“Beautiful” – TOTB, featuring Aneel Soomary

Here’s another in the recent series of videos from last weekend’s concerts with Otto Sauter‘s Ten of the Best at the Wartburg Festival. This time it features my good friend Aneel Soomary playing “Beautiful” – written by Linda Perry, which was such a huge hit for Christina Aguilera. This is a great showcase for Aneel’s wonderful playing and demonstrates why he is the most in-demand trumpet player in Vienna, Austria and numerous surrounding areas!

Tonight, we play the 2nd of our “Swinging Christmas Melodies” concerts at the historic Castle ‘Auf der Wartburg’, above Eisenach, Germany. Yesterday we played to a packed house and had a great deal of fun!! Looking forward to more of the same tonight.

I’ll be posting some video highlights in the coming days – the hotel internet here in Eisenach is not cooperating too well, right now…

Tonight, Otto Sauter’s “Ten of the Best & Friends” return to the historic castle Auf der Wartburg, above Eisenach, Germany. We’ll be presenting our annual “Swinging Christmas Melodies” shows, this weekend, in this beautiful concert hall built for Franz Liszt, when he was the composer at court. In addition to the great music, the medieval Christmas Market will be open for the first time in the season. If you like great trumpet playing, this is the place to be!
