I am Japanese and every time I watch this film I cannot stop crying. Not only the lead actor but also the supporting actors play their humanity beautifully. Above all, I think it is a masterpiece that expresses respect for human dignity with wonderful music. I like British actors because they have weight and depth in their performances. I can't listen to the majestic Aranjuez Concerto without tearing up. Thank you very much
Steven Spielberg called Pete the best actor in the world. He was right. I saw him on stage doing a thing called The Seven Masks Of Scaramouche Jones. One man show. Utterly compelling. Best thing I've ever seen on a stage. No expectation of ever seeing it bettered. God bless Pete.
I once worked with a trombonist from Besses O’ The Barn in Whitefield near Manchester. He said to me if a good piece of music can’t make you cry, you have no soul. This makes me think I might have a soul. It’s stunning no matter how many times I hear it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I completely agree with you. I've shed tears every time I've heard this piece since I first watched the film "Brassed Off". I've had to pause the video clip to dry my eyes whilst I type this comment.
Well... if you know the story about Rodrigo creating this piece of art it is even more heartbreaking... his wife was hospitalised after giving birth a baby and both of them, mum and son were about to die... he based his composition in the heart beating of his son, and the whole piece is a conversation to God... he is the guitar and Hod is the whole orchestra. His son eventually died... and the last chords of the adagio is his son's soul going up to paradise...
I'm from a small miner town in the Argentinian Patagonia, the mine closed around '91 and most of the people left (my family included) I watched the movie and felt that it was our story, I was 14 years old, now I'm 45 and I can't watch this movie without crying.
My first job, 1977, was at a mine, a potash mine, in the north of England. To my last breath I will detest the evil witch Thatcher and her scum, and her modern day spawn. The Brassed off film explains why.
I'm the son of a miner who remembers all too well how difficult it was to see village after village, and town after town, decimated by the closure of Britain's pitts.
@@SuperCasey1972 and it wasn’t just the Mines . Tue local railways suffered due to reduction in traffic …. Less money 💴 in towns led to severe deprivation . Many uk locations still not recovered or will recover !
Brilliant movie equally superb music,I have watched this movie 🎥 many times and still think it's great it's my wife's favourite movie she came from a mining ⛏️ town Mansfield Notts.
@@michaeldavies9533 . I saw it years agi. Starting with a laugh. But soon it's gets so tragic. So much tears from me. That's why I could not watch it again. Heartbreaking. The cast is "gold". The music is fantastic.
Fabulous scene takes me instantly back to my childhood in Durham, where my dad would take us to the DLI museum to see the local bands compete. Collieries gone, Brass Bands gone, even DLI Museum gone and sadly my dad gone too. But this superbly acted and directed scene takes me right back there.
This is, without a doubt, one of the best movie scenes filmed. The musical piece and peter’s conducting were spot on. As a musician and singer, I am so proud of these musicians and the story they told of this painful time.
@@emmanuelventura7223 "Brassed Off" is the name of the movie. In Britain, the term "brassed off" means "fed up" or "tired of everything". This kind of band is known as a brass band.
Never been one for anything classical but this piece of music draws me back time and again. I just wish I knew who originally recorded this particular recording.
This film is pure gold. The balance between the lows and highs is superb. The music is spine tingling and Tara Fitzgerald puts the icing on the cake. If you've never seen it do yourself a favour and watch it. I guarantee you will be moved.....
My husband, a fifth generation Welsh coal miner breaks down when seeing this and he always thought that Miles Davies had the definitive version. What a film and cast.
I totally empathize. And knowing that wonderful, unique, awesome Peter Postlethwaite is no longer with us stretches the emotion beyond bearing. Yet it's impossible not to keep coming back and watching, and sobbing, again! My late uncle in England played the cornet for the Salvation Army band. Oh the agony; Oh the joy. God bless you and your husband. Truly salt of the earth.
A cracking British film with a great story line and what can we possibly say about Pete Postelthwaite that hasn’t already been said ?. One of this Country’s finest ever actors.

I WENT TO SEE THIS FILM ON PICTURES AROUND 96/97 LOVED THE FILM, BUT I DIDNT PROPERLY APPRECIATE THE MUSIC UNTIL YEARS LATER, BUT BETTER LATE THAN NEVER EXCELLENT FILM AND MUSIC SIMPLY QUALITY THOMAS
This is the film that made me fall in love with Tara Fitzgerald. A vastly under rated film, led by characters who had a story to tell, moving performances that covered up a desperate time, a story perfectly told with incredible acting from the late Pere Postlethwaite & Stephen Tompkinson. This scene moves me to tears.
I was in a film with her when I was 10. I was in one scene with her and while waiting for filming to commence, she gave me this smile that i still remember to this day.
"Don't be soft, lass. You were born 'ere." Haven't lived in my home town, or anywhere near it, for 52 years, but that still sends a shiver down my spine.
