One the greatest to ever play the horn. Totally natural talent. Very versatile. From what I understand he was a very humble and kind person. He will be missed, and his recordings on films like the James Bond series will live forever.
Ich danke Gott das ich sowas hören kann . Immer wenn ich dieses Lied höre muss ich an meine schon vorangegangenen Freunde denken Danke für diese wunderschöne Version .Schön das es euch gibt oder gegeben hat.
I once sold this lovely man a mouthpiece for his trumpet! Whilst working in John Ham Music Station , Swansea.........a fellow Welshman.... R.I.P. to a wonderful guy!
I think of the typical sound of a trumpet as being powerful, piercing, exciting. From Derek, and only from Derek, do I hear and experience pure beauty. There was no one like him.
Come on folks, there's no such thing as one player being better than another. Each has their own unique style and talent - it's just great for us that there are so many of them to listen to.....
Heard many renditions of this classic but his sound on Flugelhorn is unbeatable....iv went and heard the best over 35 years as a musician but Derek RIP had the best Flugel Tone....................Class..!!!!!!!!!
Best flugel tone? Everything above middle C sounds like a trumpet... Not to disrespect him in any way, he is by far my favorite lead player, but his flugel sounds is far from the best in my opinion
I can remember hearing this performed in 1997 at the NEC Arena in Birmingham. I was only 10 at the time. Amazing to see them live given that up to that point I’d only seen Derek perform MacArthur Park on the Berlin Concert video. I think a testament to how amazing it was is that I can still remember it in 2021. RIP Derek and Hansi.
Translation: I am moved no matter how many times I listen to it. I guess that's exactly what you call a masterpiece. A dynamic performance that seems to speak to you deeply by changing the instruments in the first half and the second half, and to live strongly and positively. It's wonderful together with the support that seems to wrap me gently at the end. I don't understand why it wasn't evaluated properly in Japan.
+Eliseo Fernandez . Eliseo . I' am a trumpettist and flugelhorn player. In the first part Derek plays Flügelhorn; second: Trumpet A Cornet is just like a Trumpet but a little bit shorter and less sharp sound, but look alike.
+Henny Nix A cornet and trumpet are quite different. A cornet has a conical design, where the bore gets wider the entire length of the tubing, whereas a trumpet has the same bore except for the final section. This is what makes its sound - as you correctly state - brighter or sharper than that of the cornet. And yes, the cornet is a little shorter in length, but not in the length of tubing.
Una Magistrale interpretazione ed esecuzione di un brano noto in tutto il mondo da parte di Derek Watkins, un vero"Big" della Tromba al quale vanno i miei complimenti Eccellente l'arrangiamento, raffinato ed elegante, che esprime, nella parte centrale del brano proposto, estro e creatività che, in ultima analisi, sono il "sale" della fantasia. Eccellente, come sempre, l'orchestra, ben diretta dal Gran Maestro ,James Last, un "Big" della musica come pochi. I miei complimenti. c.castellano,italia A masterly interpretation and performance of a song known all over the world by Derek Watkins, a true "Big" of the Trumpet to which my compliments go Excellent arrangement, refined and elegant, which expresses, in the central part of the proposed piece, creativity and creativity that, in the final analysis, are the "salt" of the imagination. Excellent, as always, the orchestra, well directed by the Grand Master, James Last, a "Big" of music as few. My compliments. c.castellano, Italy
As good and accomplished as Andre Rieu and his orchestra is.... he will never ever have the musicians of the caliber of James Last .. Andre is James Last Lite!
מאחלת לכולם חיים יצירתיים ומלאי כל טוב ...כל הדרך במה שאתם עושים הכי טוב בהנאה וצחוק שלא נפסקו....כייף להיות שתוטניקיים וגם להרוויח זוזים בלי מאמץ ...ניצחתם בבחירת מישלח ייד ה תעסוקה...
Questo grande musicista.....trasmette un'emozione che pochi sanno fare......il suo è un talento di grande artista...il suono della sua tromba ti entra nell'animo........
Quite impossible to write a comment with the right words for an amazing performance and arrangement like that.
R.I.P Derek
No doubt. This guy was beyond amazing.
One the greatest to ever play the horn.

