Napoli - H. Bellstedt From the concert-show "Musical Landscapes" Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Torodd Wigum Live in Grieghallen, Bergen, Norway Aug 10- 2006
No it's absolutely not. Also if you play fast it shows what sound you have. It can be fast and accurate but sound like crap. Furthermore, you can also express yourself and show musicality with fast (technique) pieces. Referring to this piece/video, you can bet that this guy plays every slow piece of music as wonderful, beautiful and expressive as hell.
Have heard Napoli so many times that l am bored to tears with it, but not this performance, l have listened to it numerous times in a row and have come back to it today.
I cannot think of ever hearing a better performance. I especially enjoy the cornet as the instrument selected for this performance. The sound of the cornet is full and round and yet brilliant also. This is a masterful performance. Bravo!
I saw Antonsen when he was a featured performer at the International Trumpet Guild conference in Baltimore more than 30 years ago. Very young, and a flawless performer in front of hundreds other trumpet players. Carnival of Venice among other difficult pieces.
Wonderful soloist and orchestral accompaniment! And a special "bravo" for the video director, whose judicious selections of shots, switching on the musical phrase boundaries, keeping musicians in view who were playing something of interest, framing the soloist up close so we could watch his fingerings, and always getting back to the soloist after going to the orchestra at the phrase endings!
It's not just the blistering pace and fingering. You have to work so, sooo hard to get chops this sensitive and flexible--reminds me of Maurice Andre playing Carnival of Venice lightly and at lightning speed.
Mike, I caught you in a master class at Univ. of Florida in early 70's. You are pretty incredible yourself! But I agree, Ole, is wonderful. So is Tine Ting Helseth, a fellow Norwegian. What is in the water up there? (I am also of Norwegian descent and play trumpet, but nothing like all of you).
One scary set of chops. Very impressive indeed. I truly like the way he doesn't change the tune to make it too "showy" and that the casual listener (non-player) would probably miss the greatness. But those in the know, with a trained ear can hear the magnificent arrangement that on the surface sounds so.....normal. Outstanding.
So good to hear this well known solo played on the cornet with an orchestra rather than a brass band. Well played excellent articulation. A joy to listen to.
Beautiful cornet technique and control ! He really knows where he is going and how to get there. To think that I had never heard of Mr. Antonsen! I will have to become more familiar with his playing. He is a true master of the instrument.
This piece was composed by a cornetist (Herman Bellstedt) and was played regularly by Del Staigers (listen to his version on youtube) I'm sure H. Belstedt played his composition regularly, however I don't think there are any recordings available to the public.I guess you could count on one pair of hands the number of soloists (living) who could play this beautiful piece as well as Ole Edvard Antonsen and Charles Delaware Staigers
A beautiful trumoet solo. Looks more like a cornet though. The sound is just stunning, and the articulation! WOW! You blew My mind! i can only dream of doing such good playing!
The amount of work it takes to make brilliance seem that effortless. Phenomenal.

Incredible tone, attacks, accuracy, dynamics, speed, consistency, and musicality. Really enjoyable to listen to.
true- but I think this is a demonstration of tecnic only (his accuracy is really impressive)

Love the Bb 4 nose scratch
Kurme82 So, cornnet is more suitable than trumpet for this tone.
Ｐｉｚｚａ ｔｉｍｅ
Maybe the fastest tongue on a trumpet I've ever heard. Crazy speed and fluidity
Probably the best performance I've ever heard of this solo . Fantastic !
I also like wynton doing it
TehFaiith how did I know someone would say that
Wynton is still the best. Perfection.
Yes ole edvard antonsen is the best for play this morceaux with Alexis Demailly
I loved it too
Have heard Napoli so many times that l am bored to tears with it, but not this performance, l have listened to it numerous times in a row and have come back to it today.
Ja,Ole Edvard…dette er jo i den internationale toppklass!! Hilsen Brynjar

I'm a Mendez and Nakariakov fan, because I like technical ability. Now I'm an Edvard fan as well. Great tone, as well as everything else.
Sei unico Sei grande Sei Tutto COMPLIMENTI
I saw Antonsen when he was a featured performer at the International Trumpet Guild conference in Baltimore more than 30 years ago. Very young, and a flawless performer in front of hundreds other trumpet players. Carnival of Venice among other difficult pieces.
suono, tecnica, articolazione, staccato,tutto, performance incredibile, bravo!
Wonderful player and wonderful to see him playing a cornet. This tune is well suited to the darker timbre of cornet.
An excellent showman, too.
I just scrolled down the comments on this performance and did not see even one "thumbs down." This man is in total command of the trumpet!
It’s a cornet.
I never get tired of hearing this piece Napoli played! Fantastic!!!
No words can give that performance the credit it deserves. Unbelievable! 😲
Bravoooop
Csodaszép trombita játék...
Köszönöm szèpen!!!❤❤❤😊😊😊
Разве это труба? Больше на корнет похоже!
Гениально! Уникальный трубач по всем параметрам, звука и непревзойденной техники!!! Брависсимо!!!