His face as he realizes that he is in one of those special magic moments - only a musician knows exactly what that means. Privileged to have been in a handful of such. Never forget it ever. Pete KNOWS.
@@Krzyszczynski you do know that Concierto de Aranjuez is composed by Joaquin Rodrigo , a Spanish composer originally composed for classical guitar in 1939, is not English culture.
Coming from a former mining village, I was privileged to see & hear our local brass band made up of mostly miners. To this day we still have a thriving band although without any miners who were the salt of the earth.
please stop calling pieces of music like concertos and symphonies, songs. I know it's an appalling affectation. They are not songs are they? any more that the round green thing in your hand is a banana
This always brings a tear to my eyes of not just one industry but all the others that went with it. A film that showed the spirit and tradition that sadly went too. People will never understand who lived and worked for it. I love the sound of an echo that once roared.
The best version of 'orange juice ' ever. Pete Postlethwait will be sadly missed. To the gentleman who played this in reality, thank you for your beautiful playing.
I was not a miner , but lived in a town during the closures of the pits and saw my town DIE . Cannot watch without getting tearful , long may pit & brass bands continue to thrive and raise our spirits
I understand exactly what you're talking about, my father served his time down the pit then left, my grandfather died of cancer because of it my uncle worked down it for 45 years 40 of them without one of his legs(one cut off by a bogie miles underground took 8 hrs for emergency crews to get there) I asked him to get me a job there when I left school at 16. He said Steve I'll do you a favour and Not get you a job there. I'm glad he didn't now
@@steveduncan9256 I take my hat off to those Men who did that job for most of their lives. I am not from a Mining community but I share the pain and Heartache that those community`s went through, all because of a hateful Conservative Government. I saw The results of Thatcher`s handiwork here in my own city of Liverpool, she treated the Dockers with the same contempt as she did the Miners. Awful times, that I hope will never be repeated.
Gulp. My brother in law was a conductor for over 30 years. Trust me, he examined Pete Postlethwaite's conduct in this scene and he said any brass band would have followed on with ease, allowing confidence in tempo; his prep and nuances were absolutely spot-on, with the interpretation of score boldly matching his baton timing.
this film never got the credit it deserved a real classic. Pete was a fantastic actor and kept his northern roots and never forgot them. thank you Pete for the memories.RIP
It is said that Rodrigo composed the piece in memory of his son, who died aged three. You can hear the emotion here. The gorgeous Tara Fitzgerald learned enough to be able to mime convincingly in this clip. As for Pete Postlethwaite, it is hard to believe that he is not a real conductor here. A wonderful film, grat music, superb acting.
Actually No. I've got Rodrigo's Wife's Autobiography. The Inspiration behind this was a mix of the happy days of their Honeymoon and Rodrigo's inconsolable grief of Victoria's (His Wife) first Miscarriage.
Quite a few of the band are part of the Grimethorpe colliery band, whose Pit and its fight to avoid closure it's about. I have seen a video showing the Flugle horn player behind the scenes playing it
I echo all that's been said by all the posts, this piece of excellence always makes me cry too, This version by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band is my favourite. Great film Great music . Beautiful.
Un des plus beaux films (les Virtuoses) sur la période de crise en Angleterre sous Tatcher avec les mouvements sociaux dûs à la précarité grandissante. Seule la fanfare était un échappatoire pour ces mineurs de fond.. Dont le chef d orchestre atteint de silicose.. Film très émouvant et très belle interprétation du concerto d Aranjuez..
Pete has been one of the greatest actors to ever live. Unbelievable that he never got the full recognition he really deserved. He owned any movie and any scene he's ever been in. Much like Danie Day Lewis. I'm in complete awe of his acting abilities...........whenever I see him in a movie. Spectacular!!!
I come back to watch this whenever I am lost. It is simultaneously sorrowful and joyful and reminds me there is still tremendous beauty and kindness in the world. Pete Postlethwaite lives forever in these 5:38 seconds and I am so grateful.
Ah! Thats what the instrument is called. Listening to a Naxos recording with the Asturias Symphony Orchestra and came looking for a video that had it playing so I could see. Fantastic, could have seen some professional concert but loved watching this !
Played this at our friend Tammy's funeral service today. She joined Stacksteads Band in 1993 when she was 6 years old, I was 5 and joined at the same time. This was her favourite piece. It always gave me goosebumps but today it was almost impossible to get through, but we did it ❤️ RIP
Whoever came up with the idea of a colliery band playing Concierto d'Aranjuez in a film depicting the destruction of the mining industry in the 1980's [by a vengeful Margaret Thatcher] is an absolute genius.
Brassed off was based on the real story of the grimethorpe colliery band in Grimethorpe South Yorkshire, England. In the film, they are called the Grimley brass band. They lost their pit when the coal mine in grimethorpe closed in 1992 but the band are still going.
