Watched this live prior to the start of the Trombone Workshop. Set the tone for the entire week: preserve the beauty of sound, expression, and clarity of the lines.
Congratulation on your choice of repertoire! More trombonists need to step away from second-rate trombone tropes! You can never be better than the message you are engaged in conveying. That being said, this is very Wagnerian Schubert. I wish orchestral trombonists weren't so persistently...'orchestral' in their conception and performance. Everything lacks the soloists...intimacy. Its okay to play quietly, and to inflect one's tone with nuance and color. Trombone especially is sufficiently loud that it can afford to tone things down in expression of something... fragile, to more reliably cause...music. A smaller horn an mouthpiece would get you their sooner. To those of you who are classical trombonists, and who came here to audition classical music suitable for trombone recitals that actually has a pedigree to accompany a real melody (as performed in this case by a talented performer. Bravo!), then consider the collection of songs presented in the vocal recitals I've attached here by the great Ian Partridge (in addition to the song cycles of Schubert and Schumann [and Schumann's Drei Fantsiestucke Op. 73 and Drei Romances Op. 94 for clarinet] which he has also recorded brilliantly and in a very trombone like invocation) as a starting point. If you want to populate you recitals with additional non-trombonists (who stay away to avoid the questionable programs) while developing a greater sense of the potential of the bone's musical timbre, don't listen to trombonists (otherwise you'll end up playing and sounding like them)...listen to actual lyric tenors with taste (rare as they are), sensitivity and power. Ian Partridge is the best of them and their are several videos on TH-cam to service your ambition that propose hundreds of recital options. He also seems to have his own TH-cam channel with several actual videos of him performing. Good luck! th-cam.com/video/jWG69SnIs0g/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/play/PLi5e-m6W4xj_-62aZLe0YZqSnZtUx57Me.html th-cam.com/video/4AUlXiNSdi0/w-d-xo.html
One of the finest examples of pure trombone sound in the world right here Mr Mulcahy

I prefer this TROMBONE version to the voice one.
The smile on the page turner's face during the third movement =P
Nice. I also play the trombone but a different style to you. You have a very powerful and emotional way of playing in this piece.
Inspiration😊😊😊❤️
