The best rendition on KZread in my humble opinion. Good playing, they use the Swedish cornet which I'm pretty sure was the original solo instrument, and the tempos are near perfect. And for those who may growl it's too slow to be a march ... this is NOT a fast march. It's a very stately, dignified march - almost a processional, really - and the tempos used here capture that essence.

The Eb is indeed the original solo instrument. Quite well played here! But I have to disagree on the tempo. While the changes up and down are rather tasteful, often the base tempo on the engere first run is too slow.

I just watched this same orchestra with conductor Nils-Gunnar Burlin when they performed three years earlier. Both groups of teenagers did a great job. Kudos to Mr. Burlin

Outstanding job on the cornet solo! Terrific sound and overall musicianship of this group. I would have preferred the tempo be bit brighter, but, a superb job nonetheless! BRAVO!!!!

Why are y’all playing it so slow

No no no.. the start should be played by a clarinetist. Other than that, well played.

There are in fact alternatives. I prefer this version.

Mhm.. let's agree to disagree. I'm just saying it's a shame you don't put one of your excellent clarinetists to work ;-)

Pretty sure this is in fact the solo instrument in Hanssen's original score. The clarinet (Europe) and trumpet (USA) were substituted since Swedish cornets are not widely available outside of Scandinavia.

A clarinet? Instead of the instrument the part was written for? Why not an electric guitar, a kazoo, or bongo drums?

@@swedbander2709 I'd go with a flügelhorn, to be pretty honest. I think it's the best approximation the western world (including Jan Børre Amundsen) has to a Swedish cornet.