Thatcher saved England from the socialist policies of the 70s. Mining died then they just closed in the 80s. Liberals really are so pathetic they blame the right for all the problems they cause. God protect us from them
An absolutely superb film, with the great Grimethorpe Colliery Band providing the music. What a wonderful actor was Pete Postlethwaite, voted among his peers as 'the best actor in the world'
Every time I watch this..I " FEEL IT " and not only the Music but also the Story..and each and every time I cannot hold back my tears..but then again...why should I ?
Thank you all for " Thumbs up " ..I believe most of my neigbours all know this so very well, my speakers are Altec Lansing ..and trust me " Loud " is a poor word 😀
That brings back so many beautiful memories, mostly about the working people of the industrial regions of Britain and how we had real communities in those days with people you could rely on and trust...much more than 2023! It's heartbreaking for an old guy like me who was born in 51 and grew up in the working class slums of an industrial northern city, times when communities were exactly that, communities! What I see today is some other unrecognisable place! Thank God I learned my life's values from those times & communities. My heart bleeds for the kids of today!
What I see today is some other unrecognisable place = there was a paradigm shift. in those days with people you could rely on and trust = why were those people trusted? I lived in one of those north cities, because they were Christians, and has a Christian values, unlike today who believe in atheism. How to return? Change the paradigm, it really is that simple.
Yes I too was also born in 1951, I worked down Gedling pit in Nottingham and I new the meaning there of friendship, loyalty and community spirit. It very sad now to see this disaffected society we now live in. fortunately I moved from Nottingham to Ilkeston Derbyshire where there still is a great deal of community spirit and friendship. I also play the Flugelhorn In the local brass band so here its not so bad
@@Jago938 Nice area Derbyshire, a good move for sure. I spent most of my beautiful life in Australia but came back to Europe 6yrs ago after my only son died (had been divorced a long time). Didn't want to live there after that so retired to Portugal, couldn't live in UK although did think about it....for a very short time :) Life goes on eh :) hope you stay in good health. Cheers.
Played this at my Dads funeral last week. He was a horn player and member of Sale Brass Band. A most suitable moving piece. I chose The Floral Dance to end the ceremony on a high note. .
It is timely reminder to us all of what happens when a Government turns it’s back on the lifeblood of so many communities casting them onto the waste tip. Good jobs and a community spirit killed off and replaced by drugs and crime, sadly this drama is still playing out in so many former pit villages 35 years after the strike, it genuinely moves me to tears every time I watch it, it breaks my heart.
@@exiledcornishman and the people that voted Tory for Brexit need constant kicks up the backside to remind them that Tories care for themselves and are only interested in conserving their wealth and privilege.
@@adamcarreras-neal4697 what a load of rubbish,you need to get your facts right,harold Wilsonn closed down more pits than Margaret Thatcher, also many labour voters voted for brexit,
Well, it won 10 awards, most of them internationally, and was nominated for 7 more, including 3 BAFTA’s so I’m not sure it was *that* underrated. It certainly ranks in my top ten, and this piece in particular makes my hair stand on end.. although I rather love the Victoria Wood version as well
This is played with heart and soul ( music and actors) !!! Thank you, i saw this for the first time and my eyes closed or open it gives me goosebumps and tears !!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊 L.M.
I watched this film while I was in a hotel in one of my countless business travels. The music was very beautiful, and actors performance stabbed my heart. In the middle of the night, I cried for those minors and their families.
I love the part where Pete comes into his own. I admire and respect him for his work alone. What a talented man Pete was and highly respected too. RIP Pete and thank you so much for your talent.❤
Mind you , Aranjuez is my home town , so I can tell about it . Mr. Rodrigo was born in Sagunto , Valencia , when he died was buried in Aranjuez . He made Aranjuez famous worldwide with that tune .
my grandfather was your countryman. An exile from Catalonia, he played a very old vinyl copy of this to me when I was a very young boy, 6 or 7 at most. It is and will always be my favourite classical piece. It made him remember home and what he'd left behind, I just wish my guitar playing was good enough to play this. He used to call my grandma he little Fey, Fairy for the English speakers, and we named my daughter Fey and yes spelt the Spanish way to honour both as they had both passed away.
The story behind the Aranjuez Concert: the blind Spanish composer - Joaquin Rodrigo - was inspired during his honeymoon in the gardens of the city of Aranjuez. The work was composed in Paris where the author took refuge during the Spanish civil war. Upon returning to Spain, the manuscript written in Braille was brought. The concert of Aranjuez continues being the classic Spanish work that more royalties reports every year. Loaded with enormous sensitivity and passion, both its original version for guitar and Orchestra and this one for brass are fabulous.
Thank you for sharing this story with us. I am learning this piece on electric guitar now. It's the only piece of music I have found in ten years that I really need to know how to play!
In Miles Davis version (amazing and my favorite) there is the moment (3/4 in) were the musician owns the piece and takes it back to his place, more modern Jazz .
