This conception of what a brass ensemble should be is wonderful. First of all, the music and the musicality, which conceals the amazing virtuosity of the performers with a great impression of ease. In other famous brass ensembles it's the other way around: almost pornographic technical feats where only one absent element is missed: the music. But the brass of the Concertgebouw orchestra possess the same refinement and delicacy as the strings of the Concertgebouw orchestra.

Que maravilha ouvir J. P. Rameau com esse talentosíssimo grupo de metais da Royal Concertgebouw. LINDO, LINDO!

[robhall]

Played trumpet for 14 years then put it down for 10 years. Recently dove back into it head first. Things like this are very inspirational thank you.

[Sepp-hi]

Unglaublich ... diese Musik von Rameau musiziert, von den mit besten Blechbläsern dieser Zeit ...🎉🎉🎉

[michaelfoxbrass]

I would enjoy listening to this premiere group play anything!

[martinmannion]

Fantastic music, playing and what an arrangement. All so well done. Thank you all.

[andreaskonig]

So very very nice - @Jacco G., reminds me of the good old days in Rotterdam, some 27 years ago.

[simone_euphonium]

Simply perfect, beautiful sound, timing and colours... 👍👍👍

[jaegertiger]

Crisp and AWE inspiring due to such good articulation and entries. Balance is spot-on... in which all voices share with their own unique contribution, whereby making the performance a MASTERPIECE.

[brucekuehn]

Delightful!
Platée is an opera in a prologue and three acts which premiered at festivities for a royal wedding at Versailles in 1745.
Rameau is also remembered today for his 1722 Treatise on Harmony which was fundamental to Western music theory.

[jonghokim]

So beautiful sound!
I miss you guys all.

[bertlochsinspirationforimp]

Altijd een klein feestje om jullie zo weer tegen te komen. Prachtig, en jaloers op zulke beheersing!

[davebiffuk]

Just wonderful. I would buy a CD of this. Please!

[trevorpope]

Thank you for all your recordings, you are a inspiration to all with your musicianship, especially brass players.

[lukelehmuller]

Man, you all are so freaking cool! So inspiring!

Greetings from Colombia!! 🇨🇴🇨🇴 Wonderful performance!

[annewells]

One French horn, and 2 tubas. Wow!! But I what I noticed is that the trumpets are not all shiny. My husband has an old Bach - loves the sound. It's a little beat up. He plays in and manages a brass quintet (they are pretty good ....) but he won't use the Bach because of the way it looks. I've told him he's nuts and have just asked him to watch this video. Magnificent sound! Awesome musicality. Such a pleasure to listen to! And, who cares if the instruments are not perfectly shiny silver?? Thank you for being the good example!

Esta concepción de lo que debe ser un conjunto de metales es maravillosa. Ante todo, la música y la musicalidad, que encubre el virtuosismo asombroso de los intérpretes con una gran impresión de facilidad. En otros conjuntos célebres de metales es al revés: unas proezas técnicas casi pornográficas donde solo se echa de menos a una ausente, la música. Pero los metales de la orquesta del Concertgebouw poseen el mismo refinamiento y la misma delicadeza que la cuerda de la orquesta del Contcergebouw

[andrewveal]

This is my "go to" track on YouTube at the moment - I've bought the music so my brass ensemble #montpellierbrassensemble can have a go - my wife (who's heard a few good trumpet players in the past [Wynton Marsalis, Mark Bennett and recordings of everyone]) tells me there is no way we can play this! You guys are AWESOME. When are you playing over the next 6 months: we might be able to travel to Amsterdam to hear you.

Watching things like this makes me want to pick back up my trombone
