All the emails about Keith Hutchinson on this forum reminded me of hearing him play Steadman-Allen's "Mid-Century Concerto for Cornet" with Enfield Citadel Band at Toronto's Roy Thomson Hall back in 1986. I seem to recall as a 15 year old bandsman at the time that this piece was quite different from normal SA solos. I know that the cornet players in the CSB at the time thought it was a true master work by R.S-A. and played brilliantly by Keith.
Does anybody play this solo anymore? It would seem to me that it would probably be something that many prinicpal cornets are not aware of but could get some decent use.
I don't think it has ever been recorded either. Can anyone set me straight on that?