Concierto d'Aranjuez was written for guitar, but the flugelhorn was a good instrument to use because it sounds so beautifully melancholy. The composer Joaquin Rodrigo, who was born in Sagunto north of Valencia on the Mediterranean coast, was blind from age 3 when he contracted diphtheria. His family moved to Valencia so he could attend the blind school there. It was in Valencia where he married his wife Victoria Kamhi, a Turkish-born pianist.
@@waltzsofa1602 YMMV indeed. For me, this version sounds like a parody arranged by someone that believes that a Spaniard composer should sound like a mariachi band. But if you like it, feel free to like it. Taste in music is subjective, and you shouldn't allow anyone to tell you that your tastes are objectively wrong.
Низкий поклон за такую блестящую работу всей съëмочной группе. Особая благодарность Стивену Томпкинсону за то что мастерски создал на экране такой драматический образ, удивительный актëр. И конечно мощный брутальный Питер Уильям Постлетуэйт! Артист милостью Божией! 13 января 2024 года по общероссийскому федеральному телеканалу "Общественное телевидение России" (ОТР) был показан этот прекрасный фильм "Brassed Off" "Под звуки меди" ("Дело - труба"). Счастлив, что этот шедевр не прошëл мимо меня. Одно из немногих ярких впечатлений за последнее время! Спасибо!
1.53s and 2.00 make this scene for me. The 2 men speechless and blown away by her level of perfection. Hatred to respect in a few easy seconds. Fantastic film and acting.
Rodrigo and his wife lost a child and he succumbed to the sadness and went to Aranjuez to cry his lost and it was there when sadness and pain push him to make this master piece
Although these events took place nearly 40 years ago they still stir feelings of sadness,and quiet rage.Barnsley born and bred,we were all affected. Concerto d’ Aranzuez perfectly depicts the poignancy of that time.What a masterpiece.
@@terrymurphy66 Yep. I am sure it was all political spitefullness. It is not beyond the wit of man and science to filter out the nasties when burning coal. The Uk is sitting on 2 - 3 hundred years supply of the stuff, and it would surprize me, Not, if at some time in the future, Modern methods of extraction, will see it being brought to the surface, again.
A trio of these type of movies were released in a short period. The Full Monty and Billy Elliot were big hits - but I think this is the best of the three.
Absolutely, by far it's the best. I can't think of many films that pack such an emotional punch, and the stellar cast give some lifetime best performances. And then the music! If you don't shed a tear during the Danny Boy scene, there's no hope for you. I get why The Full Monty was the biggest hit as it's funnier & an easier watch, but I thought Billy Elliot was way overrated.
Easily the best of the three. Brassed Off and the Full Monty was the subject of a case study in a film course I did, where Miramax timidly opened Brassed Off on a few screens with minimal advertising. 20th Century Fox threw caution to the winds, opened The Full Monty on a couple of thousand screens with tens of millions in publicity. Brassed Off earned $2.5 million. Monty earned 100 x its cost, $258 million. Both were Channel 4 films. Miramax for their parsimony lost out big time.
I watched this film with my (then) 88 year old retired scientist grandfather a while ago (I was a little nervous as he is quite a gentle man, and there is a fair bit of 'effing and jeffing'): I have never seen him so enthralled by anything on screen before (he doesn't watch much TV). He thought it was a really excellent and entertaining piece of social commentary - I doubt he would have said the same of The Full Monty!
My Swiss girlfriend just watched this movie and I’d forgotten how superb Pete was. Just the looks to Andy at the start of this clip. And the joy at hearing the “orangejuice” concerto played so brilliantly.
RIP the late, great Pete Postlethwaite! I watched the series, spellbound, on it's release on UK tv. I'd heard 'Orangejuice' on the guitar, many times, as Rodrigo had intended, but the frugle was a superb touch by the scriptwriters, in keeping with the brass band theme. It's one of those pieces that always reduces me to tears, regardless. Thanks for posting!
I cry my eyes every time I watch and listen to this. A perfect film.

I am french. I love this song and movie. Thank uk. Welcome visit france.
please stop calling pieces of music like concertos and symphonies, songs. I know it's an appalling affectation. They are not songs are they? any more that the round green thing in your hand is a banana
2023 and this scene still makes me well up 😢
Love ❤️ this film
This always brings a tear to my eyes of not just one industry but all the others that went with it. A film that showed the spirit and tradition that sadly went too. People will never understand who lived and worked for it. I love the sound of an echo that once roared.
Aye, who's voting for a moneyed nonentity who can't string a sentence together ? That's what i want to know,754.
The best version of 'orange juice ' ever. Pete Postlethwait will be sadly missed. To the gentleman who played this in reality, thank you for your beautiful playing.
Listen to Narciso Yepes an then you answer me. Regards.
@@Cortadillo Ya missing the crack, young man. She's NOT being literal, it's just English humour/irony.
Stan Westh played this
Paul Hughes played the flugelhorn solo in this scene.
To the best of my knowledge I’m sure the band is Grimethorpe colliery
One of the best films ever about British social history
Couldn't agree more.

