Purcell - Sonata for Trumpet

[stephanosanio]

One or two cracks in the beginning? What about the rest of the performance? Just simply amazing. My full respect to the Canadian Brass players.

[piccolomaster]

Excellent performance. Beautiful sound and musicality. Who cares about a few "chips" and "cracks" in their playing. Remember they play a very heavy schedule touring all over the world. Not easy. Remember that they are human not machines.

Bravo Canadian Brass!!!

[luqmanhakimMLHBB]

they look alike! D:

[JeppieB1]

Brings back memories... wonderful.

[shariotoflove]

eugh...where are the period instruments guys?

[QUOZO86]

Very nice. This is excellent music. Keep in mind this is a live performance and not a doctored up studio recording with sound engineers. Anyone that can play the piccolo trumpet or a "D" trumpet well can fully apprciate this performance. The player on the right is Jens Lindemann, who is one of the finest trumpet players in the world today. Before you judge, try playing half the stuff these guys play and you will find you are not a worthy judge at all.

[Sichr27]

Oh... It sounds good...

please, watch one of my videos... I play there this piece on picollo trumpet too...

But with string orchestra...

And tell me please what do U think about it.

Thanks all...

[carlobec]

bravi...



[VI1988TU]

the trumpets are fantastic!!

[MrGoldentrumpet92]

of course can´t an instrument sound good if the player is terrible! but with american trumpets you can´t reach the sound like you can on german trumpets!

[MrGoldentrumpet92]

that are german trumpets, this trumpets are just built in germany, switzerland and austria I think and in my opinion the sound of this instruments is the greatest of the world!

[SenatorSparkman]

Since they're made in Germany, there better? They probably make the world of difference, however, it's the performer, not the instrument.

[SenatorSparkman]

Does anyone know what kind of Trumpet their using?

[yegresa]

@SenatorSparkman I'm pretty sure that they use Yamaha instruments. I don't know exact models, though.

[Strav9]

i guess those are trumpets with rotary valves

[SenatorSparkman]

Hmm, odd

[trumpetXguyXdavid]

@SenatorSparkman All of the canadian brass musicians are Yamaha Performing Artists

[trumpetermonkey]

bravissimo

[classiccandle27]

The tone of the trumpets are very colorful and glorious. Way to go trumpetists

!

[yralm07]

Bravo Bravo!!!!

[slaboseam]

tremendo

[animanatural]

excellent!

[gamanorman]

se parece a cantiflas

[aracy54]

¡ que bien suenan los instrumentos de viento¡

[veijeiro]

this is canadian brass

[pickofdestiny1234]

Welldone chaps. Those German rotary valve trumpets are a right pain in the backside to play. I play baroque trumpet in an Austrian Orchestra and its great to hear quintets that are in time and in tume! You guys are inspirational

[O15azero]

impressionante...muito bem executado

[kahl22]

for anyone that is criticizing the canadian brass for a few cracks here and there, please remember that this was most likely in the middle of a strenuous concert, I am a university trumpet performance major, and since you do not know what they played before this piece in the concert, you are in no position to judge their performance.

[jeromes1913]

@kahl22 : you're absolutely right ;), and that's so an evidence they played a lot before, cause they really are like world known trumpeters but i think it's really interresting to hear them play like that ( with that kinda unclear sound, lot of wind and all that...) when you know them and know they're way better than what we hear here. :P

[shariotoflove]

@kahl22 firstly, were all allowed to have opinions, and secondly in an industry where you have so many great performers and ensembles one cant help but get irritated by some irregularities. Youtube will always house positive ans well as negative comments, youve had a good 5 years or so to come to terms with that, so if you havent already i would get a move on with that if i were you.

[kofiduah]

two awesome professional players!damn..i wanna be like jens lindemann when i grow up yo!

[theMEGAPOPE]

They look like complete fruits.

[decimaquinta69]

Eccellente

[Trumpet20]

The best Brass group in the work. Phenominal playing of a very difficult piece.

