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.

Ja,Ole Edvard…dette er jo i den internationale toppklass!! Hilsen Brynjar

Probably the best performance I've ever heard of this solo . Fantastic !

Bravoooop Csodaszép trombita játék... Köszönöm szèpen!!!❤❤❤😊😊😊

Maybe the fastest tongue on a trumpet I've ever heard. Crazy speed and fluidity

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 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!

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!

Sei unico Sei grande Sei Tutto COMPLIMENTI

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.

suono, tecnica, articolazione, staccato,tutto, performance incredibile, bravo!

MAGNIFICENT OLE!

No words can give that performance the credit it deserves. Unbelievable! 😲

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.

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.

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.

Nobel Price for cornet for him like Maurice André....

I never get tired of hearing this piece Napoli played! Fantastic!!!

Was für eine unglaubliche Interpretation! Wirklich herausragend!

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.

Гениально! Уникальный трубач по всем параметрам, звука и непревзойденной техники!!! Брависсимо!!!

I am SO glad he picked that cornet for this piece. It was PERFECT! The old Rome feeling it exudes is amazing. Great performance!

Someone give this man a medal! Damn!!!!

Having lunch with Ole today in Oslo. I'm looking forward to meeting this wonderful musician!

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.

Nothing less than stupendous!

This video makes me want to cry at my own abilities

I keep coming back to this!

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.

ABSOLUTE LEGEND! No question of it.

That was simply awesome!

He got the chops

I can just say incredible

Incredible to say the least. Ole had to have been born with a trumpet in his hands. Just perfection.......

Super!!!!! Bravissimo!!!!! Wonderful player!!!!! Just fantastic!!!!! Brilliant!!! I without knowing what to write! ! ! The most many thanks! ! !

I could have practised 23 hours a day and never would have been as good as this

Brilliant playing in every way.

Beautiful!

semplicemente mostro

Too many soloists sacrifice tone for technical show off. This guy has it all - tone and technique. sounds really well with orchestra.

I keep coming back... And I'm still amazed...

J'hallucine. Je suis certain qu'il n'y a pas 5 personnes dans le monde capables de jouer ça. Exceptionnel

phenomenal!!!

Wonderful playing and musical interpretation......I love it!

Very nice performance and beautifully played!

Incredible playing, showmanship, articulation, control and everything in between

Fantastic 🎉❤️

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.

Awesome -flawless. Orchestra & cornet complimenting each other beautifully.

Soo clean !

Outstanding.Thk you.
