This is one of my favorite works for piccolo trumpet, and no one does it better than Maurice Andre

Airiness, luminosity, clarity, transparency, accuracy, virtuosity, brilliance, brio... bravo!!! By far one of the all-time greatest.

Talk about straight in with it! Perfect attack on the notes - bellissimo!!

Every note has its own internal shape, complementary to the line of the melody. This is what distinguishes M Andre's playing from other trumpet players. He has a soul.

I heard this in 1975, and it has always been a favorite trumpet concerto. Vivaldi is exciting, energetic, and concise. It's the perfect wake-up music. It was said Andre would walk in the woods and play his trumpet in the morning.

It's amazing how his high notes sound exactly like a violin.

Very nice, and well done and I love the viola/violin in the background very nice mix. It also has a big tint of Royalty but it’s funny because usually that is the Harpsichords job! 👏🏻

Brilliant peace... I love this one.

MHS-755 introduced me to Msr/Maestro Andre and what an introduction! He changed the universe -- RIP!

Ed. By Jean Thilde (1908-1978) From：Vivaldi Sonata In F Major Op.2／4 RV 20 Ⅰ.Allegro Ⅱ.Sarabande Ⅲ.Presto

Simply DIVINE!

Thanks for posting!

Diese Aufnahme von diesem AS Dur Konzert war das erste Stück was ich von Maurice Andre gehört habe. Es hat meinen Lebenweg beeinflusst. Ich wollte so werden wie er, habe es natürlich nie geschafft. Die Liebe zur Piccolotrompete blieb aber. Vielen Dank für dieses Video

beautiful !

Just brilliant

@RyanTrumpet Yes! :) ... Beautiful!!!

einfach wundervolle

fantastic

lovely

amazing player

My new favorite classical song! OH YEAH! haha

Such a unique tone

Tout simplement Maurice André! Voilà, tout est dit!

Amizing.

He was also a pilot and flew his own Falcon 10 to business venues and concerts.

Caramba que bien Vivaldi.

Sheet music can be found at Maurice ANDRE's website. Hope this helps...

Very good

Here's an odd bit of trivia about Herbert von Karajan.......he owned a 1967 Ford GT-40, the "Ferrari killer" of the 60s.

maurice . . .no other

Nicht nur Ludwig van Beethoven, sondern auch die weiteren Tondichter haben die "Ode an die Freude" komponiert... (Not only Ludwig van Beethoven, but even other harmonists have composed the "ode to joy...") :)

Somebody that saw Maurice Andre play years ago said he walked in, took off his coat, unpacked his horn, wiggled his valves a little, and then started to play without warming up. Is this possible? I've also heard that he (I believe I've heard this about flautist Rampal, too) has written into his contract that if he makes one mistake, he will accept no fee. Also possible? Addendum: With the possible exception of Mozart, no composer ever sounds to me as if he's having more fun playing with his toys (the twelve notes of the Western Harmonic System), as Vivaldi does. @@CCtuba1 No biggie, I'm just recounting what I'd heard, and, true or not, it's a brilliant marketing ploy. **jhssuthrnmama Why would either of these not be possible? I'm just a semi-pro trumpet player, and I could easily play once without warming up. I could even play many times without warming up, as long as I did something earlier in the day most days to accomplish the goal of warming up the lip muscles. And as a professional, I would not want to be paid if I made mistakes in my performance. As someone hiring professional musicians, I would not want to pay if they made a mistake. These aren't musical competitions we're discussing, but paid performances, and a paid performance should be flawless. **tuxguys Wow, you'd be a tough audience to play for. "Flawlessness" is the goal; speaking as a working professional musician since the mid-'60's (guitar), I know how rarely it is achieved. I also know that (unlike yourself, or myself), most audiences are overwhelmingly made up of people who won't actually notice the flaws, as long as the performer doesn't visually telegraph them when they occur. Perhaps that's what Andre managed to achieve, performance after performance, on a brass instrument (the most technically challenging of instrument families, in my opinion): The Illusion of Flawlessness. **jhssuthrnmama IDK; I really don't think it's that difficult to play a flawless performance on a trumpet. It is a difficult instrument to play for long periods of time (b/c it's very muscular in nature), but not out of reach to play flawlessly. You're only playing one note at a time, after all, and most trumpet players don't take gigs that are beyond their capabilities. Also, most audiences for professional trumpet playing are more discerning than most audiences for guitar (I say this as someone who also sings semi-pro with bands, & gigs on jazz & rock on trumpet with bands, so don't worry; I'm not knocking your audience!), and more likely to hear error. It's easier to hear error when you're playing only one note at a time. I can't say I've ever often heard a professional classically trained trumpet player miss a note in a professional performance. Jazz, sure, I mean, you're making it up a lot of the time and the difference between error & improv can be pretty close. ;) **tuxguys "The difference between error & improv can be pretty close."-- Brilliant. Shaok353 Yes, very very possible for a true professional. It's not just a matter of warming up though. Its a matter of varying the pitch in your mouth to start to compensate for the tone of the trumpet at it changes as it warms up. The biggest issue is going to be having oil in your valves. **tuxguys "having oil in your valves...." A metaphor for life.

celestiale

i fell in love with a new instrument. the trumpet

man i wish i could find the sheet music to this

Some people hate it when every trumpet recording DOESN'T sound like Maynard.

what is the name of this first track

Which Peter Ryom's catalogue number is this concerto? Obviously it isn't the RV 537 concerto.

hola

Why isn't this on iTunes

It may very well be said that playing the trumpet is 90% mental, 9% air, and 1% chops. The main point being that it is the player that predetermines his goal before the lips meet the mouthpiece.

1:40

I would like to know the same...

How could someone have given this a thumbs down?

Hello GCSE music student

Lord Gideon Grey

Andre war ein ganz Großer !!

though i dun like Maurice Andre very much, but he's doing good at this song!!bravo!

The trumpet player must use a lot of air

Ich bin total begeistert und wollte Zeit meines Lebens dieses Konzert spielen. Vor drei Tagen hatte ich mein Examen auf der Trompete und möchte es nun endlich selbst spielen. Kann mir jemand die RV sagen? Oder wie ich anderweitig an die Noten komme? Ich habe schon jeden mir bekannten Shop durchsucht, aber nichts gefunden. Ich bin für jeden Hinweis dankbar! :-)

Nobody doubts about the quality of Maurice Andre's professionally. But the trumpet itself is hundred kilometers far, I don t find any connection between the trumpet and the rest. The performance is ok though, I don t find very accurate the combination and it s not Vivaldi' s most inspired piece (in my opinion)

sry wollt wundervoll schreiben

I'm presuming your spelling CAPITOL is some kind of ironic joke. Otherwise it's pot calling kettle black....if you even know what that means.

there is a better version of this concert, with BP and Karajan

i wish when people wrote something they would check their spelling before posting and making themselves look like idiots.
