Enough said.
Tine Thing Helseth!
It’s a little out of season to feature this familiar tune, but a trumpet sound like this never goes out of season. Please check out Tine-she’s got at least one solo cd out with more on the way. She’s an EMI Classics artist.

Bruckner Symphony No. 7 – Herseth shows how it’s done
I’m currently working up Bruckner Symphony No. 7 for an upcoming concert. After listening to a few recordings, I decided to consult YouTube for some more interpretations. I found a real gem of a performance, the Chicago Symphony under Solti. Bud Herseth is an unrelenting powerhouse with endurance for days. He can play a full page at practically full tilt only to sound light and BEAUTIFUL for the next pp entrance, like it was the first entrance of the piece. Bud’s sound is singing, heroic, illuminating, commanding, whispering, magic, and the view into the man’s heart. There’s a reason he is the gold standard of trumpet playing.

National Brass Symposium master class
Here’s an excellent video of orchestral brass playing. It’s the famous chorale in the 5th movement of Mahler’s 2nd Symphony. Note the trumpet section is made up of the principals of the New York Philharmonic (Philip Smith), Cleveland Orchestra (Michael Sachs), Chicago Symphony Orchestra (Chris Martin), and the Boston Symphony Orchestra (Tom Rolfs).
Here’s another of the opening of Also Sprach Zarathustra. Personnel is slightly different. I really like the conducting of Michael Mulcahy (2nd trombone with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra). Do you?
How about Tchaikovsky’s 4th?
The lighter side of the trumpet……
Some excellent playing here from Markus Wursch on both Bb/A piccolo and G trumpet.
