- with Rod Franks, principal trumpet of the London Symphony Orchestra
The London Symphony Orchestra is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Rod Franks -- a member of the LSO's trumpet section since 1988 -- following a serious car accident in Nottinghamshire on Sunday 20 July 2014. Read the full statement on our website: lso.co.uk/more/news/110-rod-f... - เพลง
Saddened and shocked at the news of the tragic death of this great man... RIP Rod. You and your trumpet sound will be sorely missed...
RIP, Rod. Thank you for the years of beautiful playing.
What a truly amazing trumpet section the LSO had with Mairice,Rod and Nigel in it. Mahler,Bruckner etc,must have soundrd sensational, they brought these symphonies alive for so many.
That's true. The LSO Co-Principal position has been held by some fine players from Willie Lang onwards. Lang's tenure at the LSO saw him share the principal's job with both Howard Snell and Maurice Murphy ( WL actually preceded MM as principal solo cornet of the Black Dyke Band) - you an see and hear booth him and HS on the LSO's very fine performance of Rite of Spring under Bernstein from 1966 on youtube. When Lang retired he was replaced by Malcolm Smith who stepping across from the BBC Concert orchestra after 13 years found himself suddenly having to play louder ("I couldn't believe the sound coming from the trombones"). MM's reputation as one of the finest British orchestral trumpeters ever is legendary but I think my favourite section was the short time when the section included HS and John Wallace (on 2nd trumpet if you please!). By the way did you know that at one point in the 1970s Rod was also in the solo cornet ranks of Black Dyke? He may have been "bumper" to Philip McCann but I can't be certain.
So sad to hear of his passing. Much respect to those who've loved him. And many thanks for such tremendous skill.
As a conductor and man of music, I can only congratulate for this wonderful demonstration of teaching art. The Brits still remain the best in didactical matters. I learnt more in this 8 minutes about music and style in performing music than in all my life putt together. some ot Mr Franks' remarks are just amazing: they really explain what performing music means. Great. Post more.
Amazing trumpet playere..R.I.P
R.I.P. Rod. You played beautifully.
Hi foodmore, in the LSO we have two Principals for each instrument, and they job-share. Rod and Maurice were Principal Trumpet together for 20 years; Maurice for 10 years before Rod joined. Rod was once a pupil of Maurice's!
Great memories, sorry to hear the news.
@drummerbambi yes he is. The LSO has two Principals for every section.
Fantastic! I would love to see a master class on the opening solo to Pictures at an Exhibition - Promenade. The LSO does this particularly well, I find.
WELL. GOOD PERFORMANCE. CONGRATULATIONS
He has just taught me something I have never learnt from any conductor!
@moorebaroque they split roughly 50:50 - so if Rod is playing First, Phil is off, and vice versa. Although at the moment, because very sadly another of our trumpeters passed away in November, you might see them both in the section at once, the one not on First covering whichever part is necessary.
RIP Rod. Really really sad news.
Awesome
Who is that conductor?? I saw him at TV and I love his conduct.
@hansloenjr Oh sorry, how many years have you been playing trumpet? and which orchestra do you play with?
so how does it work with both Rod and Phil being principal? Who plays what part? Do they both play 1st trumpet or does Phil and Rod switch between 1st and 2nd trumpet? How does the whole thing work?
so do you play most excerpts on b flat or on c?
i heard someone that in British symphonies, they never ever use c trumpets, only Bb. is that true? and if so, why?
@7:02- OMG as a trumpet player I know it's hard to play those huge intervals with such fluency and huge sound!
:'( R.I.P
RIP Rod
👏👏👏👏🎺
is that a Yamaha trumpet??? just joking! great playing, great movie, great teaching, great symphony indeed....
R.I.P
Any one notice the pencil clip at 4:44 ?
@alankace In my high school, we worry about all of those things.
Then again, I go to Denver School of the Arts.
he was principal trumpet for 20 years?
Isn't it maurice murphy?
This might sound dumb, but I'm pretty sure having a mustache helps with trumpet playing. Haha
Charlie Geyer might agree
Why is the playing low E with 3?...
Rod explains why in the video, it's to help the tuning of the trumpet with the other sections: woodwind, strings etc.
Why is he playing low E with 3?
jsteuernol tuning
check out the product placement lolololol
@hansloenjr You should try and know what you are talking about before you go posting around. Just a little hint.
5:01 I wonder if that's a Yamaha trumpet he's playing on. 🤣

"Suck on the Principle Trumpet seat of the London Symphony Orchestra"
Yamaha Schleichwerbung.
No doubt in that Rod has no chance to 1st if he was playing with Phil... He is god, but not that much... REGARDS
