The cornetto playing is mindblowing. The tone is clear and nearly brass-like but still soft. Intonation is spot-on which is unheard of for this kind of tricky instrument. And the high notes are so high, I had no idea it could go that high.
You are right, lovely playing! Infact it’s more like an oboe than brass…the sound is not made by a vibrating lip but by the thin skin layer covering the lip 😀 Pure intonations are EXTREMELY easy to produce on this instrument, I have one and though not player, can produce nicely tuned high pitched notes easily. Personally I have more trouble with the three lowest notes when I have to start with them (though no problem joining them from higher notes..). Cheers
What exquisite playing. A robust, exhuberant, colourful sound full of warmth and personality. sometimes outrageously cheeky, other times plaintive , melancholic. Beautifully balanced by the sombre tones of the keyboard.
Fantastic performance, very beautiful. “And in the event of an extended cornetto solo, a supplemental oxygen mask will fall from the compartment above you."
Nennt man Instrument „Zink“ und wird mit einem kesselmundstück angeblasen? Sensationell die Intonation und Klarheit in der Tongebung! Phrasierung: Beifall! So muss diese Musik klingen. Danke. Dsnke
Im curious, is the cornetto more or less agile than similar brass instruments of today like the trumpet or cornet? Am I correct in assuming that it is more agile because it primarily relies on fingerholes to produce pitch rather than lip tension? Im thinking since the instrument is so short, the partials in the soprano register must be too far apart to play with lip tension alone like you do with the horn, so fingerings would do most of the work, making the instrument more agile? I ask as a former trumpet player and now composer, both because some of the ornamentations sound absolutely insane and very captivating from a compositional standpoint Like some of the things this instrument does seems completely impossible like with this: th-cam.com/video/CCP07iEUQo8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ICavalieridelCornetto
Egregio Maestro Balestracci .... troppo "understatement" ... chi se ne intende un po della musica antica vi conosce da decenni ..... comunque per questo repertorio io suggerisco anche molto Bruce Dickey , Jean Tubery oppure Les Cornets Noirs !!!
as a woodwind player. this video gives me hope to play an instrument with a tone as noble as the baroque trumpet, without having to learn how to play an instrument with only three buttons.
a true baroque trumpet does not have any buttons at all. That said, some have finger holes, some have a slide and the commonly used piccolo trumpets used for Baroque music have four buttons. As a brass player, having more than 4 "buttons" will be a challenge (I used to have 5 on my CC tuba 20 years ago), but my New Years resolution is to learn how to play Ophicleide (9 keys) and Cornetto (7 finger holes).

It's a cornetto, it is played like a brass instrument but it has fingerings similar to recorder fingerings. The mouthpiece is very different but if you had to compare it to a modern mouthpiece it would be more like a horn mp
Ce cornet à bouquin (?) sonne bien ! Apparemment ça demande du souffle ;-) Mais elle joue fort bien, avec des espèces de "tremolos lents" que je n'avais jamais entendu
Hello! I am the cornetto player, and I just let Da Camera know about the omission. They did a lovely job supporting many artists during covid closures. During some challenging times I think they just overlooked that detail!

j'ai aujourd''hui 77 ans et cette musique ressemble tellement à ma vie !!!!!!!
There are no performer names for this excellent performance. They are:
Alex Opsahl, cornetto
Ian Pritchard, organ
Yes, it seems ridiculous to name the producer and not the performers. Does this tell us something about the presenting organization? Hmmmm?
@@fiauto there are named in bold characters in the title !
What can I add to these comments? Just my great bow to musicians. It's simply beautiful and gracious.

I don’t think it sounds anything like a brass instrument all the more for the fact it is not made of non ferrous metal or indeed from any metal.
Musica bellissima ed esecuzione strabiliante, complimenti ad entrambi.
I didn't realize the cornetto could sound like this. It's beautiful.
What exquisite playing. A robust, exhuberant, colourful sound full of warmth and personality. sometimes outrageously cheeky, other times plaintive , melancholic. Beautifully balanced by the sombre tones of the keyboard.
Fantastic performance, very beautiful. “And in the event of an extended cornetto solo, a supplemental oxygen mask will fall from the compartment above you."
Éblouissante beauté sonore!!qu'elle richesse. De sons dans le cornetto!
The best realization of this challenging piece that I have heard. Bravo!!!! I'm sure Castello would be proud.
Sniff... C'est vraiment Magnifique. Merci.
Félicitations aux deux interprètes de cette superbe composition.
Very enchanting tonalities.
most beautiful!
Amazing - unbelievable control and tone. Thank you!
Astoundingly wonderful playing, with inventive interpretation. So grateful to have found this!
Love the sound of the cornette well played, and I certainly heard it here. Thank you so much, the two of you, for such beautiful music.
Thank you for your kind comment!

Veramente molto brava! - Un vecchio recorder player

Playing recorder, cornetto and trumpet, believe me that the cornet is the one that requires most practicing

Please list the performers in the subject heading. Thank you.
no credits!
who are the players?
Can you believe they didn’t do as much as to MENTION the musicians in the credits??????????????!!!!!!
I enjoyed this immensely! Is that a trumpet type mouthpiece on the wind instrument?
It's a cornetto, it is played like a brass instrument but it has fingerings similar to recorder fingerings. The mouthpiece is very different but if you had to compare it to a modern mouthpiece it would be more like a horn mp
yes, indeed, but much smaller

what is the pitch that this performance is at?
A 466 Hz.
@@KlausMiehling Wow, that's fairly high.
@@KlausMiehling Yes, thanks.
I will change the dislike to a pile when the performers are credited :)
