Lexington Brass Band - Carnival of Venice | Ashley Hall, Soloist 

God has truly blessed this young lady with incredible control and sound as a cornet player! The best I've ever heard! As a 60 year old female cornet player - I know what I'm talking about. Never stop playing - it's a gift to us all!

Wonderful playing, she makes it look so easy bravo.

There really are no words for how superb this is. Thank you.

After all the thousands of hours practice she still appears to really enjoy performing. Brilliant performance. The joy she shows is only a an infinitesimal amount of the joy we feel in hearing and seeing this rendition.

I was lucky enough to attend this performance last year..... Just an incredible performance from beginning to end..... of course Ashley was the highlight of the week!

The beautiful mellow sound of the cornet!! Well executed!! 👍 👍

Just superb. What musicality, what musicianship.

Very good cornet playing that well done . Years of practise there .

👍👏👏 more than 70 years ago I would play this cornet solo on my 78 rpm set of records of “Rusty in Orchestraville” (by “Tommy the Trumpet”)I loved it so very much then, then and it inspired me to be a life log cornet player and middle school band director. I still can’t play the Herbert Clark arrangement as. well as either Tommy the Trumpet or this talented and marvelously accomplished young lady. But I enjoyed listening to it at age six and now again at seventy-seven. And Bravo to the Lexington Brass Band. I am a member of the “Lake Wobegon Brass Band here in Minnesota. Nice performance, soloist and band ! 🎶😊🎺👏👏

This is what happens when you put thousands of hours in the practice room. There is no pill or quick solutions. Practice , with diligence and dedication and this is what you get. Bravo Ashley.

Very good ! In my opinion the best performance of Arban’s Carnival of Venice. Brilliant and musically at the same time.

Beautiful performance! Such a marvelous musician, thank you!

Brava, brava! So technically well done, and with style. A pleasure to watch and listen.

Absolutely fantastic playing madam I’ve been practicing this for years and years and know every note🎺🎶🎺could never play it as good as that Bravo 👏

played great. I have to acknowledge that myself as a trumpeter. I practiced at this Venice Carnival myself. But never played in concert. my great respect to the trumpeter.

What a beautiful rich sound!

What can you say, absolutely incredible you lady❤️. Love the Shepard’s Crook on the coronet🎺. At least a million hours of practice.....

Brings back memories of Newark High, Spring Band concert, 1953. Played 3rd chair coronet behind Dick Reynard soloist RIP Dick. You were the best 51,52,53.

Wonderful, very great, love it

Very impressive, like it very much!!

She's not even one bit short of absolutely awesome. Cheers!

what a beautyful ,warm and rich sound!!!! Bravoooo

Beautifully performed. Wonderful Embechre and rich tone.

What a wonderful performance. The tone is excellent and a very fast and clean tongue. She looks like it is totally effortless. Well done!

That player over the left shoulder of the conductor through the most of the piece looks like a model for an oil painting of Lord Byron. Wonderful music!

Welch ein Genuss für den alten Brasser einfach schön

Beautiful!

Fantastic playing bravo 🎺🎺👏👏

Absolutely superb performance from a phenomenal player. Beautiful mellow cornet tone and faultless technique. Left me breathless.

That was a very nice surprise......a very smooth performance. It’s quite a marathon; the double F skipped at the end was always my nemesis, too. 😊

Wow lady that was stunning,,beautiful liquid cornet tone and effortless technique sliding through the super difficult sections,,wish she had been a bit closer to a mic to really hear her virtuoso skills up close ,amazing !

Wonderful playing.

Outstanding. 👏👏

Grandios schön gespieltes Soli. Die Dame beherrscht ihr Instrument in Perfektion. Gratulation 👏

Woooow! ❤I'm speechless 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Excelente. Um encanto!!

I recently watched Mrs. Hall on a masterclass video. I am a complete infant with my trumpet and what Mrs. Hall has learned and since taught on breathing applicable to efficient practice has made a big impression on me. Very humbling to watch her play. I cannot wait to see what she has in store musically for the future. Genius!

