What young trumpet players should note in this beautiful display is that immediately there is a pure sound coming out of the horn, there is no such thing as attacking a note.Just like a soprano, he sings on a trumpet!
Cosmic Dissonance yeah he attacks the second note and many others. It wouldn’t sound like a field horn without the attack, even though it’s soft and beautiful.
I heard Bud Herseth play this on an Eb with a Fleugal mpce. I believe Bruno Walter was the Conductor. I have played a Corno de Caccia, which resembles a Posthorn which is depicted on the Post Office in Denmark, Germany and Poland, but I like it on my Scherzer Roditi .453 with Klier 1/3.8 back bore. I have fond memories of a day spent at the "munstuck" factory in Nurenberg. Jurgen Klier insisted on "turning" his reccomended 3.8. It was fastinating - and fast. He gave to me as a gift! Big, Teutonic sound I had sought for nearly 30 years! My playing days are over; I'll soon be 84...
once again i am reminded of how my very brilliant music theory teacher back in the 70's despised Mahler - called him an 8th rate composer - and this i discovered was a fairly common sentiment among classical musicians/educators of his generation - how times have changed
@ hehe - other than his position on Mahler, i was in agreement with him - actually looking back now i would consider him the best teacher I ever had - truly wonderful teacher and a wise human being - and he was a wonderful composer as well - also he was something of an outcast among his peers and suffered for it as he made no bones about how much he despised atonal, serial music and the abandonment of melody

@@VallaMusic the 'those who cant, teach' idea was a bit harsh, so my apologies if that was too strong a sentiment. Glad to know you had an engaging and wonderful teacher at that time in your musical life...the value of which cannot be understated. Even considering disagreements on aesthetics, etc. Who was your teacher? Most who eschewed the post-modern schools did so in defense of tonality...and there aint no more tonality in the world than Gustav! I think I mentioned elsewhere the 3rd is basically one big V-I. I've always felt a lot of criticism levied at Mahler is warranted: the schmaltz, the 'over-orchestration', the insanity (lol)....but I've also always felt those criticisms are at the surface of his music as Art...and when the cynicism and critique are put away, we are left with the utmost authentic human expressions of what is being conveyed. In other words, for all the trappings and low-hanging fruit, Mahler's genius resides in his almost infinite ambiguities. That quality is unable to be critiqued, really...and why bother doing so anyway?, as his composition are the raw emotions we all carry around with us. Anyway...all the best to you
Exquisitely played. The emotions Mahler’s music evoke here are hard to describe. We’re still only beginning to understand the gift that Mahler left us.
Mahler knew exactly how to write characteristic melodies for all the instruments in the orchestra. These melodies are always audition material and things that we all practice as we aim for perfection. Thank you Gustav. Nice work Chris.
Absolutely gorgeous, Chris. Thank you. It transported me to that time telling a story that in bringing news to the village, the Postman may have been inspired to create beautiful tunes as he traveled alone taking in beautiful sights and sounds of the countryside. Stay safe and keep making music.
Another NYP Prin. Trumpet giving us an absolute masterclass here. I remember as a young trumpeter listening to my Phil Smith CD's on excerpts and was very fortunate to go to NYC for a lesson with Mr. Smith. New York and Chicago have a particular history of phenomenal brass sections. Chicago had, in my opinion, the best brass section of all time.
I had the opportunity to listen to Chris play during one of the brass players' clinics during the Midwest Clinic this past winter. It was absolutely the hardest event to attend, it was delayed, and I barely snuck in at the last minute, having to sit on the floor. This gave me a fantastic point of view however, and it will forever be in my memory. As a trumpet player, I see Chris' ability as the ultimate goal. I still have never heard a more beautiful and sung sound than his.
Great ideas from you, Chris, and your colleagues to play these wonderful solos from Mahler symphonies. I am a great admirer of Mahler and his cosmically contributions to the world of music. I am living in Hamburg, where we are waiting for the reopening of our Elbphilharmonie concert hall. Your former chief conductor Alan Gilbert has already performed some Mahler symphonies. Please - more of this!
Chris, to sound this relaxed on such a demanding piece is an outstanding accomplishment! And your introduction was both enlightening and artfully done. Thank you for sharing the God-given gift of yourself with us!
Alan Nesbitt so you are taking away the years of hard dedicated practice to then put it on god? I know you need talent but I always get mad when I see people never mentioning how hard and dedicated musicians are
1:13 For this Lock down Concert we'll do it on the C trumpet, but we have a Mark Curry TF Mouthpiece which is a cross between a Flugelhorn & a Trumpet Mouthpiece.
I was going to use the word exquisite, but someone else just did. So I’ll just say that this was just beautiful. The DSO (at Orchesrta Hall in Detroit) did this work a few years ago under Neeme Järvi with the post horn off stage. It was wonderfully evocative, unforgettable. So this was an unexpected, special treat. Thanks so much!
Lovely playing. Some time ago I discovered a "Rhapsody Espanol" by Liszt (played by Murray Periah. I'm a pianist but that's way beyond me). Written in the 1840's, it contains a tune that appears to be part of Mahler's posthorn solo. I've since been curious about the connection. Very recently I heard a "Spanish overture" on the "Jota Aragonesa" by Glinka, nearly contemporary with the Liszt piece, with the same tune. So I'm wondering if Mahler based his solo on a Spanish folk tune. Anybody know?
So you named that some people play it on flugelhorn or a modern posthorn, but what about the cornet? Since that's a direct 'descendant' of the posthorn? Wouldn't it make more sense to play it on one of those instead of a flugelhorn?
Very beautiful sound! Congratulations from a trumpetist in Switzerland. By the way, what's the brand and serial number of this special mouthpiece? Thank you in advance.
I believe the last time I heard this, he was playing on a C cornet. Flugel, IMO is a bit too dark. He did say that, "for today", he was "playing it on the C trumpet" so I'm assuming that's not the normal choice.

