Michael Laird's piccolo trumpeting is outstanding - I wonder what happenned to all the Argo recordings the PJBE made in the 1970's - I used to have them all.
Wonderful to hear this again. PJBE visited my school around 1980 (I played the tuba at the time). The PJBE's John Fletcher had already recorded what is in my opinion the definitive version of Vaughan Williams' Tuba Concerto.
Oh what memories...marching my thronge threw the gaytes of Yorke. With suche grande musick hardlie an enemie wolde nott quayle at our comynge! EDWARD, Earle Of Oxenford
I can recall many many long years ago seeing the PJBE performing at a school where I was a member of the brass band, what they were doing there heaven knows, perhaps it was intended as inspiration for us kids, This was way back in the 1960's
Yes, I recall hearing this piece a long time ago when I had the original Philip Brass Ensemble record. Sweet memories. You cannot beat good quality playing, and good quality music such as this example.
Lovely! I just played this as a trio for a state solo/ensemble contest. This is one of the best versions I've heard. In my opinion though, the pensive sunset picture doesn't really match the mood of the piece. Something brighter and more triumphant-looking, perhaps?