Just beautiful.

Beautiful !!! Well played indeed

here here!

Very good. I like this music

Waaaaaoooooo.......espectacular

Esecuzione perfetta. Complimenti !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sparkling has a new meaning!!!

Before playing trumpet, I remember watchig this and thinking "that looks easy" well now 3 years later and I think I won't be able to play this for another 15 years at least

never heard it playing with such musicality and leway with the passages

Excel.lent trompetista. Un so noble. Molt acadèmica. Neteja amb el fraseig.

햐 정말 멋있다. 어렸을때 전국 콩쿨 나갔었는데 나는 그 대회에서 수상하지못했지만 조성진이 전체대상을 받았었다. 영상을 봤는데 . 초등학생들이 치는 흔한 곡이 아니라서 그런지 그당시엔 되게 신기한 곡을 친다고 생각했다. 더 신기한건 연주 도중 하늘을 올려다 보는게 너무 독특해서 영상을 몇번이고 돌려봤던 기억이있다. 어렸을때부터 감정이 풍부했던것 같다. 그 옆모습의 볼살 아직도 생생히 기억난다.

A wow!

Brava, bel suono , elegante, sempre delicate ottima esecutrice

Well done!

Fantastisch

Belissimo...docilidade sonora...impressionante.

What a beautiful sound - and rock solid technique! great performance!

Bravo!!

One of the best recordings I have heard. The only critique I have the vibrato is a little fast; but that’s still a matter of opinion. Great job!

Bravissima!

Ashley makes music when she plays. That's the difference!

Wow!!

无懈可击！

Excelente trompetista... Muy buena digitación

Nice!! !

Great control

Très belle interprétation et surtout au cornet a piston

Good old Arban sounds good forevermore

Makes me want to jump on my cornet. 🙂

УМНИЧКА!!!👍👍👍🙏🎺🎼

Technically and musically the best trumpet player I have heard. Not a screecher...but no doubt has the capacity.

Fenomenal! Mis más sinceras felicitaciones y mi gran respeto para esta mujer, formidable, excelente dijitacion, excelente en la doble articulación, la verdad que todo está en la práctica diaria, mucha dedicación para llegar a ser un buen músico en todos los sentidos, y la admiro mucho más por ser mujer.

PARABÉNS🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Beautifully executed in every respect. Can anyone tell me what the small brass item is which seems to be attached to the mouthpipe close to where the mouthpiece goes in?

Great job Ashley poo.

Bravo!!!!👏👏👏🎺🎺🎺🎼🎶🎵🎶

選抜野球で話題の習志野、大阪桐蔭、さらに選抜大会の柏、淀工などの演奏を見ていると、やはり湖東高校の「ど演歌エキスプレス」は何故かホッとします。皆卒業して変わらないのは先生だけのようですが、いい先生ですね。

Virtuoos gespeeld.

ЭТО ПИПЕЦ!!! КЛАСС!!!ОБАЛДЕТЬ!!!

IK KREEG GEEN GELUID

Did she win? She has improved a good bit since the last time I heard her perform.

Muito lindo o som do trompete

Nice.👍

やわらかくて　軽やかな素晴らしい音　本当にすばらしい

She did a good job on this variation

What's her name? She is so good and very inspiring!

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Er det ikke Henrik “Mumba” der sidder på 1. cornetten?

we were all watching the cornet guy in the back, right?

what mouthpiece does she use? and size. anyone who knows that mouthpiece brand, answer please

Magrada molt bé👏👏👏

The froth in my latte

Is chase in the trumpet section?

優雅

Muito bom.Ótima interpretação é de Franz Schmel (alemão) em harmonica de boca.

Quel son ! On dirait du violon...

Either the recording is very weak... or the volume of the soloist's sound is extremely low...

Those triple tongue sections, though. 😮

Oh to be that good. I can play the first 4 bars 😂

I love how she over emphasizes the main theme with every variation. That is the point after all.

Is she ever good wow trampet player ❤👌👍🎶🎶❤

Her face reminds me of AH

If you feel useless remember that there were other cornets here
