Even after so many years, I can't hear this without crying. The sheer beauty of it.

I listened to this about 300 times by now but it still stuns me as it did the first time. Breathtaking is indeed the best description there is. One of the best soloist and one of the best composers know to mankind combined brings tears to your eyes. Simply brillant.

In my humble opinion the best sop player ever. No gimmicks like looking at people in the band or putting his hand in his pocket during stand up solos no lifting his knee when he plays up high just sheer class. There are bflat cornet players who can play live and let die without the knee jerks.

It's the tone of his notes that sets this soloist apart from others who take this piece of music on, never get tired of listening to it

B Flat Trumpet:most beautiful song I've ever heard is Mae by Herb Alpert,for the Sop this one,and for the B flat Cornet Charles Brady L'histore de soldat

Love the work smart not hard attitude in the last phrase. No reason the front row cornets can't play that and give the soloist a breather before the high c

In 1992, Peter came out to New Zealand and played for Rotorua Brass in the A Grade. We got out best result -2nd. Peter was stunning and totally lifted our band. We played Paganini Variations and London Overture. What a great player and really nice guy.

Peter Roberts accompanied by the YBS band at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall during the European Brass Band Championships in 2004. 'Flowerdale' is from Hymn of the Highlands by Philip Sparke. Flowerdale is a forest in Wester Ross, Scotland, which is well-known for it’s beautiful waterfall and impressive displays of wild flowers.

I love this piece it puts tears to my eyes. I play sop as well. That top C at the end was Incredible. A really good overall band playing the solo was the best!

I'll be performing this again in May with a Texas brass ensemble on my Schilke Eb trumpet. I know: Sacrilege to not do it on cornet. But my Besson Eb cornet was too much of a struggle to keep in tune, especially in the higher register. I've also done it on a Bach C trumpet.

@danabam

I was there in the Royal Concert Hall. YBS's Performances were way above anything before. Both, St Magnus and Music of the Spheres, were simply amazing!
But Peter Roberts made it pure Magic with that Solo.
To bad YBS was "going down" only few later.

I’ve always remembered the one extra accident note played by euphonium around the 1:21 mark and I always love it.

You mean they are human after all? This is a warm, lovely, masterful performance by the lot of them, with Peter Robert's cornet adding the toppings.

Thank you, it's very nice of you, but I have the recording myself. May I also advise you that it is not smart nor safe to put your e-mail address on the net where everyone can see it. Even if you don't have any useful information, hackers may break into your account just for the fun they have doing it.

@reamannmacbiatiagh2057

Philippe, I would love to get this recording on CD,, I had a look around and the score keeps turning up but not a CD. The only information that i can search is Flowerdale Philip Sparks,, If you can give me any more Information on the CD name or where It is available I would be very gratefull.
Thanks, Ray
