Allen Vizzutti - Nine Black Riders - Lord of the Rings

[trumpetdude654]

They're alternate fingerings

[RacinZilla007]

Just wondering, I heard a few rumors, did he write this piece?? After the first LOTR in the 70's or something?? :P

[schutzstaffel14]

Damn It!!! I quit trumpet

[jdcochran0147]

Some people watch Jersey Shores and call it an activity... others team with their wives and tackle the most-difficult piece for trumpet+piano ever concocted. We are simply not worthy.

[sk8ty13]

No matter how difficult the peice is that he is playing, he looks like he could just fall asleep. Simply flawless.

1:11-1:21

Thats unbelievable. What a musician

[piotruspan245]

uwielbiam go



[pklemm4]

lord of the rings is awesome

[zrr91]

the alternate fingerings were too cool

[waltermferguson]

Why is no one turning pages for Allen?

[TheBassInferno]

@waltermferguson Allen Vizzutti is like Chuck Norris....Allen Vizzutti Doesn't turn the pages, the pages turn for Allen Vizzutti

[nathanost]

im pretty sure a mustache helps with less pressure. haha

[bigdrummerboy77]

he was amazing at music for all

my percussion ensemble and yelled BRAVO and he did an encore

[etenthony1991]

he held the last note for 10 seconds! that is ridiculous control

[cajunstix]

when i saw allen at BOA last week, i felf bad for the trumpet players in the audience. they all crawled up under their chairs and started crying.

[MrSilverTrumpet]

HA HA HA HA :)

[TermanatorWoW]

@cajunstix Thats how i felt after the Encore he did after Rising Sun

[cajunstix]

@TermanatorWoW At the bands of america confrence?

[TermanatorWoW]

@cajunstix Ya, it was simply amazing, it made my lips hurt just seeing him play

[crazydialga]

He's amazing. He just makes me want to play better

[SuperBabyStudios]

Sometimes just listening to great players makes my lips hurt...

[MrSilverTrumpet]

Your comment put a big smile on my face!

[402erd]

What a beast

[1996SaxMaster]

He completely took the creepiness of the Nine Riders from J.R.R. Tolkeins books, and made an excellent peice. I am pretty sure he wrote this peice in college. He and Laura pulled it off beautifully.

[boomchuckaboom]

Awesome

[MissHJxxx]

That flutter tonguing! His range and how he makes the music his own. He is an incredible musical genious!

[DrBones2]

I'd rather hear him on that Kanstul Flugel he's got on the stage there....

[MrSilverTrumpet]

I don't have access to this sheet music, you might ask him yourself on his facebook or myspace. His website is vizzutti dot com

[ThatTumpetGuy]

loving the use of micro-tones!!!! absolutely amazing! :D

[JimboJohnsy]

quarter tones in action. this has got to be one of the most difficult pieces for trumpet

[froman123456789123]

I would pay so much for that horn...

[nathanost]

they aren't alternate fingerings. he's lipping down

[darknipple]

@nathanost nope, he uses alternate fingerings, who else plays an F with 1 and 3?

[nathanost]

@darknipple o ok right I see what you're talking about

[antonio10901994]

his mustache is the one thats really playing

[awesomefrank1]

yo that blone kinda look like paris hilton lmao. vizzutti is a beast son

[MrSilverTrumpet]

yo that "blone" (blond or blonde not blone) happens to be his wife Laura.

[ShredTheGnarz]

@awesomefrank1 lol

[Guitarhero617]

So for the quarter tones, I'm assuming he's just lipping it down?

[BYUcougar410]

@Guitarhero617

hes using alternate fingerings. :)

[smick1152]

I have come to expect amazing from Allen, but this is also an amazing performance on the piano by his beautiful wife Laura. Is it leagal and fair to have that much talent in one home? 

[tboy44]

it sounds like there r quarter tones in the music am i right???

[sigmaclass]

@tboy44 Absolutely!

[ooporpooporp]

@tboy44 yes, you are right. it sounded really cool too

[PBaer35]

Hello,

great performance, great piece!

Does anybody now, whether the sheets are available or not?!

Thanks!

[RossBrass]

I saw Allen play this piece tonight - stunning!

[bugler0090]

Is he playing that from memory?? That is bad ass

[lesleycchao]

although i play a diffrent instrament and have never see lord of the rins, he is AMAZING!! my band director worships him :)

[coletaylorn]

you spelled "instrument" wrong.....

[anthonya13]

allen is awesome, but it seems like his sound is really blatty compared top his usual resonant and fluid sound that I love.... some of it here seems deliberately ronchy, but i like hisusual beautiful tone

[jazzbob]

spitze!

[madmailler]

quarter tones....woahhhhhhhh

[Whatisthescore]

the only guy that amazes me more is Maurice Andre

[neody14]

Difficult ......whoa..

[ChristianGraesslin93]