A very good point indeed Glen !
Pizza Time
Yes, it was well-cut (or well-switched).
Totally agree
Was für eine unglaubliche Interpretation! Wirklich herausragend!
貴女は最高のミュージシャンです👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗
貴女のファンが日本に居ますよ！！ここに！
モンキー・柳は貴女の大ファンです😊
素晴らしい演奏をいつまでも👍😊
Mr. Ole Edvard Antonsen is supernatural. Greetings from Brazil.
It's not just the blistering pace and fingering. You have to work so, sooo hard to get chops this sensitive and flexible--reminds me of Maurice Andre playing Carnival of Venice lightly and at lightning speed.
Someone give this man a medal! Damn!!!!
Having lunch with Ole today in Oslo. I'm looking forward to meeting this wonderful musician!
Mike, I caught you in a master class at Univ. of Florida in early 70's. You are pretty incredible yourself! But I agree, Ole, is wonderful. So is Tine Ting Helseth, a fellow Norwegian. What is in the water up there? (I am also of Norwegian descent and play trumpet, but nothing like all of you).
I am SO glad he picked that cornet for this piece. It was PERFECT! The old Rome feeling it exudes is amazing. Great performance!
One scary set of chops. Very impressive indeed. I truly like the way he doesn't change the tune to make it too "showy" and that the casual listener (non-player) would probably miss the greatness.

Так в мене нема слуху ,але в мене є інше ,і ви не гірші ,від нього
I feel like it’s pretty obvious every time the trumpet does something ridiculously insane, that it is ridiculously insane, even to untrained people
Super!!!!! Bravissimo!!!!!
Wonderful player!!!!!
Just fantastic!!!!!
Brilliant!!! I without knowing what to write! ! ! The most many thanks! ! !
Incredible to say the least. Ole had to have been born with a trumpet in his hands. Just perfection.......
So good to hear this well known solo played on the cornet with an orchestra rather than a brass band. Well played excellent articulation. A joy to listen to.
That was simply awesome!
Brilliant playing in every way.
I keep coming back to this!
ABSOLUTE LEGEND! No question of it.
MAGNIFICENT OLE!
Beautiful cornet technique and control ! He really knows where he is going and how to get there. To think that I had never heard of Mr. Antonsen! I will have to become more familiar with his playing. He is a true master of the instrument.
Nothing less than stupendous!
Very very impressive !!
I love the technical mastery and musicality.
Bravo !! A thousand times !!
Awesome -flawless. Orchestra & cornet complimenting each other beautifully.
I could have practised 23 hours a day and never would have been as good as this
I can just say incredible
Incredible playing, showmanship, articulation, control and everything in between
That's pure muscle on those lips,Fantastic playing Bravo.
Fantastic! He is so good even a string player in the orchestra would know it.
Just stumbled across this. Amazing virtuosity! And the whole performance was so fun to watch.
This video makes me want to cry at my own abilities
True, he makes it look so damn easy.
du jamais entendu dans ce morceau autant de brillance de légèreté et d élégance sans compter la virtuosité incroyable viva l artiste
Too many soloists sacrifice tone for technical show off. This guy has it all - tone and technique. sounds really well with orchestra.
Супер.браво
This performance is so satisfying to listen to. I enjoyed every minute of it! Such an amazing tone and technique.
No one played this tune as good as you I heard them all .you are number one
semplicemente mostro
Never get tired of him.
And, he performed this delightful bit on the Bflat Cornet, as was written for. Helluva job, my friend.
Just found you tonight. This has to be the best version of this piece I've ever heard!! Doesn't get any better than this folks.
Too bad you can only like a video once! Amazing performance, musically AND visually!
He got the chops

¡Absolutamente maravilloso y magistral! mi corazón pudo tocar la música, mis oídos la vieron y yo me visto con ella. ¡Bravísimooooo!
People probably dislike because they thought that he was a show off but I think that he deserves to be if he has gotten this far absolutely incredible
wonderful playing--I remember the times he came to Minneapolis for the Leiv Festival--good memories!
Wonderful playing and musical interpretation......I love it!
Великолепное звучание трубы! Необыкновенное мастерство солиста-трубача! Браво маэстро!
