One of the best renditions of the telemann concerto that I've ever heard, excellent job!

[SiebenbuergerSxn]

Outstanding! A beautiful rendition of one of my favorite trumpet pieces on a recognizably difficult instrument!

[trumpetmax1]

Never heard such a fantastic version of the telemann concerto. simply amazing.

[TheJosephYip]

Very nice playing! I love it.

[czechwoody]

This is marvelous! You are so indescribably talented! This song was played by a great trumpet player for the seating of the mothers and grandmothers during my wedding almost 16 years ago! Still makes me get emotional

[kratanuva725]

It dosen't sound like you were just using notes from the overtone series, is there a way to change pitch (other than overtones) with a natural brass instrument?

[1401JSC]

Just loved the drum kit in the left hand corner. I was wondering when the drummer would chip in... :)

[AndyHirt]

Great job!!! The great thing about Nate is not just his courage to play such a finicky instrument live, but his balls to play on-the-spot embellishments. He trills all of his whole notes, adds embellishments, etc. He does this better than any valved trumpeter I've heard. You can whine that his alternate tonguing could be more distinct and he'd huff more (Friedemann Immer on Youtube-Brandenburgh #2), but who cares! He's my favourite trumpeter in the world today!

[eniotnasnyw]

Difficult instrument to play for sure.

[electronwizzy]

Super, that is why I am the Alphorn Blatzer(R) !

[robertmai64]

Der Mann spielt das blaue vom Himmel! Traumhaft!!!

[anisuthideyakoindu]

@robertmai64 ja, und wer streicht das jetzt wieder neu an, du?

[robertmai64]

@anisuthideyakoindu Das Blaue vom Himmel ist das schönste wenn man hochschaut. Natürlich auch ein paar Wölkchen die sind auch schön die lässt er ja oben. Notfalls streicht man halt ein bißchen nach. Deine Frage hat was! Schön! Grüße!

bene...very good!!

[jimraw1]

very nice tone but is he playing the concerto in D Major - sounds like he's on a lower key.

[composer333]

@jimraw1 Baroque tuning would make it closest to D flat .

[11235813211231853211]

@jimraw1 the baroque natural trumpet is tuned flatter than modern insturments at A440. i think they are at 414, or something like that so that's why it sounds like its in a strange key.

[f1l4P1n4s]

Baroque tuning varies - ensembles tuned against the fixed pitch instrument (usually playing continuo) such as the organ or harpsichord. In the case of organ pitch would vary from instrument to instrument. Eg, when the organ pipes required maintenance, the ends would be trimmed and filed thus raising the pitch a little. Tunings would also vary in temperament. The damn french standardized pitch at A=440Hz during classical period, around the same time they went on a harpsichord burning frenzy.

Bravo

[andreidavidcandrianu]

so beautiful and such a rich sound and clarity especially on the high notes.great recording of this piece...all the best from Romania

[simogaia92]

very good execution. sounrds just strange with organ instead of harpsicord.

[kotetsu131]

this mvt. is probably my favorite andante for trumpet EVER! So pretty and most people have no idea how brutal it is for the player. Really speaks to Nate's abilities.

[ksbav8r]

awesome playing.....

....it is pretty hilarious tho to hear the natural trumpet and see the roland v set in the background

[anisuthideyakoindu]

@ksbav8r be glad he isn't playing the candles behind him!

[DarkGadjika]

the best !!!

[harpsichordRB]

This concerto is demanding and Nathaniel plays excellent, the voice of his trumpet shines beautiful.

Congratulation!

Thank you for uploading.

This concerto's 1st movement is so touching!

It reminds me of my trumpeter-grandpa...

[zoneoff999]

indescribably beautiful...

[zorompeta]

Que bonito sonido!!! una pregunta maestro Mayfield: ¿CUANTAS TROMPETAS ANTIGUAS TIENE?, ¿SÓLO EN ÉSTA FORMA? ¿O TAMBIEN EN LA OTRA FORMA? ES DECIR CON LOS ORIFICIOS CERCA DE LA BOQUILLA? Saludos desde México.

[zander392]

i was at this very concert!!! i came from the north carolina school of the arts to hear this! it was so amazing!

[khardtmde1]

Nate is amazing. Is this from the concert for the Fredericksburg Music Club in Fredericksburg, Texas? I was there too.

[pfjefes]

Fantastic work! Makes me wanna go practise!

[fokjock]

Bravissimo!

[nickdrozdoff]

nate mayfield is the man

[HoustonTrumpet]

Nice! I heard Nathaniel Mayfield play live at a baroque trumpet recital in Houston about a year and a half ago (at Christ the King Lutheran Church, with fellow baroque trumpeter Niklas Eklund and the church's organist), and Mr. Mayfield played with incredible beauty and mastery. I had heard many of the world's great modern baroque trumpeters before him, but none of them ever made me as exited about the instrument as hearing Nate Mayfield play did.

[borgias2]

Wonderful!

Thanks.

[essenciademusica]

que bela melodia!

[Suchiibenchan]

Beautiful tone!

[trumpetdudeman07]

fantastic! 5 stars!

i got lost in your tone. Just the way i love baroque music

very well done!

[aelfricbetera]

Excellent playing--the older music is still well worth the listen; thank you for this..

[kville105125]

amazing :)

[Gyrfalcon89]

This guy is seriously good.