I was not a miner , but lived in a town during the closures of the pits and saw my town DIE . Cannot watch without getting tearful , long may pit & brass bands continue to thrive and raise our spirits
I understand exactly what you're talking about, my father served his time down the pit then left, my grandfather died of cancer because of it my uncle worked down it for 45 years 40 of them without one of his legs(one cut off by a bogie miles underground took 8 hrs for emergency crews to get there) I asked him to get me a job there when I left school at 16. He said Steve I'll do you a favour and Not get you a job there. I'm glad he didn't now
@@steveduncan9256 I take my hat off to those Men who did that job for most of their lives. I am not from a Mining community but I share the pain and Heartache that those community`s went through, all because of a hateful Conservative Government. I saw The results of Thatcher`s handiwork here in my own city of Liverpool, she treated the Dockers with the same contempt as she did the Miners. Awful times, that I hope will never be repeated.

@@stephensmith4480 People only remember Thatcher but Wilson started the closures Both my grandfathers were coal miners.
@@toothpick4649 Wilson came onto The Radar of MI5 because of some of their "Concerns " regarding him.
Gulp.
My brother in law was a conductor for over 30 years. Trust me, he examined Pete Postlethwaite's conduct in this scene and he said any brass band would have followed on with ease, allowing confidence in tempo; his prep and nuances were absolutely spot-on, with the interpretation of score boldly matching his baton timing.
this film never got the credit it deserved a real classic. Pete was a fantastic actor and kept his northern roots and never forgot them. thank you Pete for the memories.RIP

It is said that Rodrigo composed the piece in memory of his son, who died aged three. You can hear the emotion here. The gorgeous Tara Fitzgerald learned enough to be able to mime convincingly in this clip. As for Pete Postlethwaite, it is hard to believe that he is not a real conductor here. A wonderful film, grat music, superb acting.
Actually No. I've got Rodrigo's Wife's Autobiography. The Inspiration behind this was a mix of the happy days of their Honeymoon and Rodrigo's inconsolable grief of Victoria's (His Wife) first Miscarriage.
Quite a few of the band are part of the Grimethorpe colliery band, whose Pit and its fight to avoid closure it's about. I have seen a video showing the Flugle horn player behind the scenes playing it
She had the correct fingerings down pat. That took some work to learn. Plus the breath phrasings as well.
I loved this the first million times I viewed it; so why do I keep coming back?
Wotever, but here's another 'Like' ...
One of my top five films ... I've lost count of how many times I've seen it, but it never gets old.
And, damn, it still makes me cry.
Just rewatched it for the umpteenth time. A classic
does the same to me everytime
I echo all that's been said by all the posts, this piece of excellence always makes me cry too, This version by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band is my favourite. Great film Great music . Beautiful.
This piece of music affects me every time. Absolutely beautiful!!
Indeed
I will never tire of watching, nor hearing, this. It's a masterpiece of both music and cinema.
Un des plus beaux films (les Virtuoses) sur la période de crise en Angleterre sous Tatcher avec les mouvements sociaux dûs à la précarité grandissante. Seule la fanfare était un échappatoire pour ces mineurs de fond.. Dont le chef d orchestre atteint de silicose.. Film très émouvant et très belle interprétation du concerto d Aranjuez..
Pete has been one of the greatest actors to ever live. Unbelievable that he never got the full recognition he really deserved. He owned any movie and any scene he's ever been in. Much like Danie Day Lewis. I'm in complete awe of his acting abilities...........whenever I see him in a movie. Spectacular!!!
Dustin Hoffman said he's the greatest actor he's ever seen. Recognition enough in my book
Steven Spielberg also said he was the best actor he worked with, Peter's answer that was it's nice but is only one man's opinion.
completely True. I think if he had been from the US, and had a bit more exposure, he would of been huge.
Try Postlethwaite and Day-Lewis together in "In The Name Of The Father".
@@annalieff-saxby568 yeah, that's an acting powerhouse there. Day Lewis is arguably the best actor the late 20th century.
No matter who plays or what instruments it gets me in tears everytime 💯 in a good way that's the power of music 💯
British Cinema at its finest. No CGI etc just well crafted cinematography ... Goosebumps every time.
Agree
Spine chilling movie.
So much emotion in this film.. one of the best music scenes ever, never heard this tune covered so well. Once heard can never be unheard...
I come back to watch this whenever I am lost. It is simultaneously sorrowful and joyful and reminds me there is still tremendous beauty and kindness in the world. Pete Postlethwaite lives forever in these 5:38 seconds and I am so grateful.
As an ex brass band player the Flugelhorn player was superb, but Pete Postlethwaite as conductor was professionally suberb. What an actor...RIP Pete.
Ah! Thats what the instrument is called. Listening to a Naxos recording with the Asturias Symphony Orchestra and came looking for a video that had it playing so I could see. Fantastic, could have seen some professional concert but loved watching this !
