Honest question, the score calls for trumpets in F, so they would only be playing a G, right? Still impressive obviously, but a bit more manageable, right?

@simone.1391 5 жыл бұрын

@@looney1023 Unfortunately the trumpets they played are standard orchestral C-trumpets: it means that, despite the fact that on the score is printed a G (because the key is F and in F is the trumpet for which the score has been originally thought), the note they played is actually a C high... Very very difficult considering the diminuendo from ff to ppp

To hear the Chicago Symphony Orchestra back in the 1970s and 80s play Mahler was to experience a wonder. Chicago Symphony was the best in the world, including Vienna and New York. With Arnold Jacobs on Tuba, Jay Friedman Principle Trombone and Edward Kleinhammer on Bass Trombone, led by Sir Georg Solti, their rendition was such that you were overwhelmed. Truly an experience that won't be forgotten. I also studied breathing technique with Mr. Kleinhammer. If you can find a Chicago Symphony rendition of Mahler, do yourself a favor and listen to it. Remarkable ...

My favorite parts about this are 1) How well we can hear the contrabasson in the opening chorale, and 2) how Mr. Alessi and Mr. Findlayson move their slides at such noticeably different times when they are playing in unison, and yet their combined sound and phrasing are so utterly perfect together. Oh, and that final high C in the trumpets is just ridiculous.

NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC at Geffen Hall. Gustav Mahler was and is still today a 'pure gift' to all sections of the orchestra. His majestic composing for brass instruments along with his ability to technically, melodically and harmonically structure a work to enable his musical genius to envelope our ears and all of our sensibilities is still a marvel. William Vachiano, Seth Herseth and Gil Johnson still top my list of principal trumpet players.But I still appreciate Phil Smith who also is a conductor. And 'gender diversity' along with superb musicianship in the trombone section. And come on New York Philharmonic.There are plenty of African American and Hispanic musicians that can join the ranks of this orchestra. What is a present to all of us is how Mahler managed to allow his brain to elicit 'pure magnificence' on a sheet of composition paper. It's almost 1:00am in the morning and the beauty of this work has still kept me wide awake. Once again; resounding excellence is just what the doctor prescribed.
