Every once in a while it's nice to listen to an exceptional European sounding bass trombonist instead of the American syle I'm used to hearing! Great job Mr. Dijk!
at first listen I thought it was going to be "away in the manger" it sounds alot like the entrance to the Tuba christmas arrangement. but to my surprise, it was this awesomeness instead.
Ben Van Dijk simple the best......enough said. Outstanding arrangment by Steven Verhelst on 4th trombone and what a tuba sound from Hendrick Jan Renes. I only wish Ben lived in the UK.
lovely, and a wonderful composition, but I'd like to hear it with Ben's section as the tenor's here don't really blend very well with his massive sound (and the tuba player's). little weak at top end with some 'tromboney' legato. Otherwise, how can you not enjoy Bens playing, as well as the Tuba
That last chord gives me the ubershivers EVERY TIME. I have even recorded this and have it on my MP3 player now, i love it so much. Also, amazing tuba soloist. Impeccable tone and slotting, he doesnt miss.
Very nicely done. I play bass trombone with a brass band in Kansas City, (The Fountain City Brass Band), and really enjoy hearing a warm ensemble sound like that.
Echt heeeel erg mooi.. Wat een klank beheersing! Hier ben ik wel jaloers op hoor! Zet nog meer van zulke video's op het net!! Dit is de derde keer dat ik hem beluister en wordt er nog steeds stil van! Groeten, Gertjan de Wilde
Very very nice video. I am listening to it for the third time and still I am speachless.. Please feed me with more of this! All players are play very good!
At m.130 (3 before "L") is different from the score/parts; Was this changed before it was published? Sound great!

For some reason the bass trombone seems to have a lower pitch than the tuba. Great performance Ben, enough said!

Ben plays pedals below the tuba in a couple spots.

Yes! The Tuba and Bass Trombone go along very well.

@Burgerbob22 That is a F tuba, those pedals are actually on the same particial as the F tuba.

@KnottPatriot I'm not really seeing what you're trying to say. In a couple moments in the piece, Ben plays an octave lower than the tuba.

This is great!
