Explorers on the Moon (Paul Raphael) - Cory Band

[@gw2031]

Just watched Brass in concert show on sky TV,, I played cornet from age 8 to 14, my highlight, third place in the Scottish solo championship contest,, then I was seduced by electric guitar and went onto a recording contract in the USA with RCA records but at 57 now the love of brass never leaves me,, watching The Cory Band had me in tears with the Romeo and Juilet ,, absolutely stunning piece,,197 points!!! I posted this to compliment the husband and wife team,,, fantastic players, I have to say the chap on Euphonium, Glyn? is the best I have ever heard in my life, the tone is a gift from somewhere beyond,, I had some of the best times in my life travelling around with Dunfermline brass band in the bus lol,, So glad Cory band keep this music alive at a supreme level. George.

Tom Hutchinson's delicacy is amazing!

Such a shame that the adverts spoil these great performances.

[@steveanderson9515]

OMG this is a spine chilling performance. That mind blowing chord at 3.52 is just the purest chord I’ve ever heard in my life, and then it just gets better. We didn’t have brass bands sounding like this when I started playing in 1959. Absolutely amazing performance. Bravo. I’m Steve Anderson, retired solo euphonium player.

I was a solo euphonium player for many years until I hung my euph up about 20 years ago.

[@rissyhd4231]

Just magnificent ! What a band ! They have been the one to beat for a number of years now.The dynamics on this new composition are terrific,the soloists were faultless no wonder they got the highest score in the contest. Y

[@thomashall4683]

I like that the way it starts continues on from the end of destination moon meaning you could effectively play the two pieces one after another.

[@meh_3695]

MAN that would be a killer concert. The chops to make it through a concert like that would be INSANE too lmao

[@samnoden2713]

I remember listening to this last year. What a performance! The Euph solo is just awesome. Glyn is a true artist, just wow!

[@mikep7814]

Yep, Glyn could be the top eupho player in the movement right now.

[@samnoden2713]

@@mikep7814 Surely got to be up there. Between Glyn, Dan Thomas and Chris Robertson for me. I wish I had the talent them 3 have at the moment

[@mikep7814]

@@samnoden2713 Dan is a great player, but l think he needs some more years under his belt before he becomes one of the greats, but he is without doubt one of the most promising up and coming stars. Has freakish abilities, but his playing needs to mature more so he is more consistent in his musicianship. Sometimes he will lash out and take risks which compromise his music making,ie, he has good days and not so good days. Glyn on the other hand has great consistency and seems to always have good days. Chris is certainly a very good player, but l haven't heard him enough to really know how good he is.

Breathtaking brilliant Wonderful unbelievable. Thank you all.World Beaters.

[@JarvisCoopers]

Phenomenal. First time I've had the opportunity to listen to the whole thing and .... wow! The control, the musicality, the technical prowess, the ensemble playing, like everyone is in the head of the conductor. I just love the emotion at the end of the piece from Maestro (surely he's earned that title by now, hasn't he?) Harper, the tuba player (I can't see if that was Rob or Tim), and of course Steve on sop.

[@williamvangrinsven2229]

Well, the conductor is also the composer, so it's quite obviously it's in his head...

[@thesalvationarmysimcoecomm4019]

@@williamvangrinsven2229 I said it was like the band was in his head. In other words, they were so in sync it was like one brain was playing all the parts.

[@jonathansteele6815]

Absolutely incredible! I love how it resembles Destination Moon in its attitude.

[@hanbuwalda8126]

Awesome performance. Gustav Holst planet like. Changing 5 over 4 bars. Harmonious, high and low notes, focus visible on each player. And look at the release of tension and gladness of the conductor. Inspiring piece of local culture. Greets for the hague.

[@mrjooks999]

listened it again... awesome!

[@thomashall4683]

What a band!

[@georgemelitsis2607]

Chris Thomas has a sound unlike any other. So big, so rich.

[@rhythmicdisciple7045]

He adds so much to the sound of this band. Buttery, powerful, depth, clarity in the quiet moments and more importantly his phrasing is always exquisite...bravo Cory!!!

[@williamvangrinsven2229]

Stunning to see Paul Raphael himself conducting! ;-)

[@worldofbrassdotcom1886]

We agree!

Glyn is the best Euph player in the world in my opinion

wow! excellent! Great to see Dan Sharpe at there on 3rd cornet - I know you must be enjoying playing at that level. In the last few years, I lost hearing in my left ear.........not sure if you would known anything about that?

Don't want to offend anyone, but i'm actually disappointed about that piece. Destination Moon in my opinion has far better parts than this one.

[@DDMultitracks]

This piece is fantastic but I completely agree. I think destination moon had more “flavors” of music would be the best way to describe it.

[@janetstrusowski6671]

Wow!