T Clark Beautiful song
Cosmic Dissonance yeah he attacks the second note and many others. It wouldn’t sound like a field horn without the attack, even though it’s soft and beautiful.
There is definitely a time and a place for attacking notes, just like there’s a time and place for delicate warm playing.
His sound is just 🥰😍
Mhm
This solo is, for me, one of the highlights of Mahler's Third. Beautifully played in quarantine or not. Thank You.

T Clark - Ironically, you sound like a helluva teacher yourself. I think great teachers are highly underrated.
It's a view still seen today sadly. I saw a pianist in youtube saying Mahler was "boring" and you should stick to Beethoven.

This is just spectacular. The trumpet sound is unbelievable to me. ❤️
Extraordinary tone. So pure. Great room acoustics - and he synchronizes his vibrato with the resonance of the room and his horn.
You make it sound so easy. Simply beautiful.
Bravo Chris! Simply beautiful!
Ohh, THIS is great, clear, full and freely singing also in the upper notes. Wonderful. Thanks

Wow...such a depth of emotion emanating from such a heart-opening sound. 💙
Thank you for playing this for us.
One of my favourite Mahler moments (there are many!) - such yearning nostalgia expressed in this beautiful solo
Gorgeous piece of music, beautifully played. Thank you, Christopher.
1:13 For this Lock down Concert we'll do it on the C trumpet, but we have a Mark Curry TF Mouthpiece which is a cross between a Flugelhorn & a Trumpet Mouthpiece.
Sumptuous sound, with clarity, fine intonation and just the right type of vibrato. 😀
Amazing, wonderful sound Chris!
Thank you so much. Gorgeously played. One of my favourite moments in all music. Has lifted my day tremendously.
You made my day, Chris. That top note. Mahler makes us wait for it, makes us earn it. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Thanks, Chris. Vincent DiMartino introduced this to me in college, probably around when you were born. Beautifully played.
Beautiful sound. Thank you!
Marvelous playing Chris! Thanks to NY Phil for uploading!
Great Job Chris.
And to top it all off you're wearing a Josh Landress t-shirt. Awesome product placement...
Astonishing sound. Bravo!!!

This was sublime or Devine. You are so very talented...thank you!
Fantastic excerpt! So hard to play this nicely on trumpet. Not even a hint of edge!
Beautiful sound! Hermosa interpretación! Excelente técnica!
Saludos y abrazos amigo.
Bravíssimo!👏🈷
Hey, pretty good job Chris!!! . Greetings from Bogota Colombia
Beautifully played, what mouthpiece is that? I think I want one!
I'd guess possibly a Curry 1HTF.
Great!

The Corno da Caccia is a Circular Flugelhorn.

Phil Smith (Chris's predecessor at NYP) liked it on C cornet. Either of them could make it sound beautiful on a garden hose though.
I have a posthorn (pfürst) with a JK posthorn mouthpiece. I can only play the notes of the natural harmonic series on it.
the man
Chris martin is one of the people who make me love what i do
It's basically a Circular Flugelhorn
Nice shirt!!
❤
👏👏👏👏👏
😢😍😍😍
Very beautiful sound! Congratulations from a trumpetist in Switzerland. By the way, what's the brand and serial number of this special mouthpiece? Thank you in advance.
It's a Curry trumpet/flugelhorn mouthpiece. I will have one for its mellow sound and it plays very well.
WOW. Amazingly played. You just talked me into buying a Curry 1.5TF.
Can anyone give a little more info on the Curry mouthpiece?
Posthorns are cute!
And this is a fantastic solo. Thank you, Mr. Martin.
holy cow.
awesome sound! Would sound well in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam................
Nicely done, but on a "C"?

@@zaknefain100 Phil Smith also liked to do it on a C cornet.
Eric Daniel Phil would be proud!
Bud used an antique Bb cornet
Not easy to play!
Sounds lovely
joe740544 Well, maybe not for you 🤭🤭🤭
@@abankse83 and that's on a trumpet player's ego
Who on earth dislikes this?? Trolls no doubt. Beautiful playing and it's notoriously hard
There are 23 'thumbs down.' How many of those do you think is David Bilger? I mean, they can't be serious, right?
Nice vibrato
