There was a similar thread on 4br a while back. Not just limiting the choice to brass bands, (though there are some very fine flugel players in them!) who do you think is the tops? For me, it's the Russian Sergei Nakariakov who to my ears has taken flugel playing to another level in terms of tone and range (particularly the bottom range. His renditions of both the Tchaikovsky Variations on a Rococo Theme and Haydn Cello cConcerto are amogst those 'think I'll give up now' renditions!) All in all, he makes it sound like a horn as opposed to an extension of the trumpet family as some others do.
Any other nominations?
