The best all-trumpet performance of this arrangement I've heard out of three or four. Of course it's to be expected when the soloist doubling as a quartet also is principal trumpeter for the NY Phil. One might well call this performance truly historic!

I was a student of Christopher's father, Freddy Martin, in my high school years. I remember when Christopher was born. He'd get dressed up in a mini version of our marching band uniform and join us in the bandroom sometimes. He was our little mascot. I am thrilled to see that he's doing so well. Such a talented young man who comes from a musical family.

When you can't find three other musicians as good as yourself...

The microphrasing though... just an unparalleled quality of musicianship. I come back to this recording and a few others once in a while for inspiration. It's incredible!

Reminds me of the Canadian Brass version. Spectacular!

I can’t believe I went to high school with this amazing musician. What a gift to say I played in band with him and knew him when. Just brilliant.

The lip trill...beautiful execution going in and out of it

This guy never ceases to amaze me.

What fun! Fantastic!! Thank you for adding a little delight to the day.

When you know all four parts.....and no one else sounds as good as you

What a glorious presentation! Bach just fills me up.

Awesome. Chicago was blessed to have you, come back and visit, please!

A beautiful performance. What a gifted musician !

Christopher is such an amazing musician. Just beautiful! Thank you NYPHIL!

Awesome, thanks for sharing your skill, Christopher. Beautiful playing!

Excellent! The tuning was impeccable.

Thanx Manny, that was mesmerizing. ❤️🐾🕊🦋

Fabulous! I was upset before I saw this and it just made me remember the beauty of the world. Thanks!

Nice job! Really love this video. Also sounds really nice.

Beautiful!

So clean, balanced, pleasure! Bravo!!!

Absolutely amazing!

Absolutely beautiful!

Fantastic! What a treat! Thanks so much for taking the time and trouble to make this. P.S. - l loved the way you distinguished your avatars by changing t-shirts.

Spectacular playing!!!

I love this. Absolutely fantastic.

Beautiful explosion of emotions!

The clarity of trumpet makes it sound better than any pipe organ piece I have ever heard. Excellent precision on part of the artist.

Wow, his phrasing is just incredible!!

When I was growing up they told me it was bad to play with yourself. They never heard THIS guy!

Bravo! Just gorgeous!

Yes!!!! Very much enjoyed that.

This is just so excellent!

Spectacular! What a terrific idea!

Exquisite tone Christopher!!

Amazing

Sounds so great!

Very enjoyable, thanks/.

Sublime!

Bravo! Very fantastic.

Perfection!❤️

This is wonderful

Bach's Little Fugue in F minor ... C trumpet must have been in the repair shop lol. Amazing Performance!!!

Bravo Chris! Great sound! And I thought you only played the First Part!🙄 Man everything was spot on perfect!

Fantastic

Tremendous!

Bravo!!!!!

Bravo ...

Awesome

Bravissimo Christopher!!!

well that's just brilliant

Miss you. Be safe.

Nice decorative posthorn

Lovely sound! noice

Super!!!!!!!!!

Out of curiosity, how many tracks were involved in making this video? This is exactly the caliber of musicianship Mr. Martin has become known for. Students of the trumpet should really pay attention to his consistency of articulation throughout the instruments range. Bravo!

Well done!

fantastic!! :)

This sounds really neat in F minor wow

applaude!

That's the way to do it !!!!!

Maestro, hay una pequeña errata en el cuarto pulso del compás 7. La nota E no es bemol, sino natural. En cualquier caso, enhorabuena por el gran trabajo. Un saludo.

Beautiful, exquisite playing, now in f minor on the Bb trumpet choice. Hard to imagine better playing, and better music for that matter.

That's cool.

Nothing sounds like a Bach 👌

Well, all I can say is, it doesn’t get any better than that! May I ask, what did you use as a continuous track in your ears to maintain a constant tempo?

Is Chris playing a new Bach 190 in this video? First Bach Bb vs. Yamaha Zeno I've seen him play in a while. Those 190's are some of the nicest playing/sounding Strads in years. Thanks Tedd Waggoner for solidifying Bach Stradivarious as a true standard with the 190's before retiring.

Do any of you remember Louis Davidson?

So tasteful!

Brilliant - beautifully played and recorded. Could you share the equipment used in the recording?

This is great. Would you be willing to share what kind of microphone you used to record?

Impressive

ya man

Bravo! 4 jobs well done!

And no arguing over who has the principal part!

Handsome dude!

Hi. I think that there is a wrong note in the 4 beat of the seven bar. I think it would be a E natural, instead of a E flat. Sorry if am wrong.

Is that a new Bach 190? You'd sound great on anything

how long have you been playing?

Is there a tip jar for these musicians? I just read about one Met Opera member who recently had to sell his 19th century bow to pay his mortgage.

Could I get the sheet music?

👍✌

Chris tell Freddy HI.

I’m a low brass player, and I still love to listen to stuff like this! Us low brassers can learn more from trumpet than we give them credit for.

you should play the hornet theme song with all the chromatics and stuff. Those are really cool

Wow. What make/model trumpet is he sounding??

In the 18th second it sounds different from Canadian Brass . Another tone.

He has such a chamber player's sound... Wonderful... I'm asking why he doesn't dedicate himself 100% to chamber music...

Robert Garrison

its just straight. no flavor. its like bland food.

Beautiful!

Bravo!

Bravo!

Bravo!