He's playing flugelhorn. Completely different sound from a trumpet
Huh? He plays both. No eyes?
OFF THE CHARTS. WOW. What talent and what an arrangement.
This was played at one of my best best friend Funerals And it brings a lot of memories back😖😢
Sorry for your loss
Same as me
WOW... Derek's trumpet put tears in my eyes...
Still love this sound, born 1954 my dad was the one to teach to love music. Now with the Covid we need music even more👍🍀
Einer der Besten Trompeter Weltweit. R.I.P Derek
Come on folks, there's no such thing as one player being better than another. Each has their own unique style and talent - it's just great for us that there are so many of them to listen to.....
Spine tingling. What an awesome performance from a genuinely great player and gentleman.

I can’t stand the vocal version of Sinatra. But this is fantastic!
Oh God how much I love and I miss him

Lovely and a great arrangement, superb.
What an amazing player and one of the nicest people I have ever met. A sad loss to the world
André belle musique merci beaucoup pour mes 83ans
Merci pour la musique
Merci pour la musique
Everything he played so beautiful to listen to,the sound so always smooth his was the golden touch . T. Heslop.
Varázslatta átszőtt, csodálatosan szép muzsika! Csodálatos videó,köszönöm szépen!
Er war mit Sicherheit einer der weltbesten Trompeter und nicht von ungefähr so lange bei James Last.
何度聴いても感動する。正に名演奏とはこう言うのを言うんでしょうね。前半と後半で楽器を替えてしみじみと語りかける様に、そして力強く前向きに生きるかの様なダイナミックな演奏。ラストの優しく包んでくれる様なサポートも相まって素晴らしい。何故日本で正しく評価されなかったのか理解できない。

I believe Derek Watkins played on every James Bond film until he passed away... every one!!!! Not many who could play like him🎼🎶🎵🎺
I would have loved to hear Derek and Doc Severnson play together. Can you imagine the sound you would hear? WOW!
One of the best trumpet players in the world too bad, he already passed.R.I.P. Derek Watkins
Super. Moc pěkný. Komentáři pana Kubeši se musí člověk jen pousmát.
Still very sadly missed. Rest in peace Derek.
Сколько не смотрю это видео, и каждый раз поражаюсь мастерством Дерека. Супер ))))) Красавец ))))

Beautifully played,thks
Derek. One of UK's best ever trumpet players. Great days with BBC Big Band.
Not just the UK my friend, one of the world's best! He was way, way up the trumpet ladder.
I say at the very top
Thank you for sharing! 谢谢您的分享！
최고의 트럼펫. 연주자 입니다 현란하고 능숙한. 자유자재. 한마디로 악기를 자신의 분신으로 만들어버린. 달인 고인의 명복을. 삼가. 빕니다
한국 팬들도 많이 댓글에 참가하세요
Great rendition. Also, at 2:30 - ish, the violinist that smooths back her hair is worth the price of admission.
Great catch and call
Agree 100%. Plus, she is featured in some of the following closeups of the violins... Made me wonder if she can actually play - what a beauty!!
love the flugel on this , wish i could play like that .
WONDERFUL !!!!!
Watkins plays first Bugel (Flugelhorn) and in de second part:.. Trumpet.
What a great performance and excellent musician(s)... RIP.
Lo Oí bien y lo puedo comparar con Harry James , con el trompetista de PEREZ PRADO. , con LUIS ALCARÁZ y otros que de momento no recuerdo .
Flugelhorn is like a trumpet but slightly larger and has a more mellow sound?
Beautiful sound (sound)
Genial, maravilloso vídeo - Múltiples aplausos
great !!! amazing from ages
trumpet playing cannot get any better.
Brilliant !
.best trumpeter ever
i like the way the violins lead them out then in again.
Sinceramente Gracias Amigo por los Datos de nuestras Melodías y bueno para la Comunidad PERUANA
Great arrangement for the time!
you cant go wrong as a soloist with this song a variegated boulevard for improvisations on this sweet tune
懷念James Last 先生 ㄧ輩子為全世界音樂迷帶來豐沛的心靈快樂，他的輝煌偉業必將永留青史！
Amazing sound on both little horn and trumpet and ended on a perfectly tuned Double D
My way-bravo!
Such a complete trumpet player. I love his phrasing and intonation.
But its not a trumpet, its a flugelhorn. This instrument has a rounder and warmer sound than the trumpet
INDEED!!!!!
Grande, sublime!!!!!
Questo grande musicista.....trasmette un'emozione che pochi sanno fare......il suo è un talento di grande artista...il suono della sua tromba ti entra nell'animo........
