Absolutely fantastic performance on a less than commonly known or soloed instrument. And the particular range of this piece is in the upper registers for the baritone, fairly challenging for even very experienced players. Conductor looks grand in what appears to be his Douglas kilt.

I too played brass from the time I was 8 until 18---trumpet, french horn, baritone horn (the american hybrid version) and euphonium, including multiple solos of shorter pieces and small quartet performances spread over that 10 years. Being one of four kids of a career musician and music teacher does that to you, but sometimes also makes one decide to put it down just when you are hitting your best abilities---in my case at age 18 as part of my teen to adult rebellion. I do miss it, though. Especially when I hear pieces like this.

Thank you very much for posting this, and reviving a nice string of memories.
