Someone who expects perfection clearly. What I love about Dave Bilger is that he is not flawless. He's human. Mistakes happen in his performances but what he plays is beautiful and musical.

Exactly! Well put.

chuckthenugget There is no thing as perfection. David Bilger's live performance was spectacular. I agree with William Leathers. How often to we hear this concerto performed live? Next to never. I find your comments quite disturbing.

MY comments are disturbing...?

Funny, of all the live versions I've heard Bilger's is my favorite.

That is a C trumpet

a few missee notes??? Are you kidding lol

zaknefain100 .......what is the point in saying "A few missed notes"? This is simply a tremendous job on a world class piece of music.

This is an awesome concerto, it's just so much harder than Haydn and Hummel that it's not played by everyone and their mother.

oh, and Arutunian is another great one

Elliot Rose and lovelock

He was using a Bach 229 bell Large Bore and 25H lead pipe

Now he uses a yamaha new york C

Just before the orchestra tune up that information is scrolled at the bottom of the screen

This video was made (discreetly) from the back of a box seat on a Sony Hi8 format home video camera. David performed this under the rigors of being an orchestral principal which meant that there were other heavy duty pieces required before (morning rehearsal) and after this solo. He also was a featured soloist with the Tomasi on a tour of South America with the orchestra which followed this particular series of performances. I have never heard a more accurate "live" performance in my lifetime and disagree with you that it lacked the "French" charm of André. I'm sure that André's recording was made under a much more relaxed atmosphere than this and with smaller equipment...particularly the mouthpiece. David was using a Bach 1 and a quarter C at the time. I'll never forget his immaculate performance of this during his audition process to become a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra (required rep at the time!). Bravo again, Dave, for all your consistent artistry through the years!

Dear Mr. Blackburn, thank you for your sincere reply. For sure to perform the Tomasi concerto is a real achievement. I surely was impressed by the opening but about certain parts I was less enthusiastic. Audiences might feel this way even on a KZfaq performance. I got the feeling that the orchestra was not that inspired and supporting. Difficult for a solist maybe. Your explanation about this being an audition gives some understanding. Kind regards from The Netherlands, Theo Hartman

This is what I call a civil disagreement. Congratulations, gentlemen.

continuous brass Saying that you were “not impressed by the soloist” is absurd. Your definition of “French Charm” by Maurice Andrew is simply over blowing and lack of Dynamic control. Playing harder does not make a performance more impressive. Bilger has the perfect amount of finesse and Articulation that makes the piece feel light and weightless even in its most striking parts. Bilger’s dynamic control and articulation are just about spot on and flawlessly portraying this music for everything it was meant for, on top of all the added pressures mentioned above. Reading your arrogant comment annoyed me enough to write this one of my own.