[fokjock]

Purcell,at times deep, dark, enigmatic-beutiful!

[sandcrab132]

oil your god damned valves.

[SambaDisaWinner]

on this occasion its not actually valves but its a keyed trumpet. And im pretty sure they did, It just sounds like ad ifficult piece.

[JosephMesh]

The very small errors you heard are called "cacks". They are something that every single brass player in the world experiences. This ensemble (Canadian Brass) is world renowned. They are absolutely phenomenal. Take it from me, a university brass student, the Purcell Sonata for Trumpet is a very difficult piece. They played it phenomenally, and you need to consider how challenging a work is before you direct a very ignorant post towards such phenomenal professionals.

[sandcrab132]

So you know, i'm a university trumpet player, too.

[JosephMesh]

So then you know that:

a. This is a very challenging piece.

b. Everybody cacks.

I'm not trying to be negative towards you, but you should keep in mind that these gentlemen are professionals and are very talented. I can assure you (having met the one who cacked more: Jens Lindemann) that they would not forget to oil their valves. They just messed up a little. We all do.

[84Zacknafein84]

If you can't play this piece well with a normal trumpet, then use a piccolo, like ALL the trumpet players, and don't try to act like a super-hero.

It has no sense, I know they are wonderful players, many times better than me, but FOR THIS I can't understand these errors...a professional player can't do "valutation errors" like this.

Sorry for my bad english, but I am not english :P

[RagnarXII]

Well, I have purchased several of their CDs and I have heard many of their recordings they are a tremendous group, and you must realize that this is a live performance. I would recommend thinking before posting. The overall quality and tone of the piece was not diminished by a few mistakes here and there. People are human.

[bagnewauckland]

You do realise that playing a Piccolo trumpet does not make it any easier to play higher? It just makes it easier to differentiate between high notes.

[84Zacknafein84]

I am a trumpet player, please don't try to teach me the difference between a Bb trumpet and a Bb piccolo...

The trumpet is an instrument, the piccolo is another instrument...if you want to play it good, you can't play it like it's a normal trumpet.

And if you want to play really AGILE on high notes, it's VERY simplier with the piccolo, and some pieces are impossible with the normal trumpet...if you want to show me that I am wrong you can post a video where you play.

Or, better, stop writing :)

[mossydie]

This is precisely what 84Zacknafein84 says - that one can be more agile on a piccolo trumpet, i.e. can differentiate between high notes more easily. He does not say that it is easier to play higher.

However, this does not detract from it being a great piece musically and skilfully played.

[ClarinetTia]

wOw..that's great!!!!

[aelfricbetera]

compositional genius at work; do not disturb... thank you hank...

[aelfricbetera]

great playing. good to hear that 300 hundred year old brass music is still drawing a crowd.

[Eomer236]

got a 9.5 on this solo at district, 10.5 at state in ISSMA Solo&Ensemble. 0.5points from a perfect score

[jojomusic69]

Black Tuba??? HAH

[BrassPlayer4Life]

matalic i thing.

[damcosic]

hihi huhu hehe hAHA

[dungman101]

how about.............no.

[peeeves]

are these the real Canadian brass?

[audie83]

Purcell composed some of the greatest Trumpet passes EVER imo. :)

[DanteFerrara]

For Henry Purcell as he's rarely heard visit Dante Ferrara here on YouTube. Enjoy!

[pkingsleyisback]

I've only gotten to play on a rotary trumpet once, good German engineering... Well this one was, I don't know much about where the rotary got started... or even the pistons...

[LarixusSnydes]

Great style to play this piece, such a shame that the sound quality is not a little better.

I also like Purcell. It's so nice to play sonata's but quite hard to keep the proper beat.

Miss one and you're lost ;-) I've been playing the trumpet for 20 years, but I have to postpone it right now, because of my buisy life combining University with a job...Such a pity really.

[TrompetAppie]

hehe nice music

[atomicpelly]

where was the trill on the top G towards the middle of the first movement? lol tut tut!

