Flight of the Bumblebee - Canadian Brass

This 2012 video, "Flight of the Bumblebee," is the title tune on CANADIAN BRASS' premiere Steinway & Sons label release, and, the first recording with all of the new permanent members of the ensemble: Chuck Daellenbach (tuba), Chris Coletti and Brandon Ridenour (trumpets), Achilles Liarmakopoulos (trombone) and Eric Reed (horn). After 40 years, the BRASS have maintained a remarkable consistency in their style and virtuosity, even as the individual members have gradually changed.

Nominated for a Juno award in 2013, "Canadian Brass Takes Flight" is the first recording featuring the Brass' new, gold-plated Conn-Selmer & Bach instruments. The repertoire includes favourite encores, new arrangements, and world premieres. As with their other recent releases, this disc is an audiophile sonic blockbuster, produced by Dixon Van Winkle and MB Daellenbach.

Brandon was inspired to write this arrangement of "Flight of the Bumblebee" for his colleagues by the trumpet and piano arrangement he and his father Rich Ridenour created for their own duo.

Canadian Brass would like to thank FACTOR (The Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent On Recordings) for their assistance on this album.

These guys are incredible. I play French Horn and my daughter plays trumpet for the Utah Symphony. These guys are amazing.

[nathantieche]

What oil/grease does that trombone player use? i want some

[MattyBmemes]

poor guy having to flight of the bumblebee on tuba while standing.

Great job by all! However, I guess that I was a bit surprised to see everyone so YOUNG in this group. I'm guessing that the members either found the Fountain of Youth, reincarnation happened, or we have a whole set of new members to the group...

[lifeisgood]

Would like to see them in BGT or AGT. They would definitely win tghe competition or come in the final top 5.

Dislike one of the best brass renditions of a song ever? How dare thee!

[niecomartinez]

The trumpet player is Andy from the office. Tell me I’m wrong

If you can play it slowly you can play it quickly

[andrealetiziapazgomez]

Their instruments shine brighter than my future

[.jbxxza]

the trumpets look like they have the instrument on there face and they just pressing random values

[ケンドール-pu]

if you play it slowly, you can play it quickly

[clairemarie]

They all look like slightly weirder versions of Keith from the Try Guys.

[smersmer]

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what child prodigies look like when they grow up and don't lose their powers.

lol, all i was thinking was "wow the trombone has a really easy part" and then i got to 1:09 and i was like never mind

[monte]

Although I'm a trombonist I have to say, I am strongly rooting for the curly haired trumpet player. Damn

[clover-iltf]

**valve gets stuck halfway through**

it was at this moment he knew, he had ducked up.