Yes, Pete, gave great performances in this GREAT movie, hands down. But who played the fluefel in this scene. Beautiful. Who was it?

Played this at our friend Tammy's funeral service today. She joined Stacksteads Band in 1993 when she was 6 years old, I was 5 and joined at the same time. This was her favourite piece. It always gave me goosebumps but today it was almost impossible to get through, but we did it ❤️ RIP
So sorry for your loss. May this music help your heart heal
He was such a believable villain in "Sharpe's Rifles"..
Terrific actor, gone much too soon .
RIP Sir and thank you.
This is by far the best version I have ever heard. It's wonderful.
Chet Baker look into it
@@the1truth420 That was unexpected. It IS definitely on my list. Will have to play a few times to make a decision. Thank you.
@@cavok76 enjoy
have you heard any other version?
@@enieniz Not with a Flugel horn, no. Seen other captures and other instruments.
I can't help tearing up when I hear/see this - so moving.
This movie was panned by the critics at the time, but I think it is great... any movie that has Pete Postlethwaite in it is a winner.
RIP Pete
Just read this I bet it was panne by pro tory thatcher critics .
Aye, who do "critics" work for, pyrofella ? It's even worse now.
Critics know nowt.
@@jackcole3146 Who do media critics work for ? think on, Jack lad.
It wasn’t panned by all - there was a lot of praise for it for Postlethwaite’s performance. But Tompkinson is the best in this.
Pete was an incredible actor. May he rest in peace.
The sound track musical genius the film is spectacular
Whoever came up with the idea of a colliery band playing Concierto d'Aranjuez in a film depicting the destruction of the mining industry in the 1980's [by a vengeful Margaret Thatcher] is an absolute genius.
spot on
Few do it like UK.
…and a vicious, destructive arsehole like Scargill who was prepared to sacrifice British society to achieve his (not his member’s) goals.
Brassed off was based on the real story of the grimethorpe colliery band in Grimethorpe South Yorkshire, England. In the film, they are called the Grimley brass band. They lost their pit when the coal mine in grimethorpe closed in 1992 but the band are still going.
Thatcher saved England from the socialist policies of the 70s. Mining died then they just closed in the 80s. Liberals really are so pathetic they blame the right for all the problems they cause. God protect us from them
Brings a tear to my eye every time, and not only because I miss Pete Postlethwaite
An absolutely superb film, with the great Grimethorpe Colliery Band providing the music. What a wonderful actor was Pete Postlethwaite, voted among his peers as 'the best actor in the world'
Love this movie. My dad was a trombonist, from a long line of brass band players. We had this piece played at his funeral.
I cry every time I see this. I absolutely love Pete Postelthwaite.
If this piece of music doesn't move you ... Brilliant film, brilliant Pete Postlethwaite, the music and just his face ❤️ Best of British
Every time I watch this..I " FEEL IT " and not only the Music but also the Story..and each and every time I cannot hold back my tears..but then again...why should I ?
Thank you all for " Thumbs up " ..I believe most of my neigbours all know this so very well, my speakers are Altec Lansing ..and trust me " Loud " is a poor word 😀
One of my all-time fave films. A little masterpiece.👍👍
That brings back so many beautiful memories, mostly about the working
people of the industrial regions of Britain and how we had real communities
in those days with people you could rely on and trust...much more than 2023!
It's heartbreaking for an old guy like me who was born in 51 and grew up in the
working class slums of an industrial northern city, times when communities were
exactly that, communities! What I see today is some other unrecognisable place!
Thank God I learned my life's values from those times & communities.
My heart bleeds for the kids of today!
What I see today is some other unrecognisable place = there was a paradigm shift. in those days with people you could rely on and trust = why were those people trusted? I lived in one of those north cities, because they were Christians, and has a Christian values, unlike today who believe in atheism. How to return? Change the paradigm, it really is that simple.
Yes I too was also born in 1951, I worked down Gedling pit in Nottingham and I new the meaning there of friendship, loyalty and community spirit. It very sad now to see this disaffected society we now live in. fortunately I moved from Nottingham
to Ilkeston Derbyshire where there still is a great deal of community spirit and friendship. I also play the Flugelhorn In the local brass band so here its not so bad
@@Jago938 Nice area Derbyshire, a good move for sure. I spent most of my beautiful life in Australia but came back to Europe 6yrs ago after my only son died (had been divorced a long time). Didn't want to live there after that so retired to Portugal, couldn't live in UK although did think about it....for a very short time :) Life goes on eh :) hope you stay in good health. Cheers.
Played this at my Dads funeral last week. He was a horn player and member of Sale Brass Band. A most suitable moving piece. I chose The Floral Dance to end the ceremony on a high note. .
Brian Hodgson great~♡
Brian Hodgson bet he smells now
It's so powerful

Petes expression doesn’t change through the whole song but shows so many different emotions and feelings, brilliant
He could convey so many emotions without saying one word. He made me cry watching Lost for Words....an amazing actor with so much talent, RIP XXX
Very good observation
Everything about this scene is superb ....And Pete Postlethwaite is a master craftman!.............so touching!
