I use this video to show students how you can still play musically even when you're not even close to your best (blame covid). Brass instruments can be very unforgiving. Bravo Mr. Wright!
Yes. His expression was one of the best I've ever heard on this. He plays with a certain lightness like Dennis Brain played horn concertos. I estimate 6 chipped notes in the 1st movement, I don't know what happened to that one note in the 2nd, and maybe 4 chipped notes in the third. Most were at places not necessarily that difficult and it makes me think something mental was going on. I don't think any of it was from tiring, except maybe the little mashup of chipped notes in the 3rd. He certainly has good technique, and I strongly suspect he has played this clean many times. Anyway, the great Adolph Herseth once chipped a note performing this. It happens to all of us. It's hard to hide when you are a soloist. But in a section of the orchestra, most of the audience won't even notice but the conductor will.
Clearly a bad night for Mr. Wright. I feel bad for him--any brass player can have a night like this---as the performance is on TH-cam and is out there. It should not have gone public in this way as it cannot reflect Mr. Wright's true abilities. He has been a member of the BSO for some time now.
Honestly he played in a style that brought out the character of the work and his sound is phenomenal. I'd rather hear this with a few flubbed notes than 99% of what's out there for Hadyn. And it is a live performance. I mean even Wynton's live performances weren't quite as mistake free as the recordings.
I dont agree. Ben Wright sounds fenomenal. He might not be the "cleanest" trumpet player out there, but he shows so much character and drive. I love it, and I think this performance represent him very well. Full of life, full of risk. Beautiful sound.
@@magiking96 I suspect he has played this piece clean many times. Just not on this night. That sometimes happens. Other than that, superb expression and musicianship.
The soloist played consistently sharp, missed too many notes and played Classical like Romantic. Not a convincing performance. He made the audience nervous by watching how nervous he was. And the last measure was unnecesarily slow. He needs to take Inderal to eliminate dry mouth and nerves.
Really don’t know what compelled you to say something so pointless and rude. If you wanna hear an absolutely flawless performance, live music isn’t for you.
I’m not a trumpet player (not jet, just bought myself a cornet) I’m just a 76 yo mediocre amateur violinist. Yes I definitely noticed a couple of missed notes. To many even considering it’s a live performance.
he is a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and just because he messed up on the notes does not mean he is bad. Super unnecessary and just plainly rude honestly. Also you can't knock him for style. He is the one playing the solo not you. aww boohoo you didn't like it go find something else to do. Its unnecessary to dog on a PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN because he had one bad night.

Wonderful & Beautiful!!!!!
Really beautiful performance! Sweet cadenza!
But I was scared he would not get the second slide in again in time 😄😄👍🏻.
Nun te preoccupa' sei forte lo stesso. Co li scrocchi ce accennemo er foco.... Poi er pane fa e briciole e a tromba li scrocchi 👍
Jazz trumpeter can play dirty tones, classic trumpeter live with much more stress and perhaps shorter 😢

Who are you to criticise pal.
Classical v romantic? What do you have in mind there champ? Not the best performance, but a very stereotypical interpretation of the Haydn.
