Allen Vizzutti - Carnival of Venice

[crazygrainger2006]

My university brass ensemble (Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts) just had a concert with Allen, and that first cadenza in the Carnival of Venice always gets me weak at the knees. Even better, I have another concert with him in Bunbury (Western Australia) this Sunday. He's now my favourite Yank/Trumpet player.

[xhackmasterx]

Allen demonstrated this for us during the band festival at University of Washington. It was pretty cool

[ProKzaine]

in my opinion, the canadian brass (fredrick mills trumpet feature) is better, but allen has him at a lot of other points in playing as well

[Abe27342]

Both the beginning and the part at 4:50 are around 14 notes per second... I actually laughed at how ridiculously insane that is. xDDD

[bballash1995]

You're exaggerating when you say per second. Lol

[canivalforever]

best in the world

[CptnKirk94]

Wow, I saw him in person many years ago and heard him, but I never saw him do the end part upside down. He must have got bored with super C's.

[Kittycanplaypiano]

i have had the wonderful opportunity to hear this played in person, and it was so amazing that i both laughed and cried at the same time!

[bonchickawowwowo]

HOLY F***

[eltrompeta333]

Hostia puta... when he reaches the top C...

[carnage89]

I've never heard this version before, I like it. I'm learning it straight from the Arbans book.

[StephTheDoofus]

my high school band is playing this. i am SO glad im not trumpet lol

[crsereda]

Why would you not want to be trumpet? This is one of the best songs ever written to solo in.

[DPCerberusBlaze]

Probably because it's so intimidating. I just started reading the Arbans version and... wow

[tyler2484]

Lol...Look at Arbans compared to Allens other, harder version of Carnival. Literally called Carnival Of Venus.

Arbans is so...it's like happy birthday compared to Allens version lol.

[benteague1]

Well, the best known arrangement is in the Arban Cornet Method, so you're not wrong there :P

[wewhin]

hi can any body knows what site can i grab the music sheet of carnaval devenecia in "FREE"? hehehe

[RangerLovingLonghorn]

he makes me feel like i should never pick up a trumpet again, haha

[keric5]

[czechmate17]

dooby

[lfkrone]

Allen Vizzutti is amazing !!!!

[dooby543yahoo]

allen vizzutti sucks. he has bad tone and bad control with notes in high register. he is also a homosexual.

[Garbitch]

haaaahahahaha... go find yourself some musical knowledge!

[ewanq0h]

what the hell is this captured pirate

[feb29229]

why do his high notes sound like they're lacking air support?

[freshhh1994]

stfu noob

[steevojackass]

HAHAHA ur funny

[ThatCubeGuy]

it's because they're so high YOUR ears have trouble hearing them

[ryanzawesome65]

it's not fair

vizzutti is too good

btw the audio and visual are a bit off but its hard to notice cuz most ppl will be absorbed into to listening to Vizzutti's greatness

[pbholden]

He's so effin good!

[davidblake93]

he came to my school-mcnary

[sebbell]

arban wrote the real carnival of venice

[VarOS86]

UM NO M GUSTO :s

[mcnaire2004]

Don't forget to site the composer Giovanni Bottesini. Del Staigers was the arranger. Bottesini wrote the Opera, and wrote a variation of it for the Double Bass (standup) his instrument. One of the greatest bassist of all time. Good to give credit where credit is due.

[pedroesteban86]

Thanks for the info, I've been trying to find out who really wrote the Carnival of Venice.

[horn1palmer]

I wrote it!

I also invented the wheel, fire, time, and the concept of zero, as well as morality, religion, government, love, and forensic science.

I did all this between teaching music lessons!!!

[jakavovk]

hahaha

[cerealrulz]

lol

[spikaz003]

wow...amazing

[excalibur1812]

I had a wonderful conversation with him at the intermission of one of these concerts.

He's also a terrific entertainer. At one point, he was playing trumpet with 1 hand, then switched hands while playing and NEVER missed a note or beat.Then there was the part where he turned his trumpet upside-down during this performance. Definitely one of the highlights of my player career playing with him!

Frank Allbright

Principal Oboist

Temple Symphony

[excalibur1812]

I play principal oboe with the TSO. This was the second time we've had Vizzutti as guest soloist. Not only is he one of the greatest trumpet players on earth, but he's also one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet.

[Yourfothersmom]

i was at his consert today in hayvill ks he is the best of the best

[Liptrillin23]

that was amazing in my opinion better than Wynton Marsalis's version

[Hauni8x8]

but i like it

[Hauni8x8]

which version is it ?

in my arban its another version

[hankyeulyang]

Del Staiger's version with bits added by Vizzutti.

[lHaveNoIdea]

It's the Herbert L. Clarke version.

[awsmsean]

del staigers big guy

[vVASuP]

i just met this guy today at the morris jazz festival in minnesota. i was lead trumpet on a jazz band he was judging, and he came up and asked me to play this and that for him like g, a flat concert and try to immitate him on certain parts. he is fucking amazing.

[PlanoSarah]

WOW

Listening to that as another brass player, hurts my lips. :) But he does an amazing job.

[trumpettrader]

I enjoyed your video of this. It would have been great if you had zoomed in once in a while, especially the upside down part. Closeups are nice. I am the opposite and tend to overuse the zoom.

[pedroesteban86]

I would have zoomed in, but i was using my sony point and shoot and once you start recording it doesnt let you zoom in. I also would have zoomed in to start off but i didn't want the whole thing to be shaky.

[hermaniche]

Pedro Esteban, where was this performance?

[pedroesteban86]

in Temple Texas, if i know i usually put the locations in my video descriptions. Thanks for subscribing!

[hermaniche]

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. When I was young I used to play the fife in a drum, fife and bugle corps, and that was the "graduation piece". Again, muchisimas gracias. Herman Ruiz

[menacingmike]

wow..!

[Dmmac]

Nice Sounding Audio on this recording!

[andiroo]

You really have to see it live in person to realize how much the sound on this recording doesn't match up to that during the performance.

[cox470]

absolutely true!
