[Pippilas1993]

please don't make dislike to this video!!!!

@Pippilas1993 you know what, i will.

I'm playing this for my college senior recital. The first movement still needs a little work, (mostly the high f) but is coming along really well.The third movement on the other hand.... YIKES it's a beast. I do wish there was a video or recording of someone else playing this. I mean, I love Alessi's playing (it's even better live), but it's always nice to hear a few different interpretations in addition to your own.

[thatsright93]

I saw the music to this today, and it doesn't look possible. But of course, Alessi plays it flawlessly.

[yadidameng]

i miss playing... this reminds me of my friend, he's so good at tbone. he plays so beautifully, i loooove his solos

[uganickb32]

so i bought this piece with piano accompaniment and was looking for a recording of this with piano and then realized that there isnt one...cause this freak is the only man alive that can play it :P

[lordofdastrings76]

and on a 1G none the less! or atleast thats what ive heard.

[uganickb32]

@lordofdastrings76 its a Greg Balck Alessi 1G, which is closer to a Bach 2.5G

[JubbaDaTrombone]

This is amazing. Perhaps it's just me, but I feel that this style of music that Ewazen presents is more fitting for bass trombone. This reminds me a lot of his Bass Trombone Concerto.

Again, it's probably just my preference.

3:56

the two trombone players in the back ground liked that peddle note

[rgjanssen08]

he sounds like a master trombone player, christian lindberg is phenomenal but he sacrifices the trombone sound for a more euphonium-like timbre, which he played throughout his youth. it's a shame but this guy knows what it means to play TROMBONE and give it a trombone quality.

[goldenterror]

I ordered this song, it's pretty tough.

It actually goes into treble clef for a couple bars.

[lordofdastrings76]

where did you get it from? i cant seem to find it anywhere.

[goldenterror]

JW Pepper carries it.

I'm sure some other sites have it, but it'll probably be $25 on all of them.

[carlostrbn]

Eric Ewazen, a great composer .... I had the pleasure of playing the Grand Canyon, one masterpiece ... And Alessi, a Master of Masters....

[DistortedDingo]

was this in a movie?

[lordofdastrings76]

it sure sounds like it should, but im pretty sure it wasnt.

[Johninsactown]

Are there any recordings of Vision of Light?

[Aaron741963]

Yes... There is a cd of the same name published by the Columbia University Wind Ensemble with Joe Alessi also performing the solo.

[sonoprimotenore]

Actually it's Columbus State University, and the album is called simply Visions. It includes works for solo trombone and band by Appermont, J. David, Rumbelow (the conductor), and this one.

et moi vive alessi

[phatcorns]

You know whats crazy? I am playing the vibe player in this video. And that alessi dude was amazing. Made the trombone sound like a different instrument.

[crwv]

I cant help but notice the third chair trombone...

How many times was that bell heat treated?

[gjbassbone]

it's just an unlaquered bell, one that is very tarnished

[softlineethics]

Gotta love his eyebrows.

[eddimull]

you got Alessi to perform with you guys?? damn.... lol
