Tomasi Trumpet Concerto

[Waterman202]

Ahh who needs a metronome anyways



[Y3110WP13]

Each year we have a youth concerto competition and the top 3 play their concerto with our orchestra in a concert. A nine year old played this with us. She is going places.

[Tptdude1]

Wow, this is very well done, but I do agree with the comment about the speed. You can easily play all the notes, but not in that tempo. The tempo is also really unstable, I'm surprised the conductor allowed for that... Nonetheless, great trumpet playing!

[Markinsky]

This really wonderful. Full of character. Thank you.

[gestrumpet]

awesome!

i can tell you really spent some time on the cup mute part!

[jasonf1379]

whatever that was amazing!

[stefibudva]

2 fast

[eoghdes18]

Trumpet player needs to move around less! It can only affect the sound!

[Gozaburo1]

have you seen Wynton Marsalis? @eoghdes18

[trumpettromba]

TRUMPET RULES!! hey you have good sound =)

[julimert]

ey que bonito de donde eres...??? soy colombiano y me parece muy bueno esa interpretacion

[lynxluver719]

I play trumpet and i wanna play like that someday!! TRUMPETS RULE CLARINETS SUCK

[michaelingeorgia]

There's some nice things here, and the soloist certainly has some chops on him, but too many notes are sacrificed for the sake of speed. Double-tongued notes are stylistically different from single-tongued notes, and faster than the rhythm dictates. And there's no chemistry at all with the orchestra, as if he isn't even aware of their existence. It all amounts to an unnecessarily sloppy performance that puts a desire to impress ahead of solid technique. A lot of this is just simple maturity.

[RLeadtpt1]

.... the soloist is definately a girl.... sorry to tell you

[gestrumpet]

I think it's a girl. She's the one in synergy? (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

[theflorianmanflorian]

stuartmack18 is stupid, maybe this recording isnt as good as the one you mean, but its really great playing gratz and my respect

[now5230]

really beautiful sound

[trumpetman67]

good job on a fiendishly difficult piece! I just recently bought this piece and i am working on it for a concerto competition. i will have to buy a C trumpet though... your technique is amazing , but you might want to try taking more expressive liberties, probably its just the orchestra rushing you on (silly violins...) Sergei Nakariakov has a really great recording of this piece, conducted by Jesus Lopez-Cobos. Very nice job on this.

[stuartmack18]

not as good as wynton marsalis

[johnnalddarko]

haha. duh. way to show her. jeez

[stuartmack18]

what type of mute is that?

[bbaker90]

the cup mute looks like a denis wick adjustable cup mute and the straight mute looks like a copper tom crown... i'm not exactly sure on either, but those are my guesses...

[stuartmack18]

k thanks

[tptking]

BRAVO! WTAMU Trumpets Rule!!!!

[robmassive]

Great job, a really hearty effort.

It's such a difficult piece to play - I'm still trying (and failing...)

So jazzy, so lyrical, I love it.

[glebvic]

This one of my favorite composers of all time. I'm a clarinet player, but I own a few different recording of this concerto. Tomasi never fails. His solo works are always incredible. Fantastic job.

[mogemoets]

Sweetie

i THINK Henri Tomasi composed a concerto for EVERY instrument in the orchestra-----

Any scoop on this guy...?

Tomasi is SO jazzy!

Martin

UNT 95'

[trumpetman67]

Henri Tomasi was a composer in the the early 20th cent. he composed for lots of instuments like concerti for clarinet, sax, trumpet, viola, horn, flute, trombone, bassoon, and violin and a particularly good choral work "requiem pour la paix" with some powerful brass intros and really great spine-tingling chords. he also wrote many ballets and operas. he liked writing for wind instruments and theatre. in regards to his "jazziness", in the cadenza of this piece one tempo is "tempo di blues"!

[fistertrumpet]

nice!

[nwalker823]

NICE!

[releasethefrogs]

I love this piece. Very nice job!

[cccustommusic]

This piece is soooo hard. i remember doing this in college. I think it is one of the most deceivingly difficult trumpet solos in the standard literature. Great job Raquel I am very impressed.

[ooo6]

I have fond memories of that orchestra. Those were the days. I miss old Brusilow. You sound great!

[professordoctortrump]

you are a god, to play trumpet, can you send the notes to me, plaese.

[twiblets]

what is the first mute used?

great playing btw!

[thisgoestoeleven]

wow, i wish i had that kind of legit sound

[twiblets]

what is the first mute used?

[RaquelRod]

I used a denis wick adjustable cup mute.

[Elliot84]

I like the jo ral cup more then the dennis wick. although the dennis wick straight is fabulous

[tko333]

aww oh well i like wynton :) and i have his recording, ive never heard maurice andre play it. ill try to find it thx

[shophar]

Maurice sounds fantastic on all the French concertos.

His attacks are always clean and clear in all the range of the horn.

[zuantuba]

Beside her sound, her musical idea is also very clear.isn't it?

[tko333]

praise :)

[ajyoung005]

that's too bad -- she played the hell out of that piece, i wouldn't lower her by saying she sounds like wynton. find the Maurice Andre recording

[tko333]

damn sounded like wynton marsalis

[ajyoung005]

'sounded like wynton' ... insult or praise?

[admiralbaty]

a woman? playing trumpet??? bah!

seriously, though. fantastic playing. i'm amazed at your intonation with the various mutes. congrats on getting to play it with an actual orchestra. very casual and elegant. absolutely wonderful.

[doctortrumpet]

buena gorda! esta de la conchasumadre

[micksamick]

I "love" the negative comments-no trumpet player can ever resist the urge to knock another trumpet player.

Great playing, amazing sound. I'd give several critical body parts to play like that. Congrats Raquel!

[silvuhgurl]

Would it not make sense to want feedback on a performance like this? The ability to have to nation see you play and give helpful advice?

Free Lessons Ftw.

[leeindahouse2]

It is a woman???:O:O

[1337evan]

wow... that is amazing sound!!! Bravo...

[mattrmpt]

It's UNT...nothing shocking about being in tune. But I would like to compliment you once again after a few months I've come back to this and it's still awesome.

[KurtNilsen]

very in tune group of strings.... *shocked*

[trumpetcarguy]

Very nice job on an extremely difficult piece.

[Jazztrumpet2]

Sounds great. Possibly look into a more bouncing, and light feeling in the early section (after the muted part). I believe that that will soften the double-tounging into good music. Also look into the use of your vibrato and experiment if some notes should be exempt from the use of vibrato. Wonderful playing. I love the ending to the Tomasi sooooo much!

[andantea09]

Great playing, would have sounded marvelous if you would have slowed it down a tad, you're true tone beauty would have really peaked through! Great playing

[RaquelRod]

you noticed! He's actually incredible, Anshel Brusilow, former concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra.

[mattrmpt]

That is very impressive. One of my favorite songs of all time, you played it marvelously.