Beautiful. Pete Postlethwaite owned every movie he was in. Incredible actor. Wonderful movie and brilliant scene.
Bloody hell I know this is fiction but this performance gets me every time.
me too ...
The music was performed by grimethorpe colliery, obviously not the actors, but it's not really fictional, plus the movie is based on actual events
It is timely reminder to us all of what happens when a Government turns it’s back on the lifeblood of so many communities casting them onto the waste tip. Good jobs and a community spirit killed off and replaced by drugs and crime, sadly this drama is still playing out in so many former pit villages 35 years after the strike, it genuinely moves me to tears every time I watch it, it breaks my heart.
@@exiledcornishman and the people that voted Tory for Brexit need constant kicks up the backside to remind them that Tories care for themselves and are only interested in conserving their wealth and privilege.
@@adamcarreras-neal4697 what a load of rubbish,you need to get your facts right,harold Wilsonn closed down more pits than Margaret Thatcher, also many labour voters voted for brexit,
A very underrated film that never got the recognition it deserved.
Because it wasn't filmed in Notting Hill or 'ampstead buhloody 'eath! 😉 😂
I loved this film...loved Pete Postlethwaite....so much better than The Full Monty....XXX
Well, it won 10 awards, most of them internationally, and was nominated for 7 more, including 3 BAFTA’s so I’m not sure it was *that* underrated. It certainly ranks in my top ten, and this piece in particular makes my hair stand on end.. although I rather love the Victoria Wood version as well
hear hear
Underrated by whom? I don’t know a single person who has seen it and not utterly loved it.
Pete poslethwaite was the master he could take a simple scene and make it a absolute belter rip pete
I've been variously described as a hard bastard and an unfeeling sod but this piece of music brought me close to tears. Enough said!
Derek,being described as a hard bastard & an unfeeling sod,doesn't mean you don't have a heart. @ Say what you mean,mean what you say.
So, you didn't quite make the grade then ! Perhaps, Next time !
ps. there is no shame in 'man tears'.
Peace.
Never get bored watching this again and again. Mr. Postlethwaite taking the acting to its finest level.
This is played with heart and soul ( music and actors) !!! Thank you, i saw this for the first time and my eyes closed or open it gives me goosebumps and tears !!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊 L.M.
Brassed off a fantastic film ❤
I watched this film while I was in a hotel in one of my countless business travels.
The music was very beautiful, and actors performance stabbed my heart.
In the middle of the night, I cried for those minors and their families.
WoW goosebumps territory, absolutely beautiful.
Love your name can I borrów it ?
@@matiaslerenaclaussen6502 Of course you can, no problem.
Pete Postlethwaite was a first class actor in any film he took part in. Pure class❤ Brilliant film, acting etc.😊
I love the part where Pete comes into his own. I admire and respect him for his work alone. What a talented man Pete was and highly respected too. RIP Pete and thank you so much for your talent.❤
Mind you , Aranjuez is my home town , so I can tell about it . Mr. Rodrigo was born in Sagunto , Valencia , when he died was buried in Aranjuez . He made Aranjuez famous worldwide with that tune .
Thank you..it is a beautiful piece of music
Thanks for that. Be proud
Even more outstanding is that Rodrigo was blind from age three!What an achievement.
my grandfather was your countryman. An exile from Catalonia, he played a very old vinyl copy of this to me when I was a very young boy, 6 or 7 at most. It is and will always be my favourite classical piece. It made him remember home and what he'd left behind, I just wish my guitar playing was good enough to play this. He used to call my grandma he little Fey, Fairy for the English speakers, and we named my daughter Fey and yes spelt the Spanish way to honour both as they had both passed away.
@@adamcarreras-neal4697 That’s a beautiful memory and honouring to it. indeed
The story behind the Aranjuez Concert: the blind Spanish composer - Joaquin Rodrigo - was inspired during his honeymoon in the gardens of the city of Aranjuez. The work was composed in Paris where the author took refuge during the Spanish civil war. Upon returning to Spain, the manuscript written in Braille was brought. The concert of Aranjuez continues being the classic Spanish work that more royalties reports every year. Loaded with enormous sensitivity and passion, both its original version for guitar and Orchestra and this one for brass are fabulous.
Thank you.
Ithink Rodrigo composed a Concerto for flute,for James Galway.You can hear the same lovely harmonies in that .
did'nt know that, Nacho. great info , from a gringo in england.
Thank you for sharing this story with us. I am learning this piece on electric guitar now. It's the only piece of music I have found in ten years that I really need to know how to play!
In Miles Davis version (amazing and my favorite) there is the moment (3/4 in) were the musician owns the piece and takes it back to his place, more modern Jazz .
Concierto d'Aranjuez was written for guitar, but the flugelhorn was a good instrument to use because it sounds so beautifully melancholy.
