Het blijft een interessant onderwerp. Waarom?
Omdat Ph. McCann overduidelijk een KLASSE-cornettist is die op zijn zachtst gezegd dubieuze muziek maakt. Even een serieus commentaar uit m.i. onverdachte hoek (BBB):
"I feel compelled to comment.........
Phil is a very nice man and very interesting to talk to, also he is an excellent band trainer and musical director. Unfortunately, as a soloist, his works have set back teh brass band movement about 50 years.
Phil is obviously a fine player, but his sound and style,..and, ok, the vibrato, has, for me anyway, turned him into a 'one trick dog'. I had a CD of his solo performances and found that it was impossible to listen to more than three tracks at any one time, before extreme nausea set in!! This CD has the unique honour of being the ONLY brass band CD that I have given away!
In the UK there is STILL the historic predujice against brass bands,...it's a class thing largely. There are those who feel complelled to see that brass bands stay in their working class origins and don't interfer with 'real' music. The mechanism of this is the constant implication that brass bands are full of ignorant working class people who are ignorant and incapable of any musical or artistic discretion. Phil has sadly become a 'bogey man' that can be held up to signify the expreme use of vibrato which is the corner stone of musical snobbery in the UK ...even tho' most brass bands use only controlled and contextual use of vib, and have done so now for many years."

Vrij naar Hans: Well, if I could play like Philip, I wouldn't play like Philip.
