorites mentioned in one comment - the late great Glen Campbell and Buddy Greene.

[@markdavies794]

Hell of a tempo, well done Tom on that awesome solo part.

As a long ago tuba player, I keep coming back to this amazing performance by all, especially those four big brass masters!

[@BuckSwope]

Bravo ! What energy from the band, and the drive from Maestro Harper. Seriously fantastic stuff, Ian Roberts on Soprano too, that top A 0:10 - 0:12 would love to see him back at Cory on Sop. Tom H solo was sublime **clappy hands*

[@Ari-ek6ww]

One of the best versions I've heard 👍🏻

Wow. Just wow. Every so often when I need a lift...or something to smile about, I search this out. Thank you...maybe someday, will see you on the "other side of the pond". I'm in charge of a venue just as beautiful as yours there...but...keep giving us reason for home, Maestro!

[@RikardPeterson]

First thought: That tempo is way too fast for this music. But it actually does work, and not just in a "look how fast we can play" way. That is impressive.

[@isopath1]

No. You're not used to someone taking the time to read the score and the tempo correctly. 160 crotchets a minute equates to 320 quavers a minute which is BLOODY FAST.

[@RikardPeterson]

@@isopath1 Yes, it's supposed to be fast, but Cory is closer to 180 here, and clearly above the usual tempo. (I don't know where you're getting the number 160? This brass band arrangement? I don't know if Rossini wrote metronome markings, but I've looked at two editions of the original and they were both marked ♩= 152 Allegro Vivace. 152 is not much different to 160, so not much to argue about, but you don't have a leg to stand on if you're arguing for original intent of the composer, as this is played at a notably quicker tempo than either.) But as I initially said, this is well played, and they are making their tempo work. That is the important thing.

[@keithmoon3190]

It is fast for it to sound like a cartoon chase song. Something similar to Wallace and Gromit or Looney tunes or animaniacs.

[@trumpetguy13]

Three thoughts: 1) Now THATS how you freakin play the William Tell Overture! 🤤🤤 2) I think this is the best Conductor I’ve ever seen. He truly understands that his role is to get out of the musician’s way, direct traffic and have fun doing it. That’s what it’s all about. 3) I can’t help but feel like this version is like the song from “That Thing You Do,” where the drummer starts playing the song TONS faster than they usually play it, and the rest of the band is like “Eh screw it. Let’s just for it,” and then absolutely CRUSH it. Haha

[@coombscharlie]

I was at that concert. It was really good! (By the way, the choir standing behind the band were the Treorchy Male Choir. There aren't many places where you can hear a world class brass band and a world famous choir perform in the same beautiful venue on the same evening.)

[@johnsmith-rs2vk]

BRAVO !

[@williamvasilion5169]

This is one of the better performances I have heard. Aaron Copeland conducts the New York Symphony Orchestra with Leonard Bernstein standing in the wings, but this is far superior due to the bad quality of recordings then.

[@roystone9932]

..............................had to watch that again , just to make sure.

[@roycraggs2058]

Really enjoyable to both watch and listen to. First class brass. I think the only time I have heard the William Tell Overture played at that tempo was on the soundtrack to the film A Clockwork Orange. Stunning, nevertheless.
