  • The carillon is played by a silent and masked "spirit of the bells" that appears only to breathe life into the instrument for the performance. The "spirit" and creator of Cast in Bronze, Frank Della Penna, began his studies in Valley Forge, PA, and is a graduate of the French Carillon School in Tourcoing, France.

    ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE.We have even heard him play at Disney World in Orlando Florida back in the 1980's! We just love Mr. Della Penna. We see him and his other partner at Scarborough Faire in Waxahachie, TX EVERY APRIL TO MEMORIAL DAY!

    That is incredible, and his talent has no equal! I would dearly love to play with him! I am a Native American flute artist and I think the wood flutes playing with him and his incredible instrument would be absolutely incredible. I think it would sound like heaven! I think I will get a hold of a CD of his and see if I could play along.

    The reason for the mask is carillons are usually heard from bell towers and no one ever sees the performer.

    I am sure his performances are different, but the song I really enjoyed was the one right after this [would you happen to know which one I am talking about]. Like I said in an earlier post, the background music, the mask and his movements, really made the song I am talking about eerie and awesome.

    The judges didn't have the intellect to see that this is an outstanding, trained musician. What he does is amazing, beautiful, and the mask keeps with the theme of the unknown musician playing the carrillion. The judges showed themselves to be a bunch of uneducated jerks. The comments really didn't need to be so cruel if this talent was beyond their comprehension!!

    I agree! Back in 15th Europe, these Carillon players were usually unable to be seen as they played them while hiding themselves. His suit is a symbol and homage to that. I'm not a fan of the mainstream stuff that they praise on that show. I mean, how many singers who play instruments have we seen? They praise them, then comes along a master of an instrument that almost no one has heard of, and they all give him the red x. If people want unique and different, I say give him a chance!

    Eh, its ok. The synths get kinda lame like having a stratovarious jam out with a cheap pawn store bass. Get some pipe organs up in there and some timpanis and that would be a real jam session.

  • @FreetheTongue
    @FreetheTongue 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think this has great potential, but I think it should be played alone perhaps without a backing track track. Either it's the over tones of some of the bells making them sound out of tune against the track or they just are out of tune because not all the bells sound this way. Just some of them. It would be less noticeable without the track...or just need a retune.

    maybe they gave him an X because the instrument has so high voice coming from it when its performed loud, so ppl couldnt hear it well rather than getting annoyed by it.
    But this is really a so great instrument to hear to and this guy knows how to play !
    keep rocking Frank

  • @katrind1
    @katrind1 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I thought it was a great talent & all the X's on AGT were in appropriate. Maybe 'Carol of the Bells' was a poor song choice, since it is a Christmas song.

  • @notsuretwo

    The judges on AMT sucked all the intelligence out of the room Tues. night. Bronze bells are the essence of tonality. Bronze is used in the bells and piano strings and guitar strings and other musical instruments. The fact that he could play this Carillon was amazing.

    The music is great but loose the mask as the "Kiss" look takes away from the instrument, making the performance comical!
    The bells deserve better than a "side show Bob" look.
