Je crois que le public ayant assisté à un concert du PJBE s'en souviendra toujours. Dommage que cette archive ne dure que 48 minutes. Merci Richard pour ce superbe moment
Really beautiful music! I often listen to the albums 'Le tuba enchantée' and 'The best of Fletch' from the in my opinion ever best tubaist of the world!! 'In modo religioso op.38' from A.Glazunov on their LP 'Romantic Brass' is one of my favourites.
I once heard an interview with PJ. He said "if I stop pushing it" (brass) it will slip back. He was right. For whatever reason the PJBE format has never been replicated. No one else has picked up the the brass ensemble" flag" and run with it. The ensemble went through many changes of personnel but the sound and dtandard of performance was constant. I used to have all the PJBE ARGO recordings. Thank you for posting. Brings back happy memories also.
AdenosinePush - The Praetorius was included on their Focus on PJBE album. As I write there are a couple of 'biddables' for this album on eBay UK and one 'buy it now' for £5.
SUPER BRASS* WAS LOOKING TO SEE THEM IN TURKEY AND THEY CAME* WE HAD REALLY SUPER HOURS ALL TOGETHER AND THEY WERE GREAT ON CONCERT* WE WERE ALL IN ISTANBUL***
God I need to get this vinyl. Anyone know what album they cut the Praetorius on? There's something unique about English brass ensembles that I can't quite articulate. Doesn't really make much sense to compare them to the German Brass though, completely different sound and school of playing especially when you factor in the rotary horns....both groups are immaculate!

German Brass are a superb group. However, other than the excellent Superbrass, brass ensembles in the UK don't seem to be as prominent as PJBE - in the way of recordings, anyway. London Brass's last 'solo' (i.e. not performing with choirs or other ensembles) CD was 'Surprise', several years ago. Is there still an audience for brass ensembles these days in the UK? German Brass did a mini UK tour a few years back - to half full halls. If they can't sell out here, who can?

Fletch popping the low register on the Eb! What a great player!
Bellissimo video e i Philip Jones restano sempre i migliori.
Grazie.
It´s my favourite brass ensemble. The four dances from Michael Prätorius are wonderful!

Just the best Brass sound ever.

Fantastic Ensamble!
I love their vocabulary and accent. it makes me lol!
Thanks for this Richard. No singing - no dancing. Brilliant.
orichalcum1 it is crazy the things that brass ensembles have had to do to become "entertaining" these days.
funny thing is AKCEuph,
I find tasteful, musical, restrained and informed chamber playing “entertaining”...

awesome; my hero's.... many thanks for posting!
Damn. Who stole my left ear? Give it back! Now!

Richard - thanks. Is this "Music at St Georges" available on a DVD to buy?
The missing names are Graham Ashton (trumpet) and Simon ....?
Where can I buy a DVD of this fantastic ensemble?

I don't think they made any DVDs. They did make a lot of good audio recordings though... check out amazon or spotify...
70´s - 80´s?
There's so little signal on this video that you can't hear the ensemble at all. Whoever posted this, please correct if possible.
Does anyone know how/where I can buy a copy of this posted video or any other video of the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble? Thanks,
Steve
What year was recorded that...
What year was this?

Wich year was this and is it the St george's Church at Hanover Square London?
I believe the venue to be St Georges, Brandon Hill, Bristol.
Well, there's "German Brass". They sure picked up some flag ... :)
volume of music EXTREMELY LOW.