[atomicmrpelly]

And that ending is ridiculously cheesy and overblown!

(sorry it was well played!)

[DrKorn5]

Yeah apparently u are not familiar with Baroque music...

[DrKorn5]

Yeah apparently u are not familiar with Baroque music...

[andriesu]

Purcel- in romanian sounds funny-means piggy

[palehorn]

it means piggy in English too

[BigBoyDarrell]

kool... im playing this piece in march for my recital piece

[jeromes1913]

you don't the 2nd to say something like that!  The 2nd is Jens lindemann!!!

[cocomike1986]

The 1st trumpet is better than 2ND trumpet

[atomicmrpelly]

I'm not so sure, just because he made one mistake in the first movement? He displays excellent control in the second movement.

[atomicmrpelly]

why was this marked as spam?

[Keydsantos]

just teriffic

[djocelot]

It is great to see Ryan Anthony doing so well, he has always been a good showman and a gentleman! I remember performing the 2nd Brandenburg, field shows, concert and marching band way back ..... 87' MMH Alumni Cello/T-bone

LOVE YOUR SITE

[luis9691]

That's was the same sonata I prepared for the conservatory (trumpet). Nicely done!

[grandplans]

Beautiful

[TouchOfBrass]

I'm from austria, where mainly rotary trumpets are used, but not because easyer to play fast parts. (just look at "green hornet" - that's played on a perinet)

They are used because of their special sound. and of course there are differences in the way of playing rotary/perinet.

[bagnewauckland]

I assume you mean Mnozil's Green Hornet? If so, he is playing on a rotary, it's just got vertical rotary valves.

[mjuniversal]

why are they using rotary trumpets? just preference?

[barteklala]

It's easier to play rotary in fast parts.

[Cecillet]

Hey, Ryan is cool. We played together in Jerusalem. He is the BEST trumpet player I have ever heard.

[dorisboy52]

Purcell is alles magic...The C.B. do him proud...Woo-yays

[fistertrumpet]

5/5

[khargushoghli]

This takes me to my happy place.

Thank you Purcell!

[kammiewilson51]

Oh, me, too. My father used to play Purcell recordings when I was a little girl! Sure wish I knew the titles of the pieces. I'll know the music when I hear it.

[WindTunnelMiroku]

interesting

[41d8g]

like the tubas carbon fiber bell...

GRAN COMPOSITOR

[canariolp69]

bravoooo¡¡excepcional sonata de un compositor que me fascina como es purcell...muy bien,estupendo el grupo y el solista jens lindemann.

[MusicMan20061210]

I don't see a single trumpet...only cornets

[genbrugsbutik]

Are you goddamn stupid??? OMG....

[Cleansan]

Those are rotary trumpets. The valves work like French horn valves instead of the "usual" American piston-style.

[MusicMan20061210]

You're right,Cleansan....didn't realise that at 1st,thanks :-)

[classicalist]

Jens Lindemann - Best trumpet player on the planet.

Brilliant!

Lets have more.

John

[ireburg]

WoW! very nice sound. the rotary valve trumpet is new to me and I love it.

[tubelogin1]

penny lane.... pa pa pa pa pa... bastard mccarthy ripped it all off, didn't he? I like Purcell's procession. That one floors me.

[Gasbrass37]

isnt it written for 1 trumpet?

[littlephoenix1115]

yea.. but the canadian brass did thier thing to it... pretty sweet

[valvetrom]

I love to hear and see rotary valve trumpets, But why are the Guys moving like they have been watching too much TV. Beautiful Music

[bowlerdude]

I just saw these guys today at the Cerritos Center. What a wonderful show they put on. I didn't have high expectations about the new guys, but boy was I wrong.

[blasticore]

Over 1500 views and no comments? Crazy!

You always post great videos of stuff I'd otherwise never get to see. Keep it up. =)

One small correction, though: they're playing it in C (as opposed to D) for some reason.

[Elliot84]

he's gotta be a trumpet player:P