The composer Joaquin Rodrigo, who was born in Sagunto north of Valencia on the Mediterranean coast, was blind from age 3 when he contracted diphtheria.
His family moved to Valencia so he could attend the blind school there. It was in Valencia where he married his wife Victoria Kamhi, a Turkish-born pianist.
Thanks, but I’d heard he wrote this beautiful piece on the sad death of his beloved daughter?
@@stonemarten1400 Correcto, el bebe nacio muerto.
@@waltzsofa1602 YMMV indeed. For me, this version sounds like a parody arranged by someone that believes that a Spaniard composer should sound like a mariachi band. But if you like it, feel free to like it. Taste in music is subjective, and you shouldn't allow anyone to tell you that your tastes are objectively wrong.
Низкий поклон за такую блестящую работу всей съëмочной группе. Особая благодарность Стивену Томпкинсону за то что мастерски создал на экране такой драматический образ, удивительный актëр. И конечно мощный брутальный Питер Уильям Постлетуэйт! Артист милостью Божией!
13 января 2024 года по общероссийскому федеральному телеканалу "Общественное телевидение России" (ОТР) был показан этот прекрасный фильм "Brassed Off" "Под звуки меди" ("Дело - труба"). Счастлив, что этот шедевр не прошëл мимо меня. Одно из немногих ярких впечатлений за последнее время! Спасибо!

There is something about this piece that brings tears to my eyes. Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up
Thanks for the info Enrique such a haunting piece of music
old65rocker: I know what you mean. You'd have to have a heart of stone not to be affected by this piece, It gets me every time I hear it.
Same here - when I first saw it in the film the tears just started rolling down my cheeks
Rodrigo and his wife lost a child and he succumbed to the sadness and went to Aranjuez to cry his lost and it was there when sadness and pain push him to make this master piece
@@yandig08 thank you very much....now this amazing piece of music makes sense to me.
And she calls that wobbly... R. I. P Pete postlewait.. Sadly missed
Although these events took place nearly 40 years ago they still stir feelings of sadness,and quiet rage.Barnsley born and bred,we were all affected.
Concerto d’ Aranzuez perfectly depicts the poignancy of that time.What a masterpiece.
As an ex Miner this never fails to bring a tear or two and makes the hairs stand up on the back of the neck.
" And she calls that wobbly "
I am sure that with the technology availabe today they can still mine coal I grew up in a Mining Village and MAGGIE Killed so many Communintes

How are you doing today my name is Eric moore
@@ericmoorev8165 Hello Eric
A trio of these type of movies were released in a short period. The Full Monty and Billy Elliot were big hits - but I think this is the best of the three.
Absolutely, by far it's the best. I can't think of many films that pack such an emotional punch, and the stellar cast give some lifetime best performances. And then the music! If you don't shed a tear during the Danny Boy scene, there's no hope for you. I get why The Full Monty was the biggest hit as it's funnier & an easier watch, but I thought Billy Elliot was way overrated.
Easily the best of the three. Brassed Off and the Full Monty was the subject of a case study in a film course I did, where Miramax timidly opened Brassed Off on a few screens with minimal advertising. 20th Century Fox threw caution to the winds, opened The Full Monty on a couple of thousand screens with tens of millions in publicity. Brassed Off earned $2.5 million. Monty earned 100 x its cost, $258 million. Both were Channel 4 films. Miramax for their parsimony lost out big time.
@@fhebbert Proud to say I paid to see all three movies in a cinema when they were out first. Although there were about 4 people at Brassed Off sadly.
This is one of the best movies I've seen. And its far better than The Full Monty, which of course is good too.
I watched this film with my (then) 88 year old retired scientist grandfather a while ago (I was a little nervous as he is quite a gentle man, and there is a fair bit of 'effing and jeffing'): I have never seen him so enthralled by anything on screen before (he doesn't watch much TV). He thought it was a really excellent and entertaining piece of social commentary - I doubt he would have said the same of The Full Monty!
There is never a minute passes by I really enjoy the sound of brass. This tune is so special.😀🥰
Some of the greatest character actors this country had /has all in one series,fantastic stuff.
Beautiful song - great film - epic actor (RIP).
Concerto d'Orange Juice :)
So that's what he said? ....ugh....
My Swiss girlfriend just watched this movie and I’d forgotten how superb Pete was. Just the looks to Andy at the start of this clip. And the joy at hearing the “orangejuice” concerto played so brilliantly.
RIP the late, great Pete Postlethwaite!
I watched the series, spellbound, on it's release on UK tv.
I'd heard 'Orangejuice' on the guitar, many times, as Rodrigo had intended, but the frugle was a superb touch by the scriptwriters, in keeping with the brass band theme.
It's one of those pieces that always reduces me to tears, regardless.
Thanks for posting!
Es la mejor interpretación que he escuchado en mi vida.
Escucha la versión de Paco de lucia (QEPD).
Fantastic film!!!! A tribute to all those miners and their families.
