sergey nakariakov

[krishna1415]

The best performance I have heard! Makes it look so effortless.

[G01d3nGr4mZz29]

One word.....Beast

[MrJasonharrelson]

Beautiful, virtuosic and maybe rushed at the ends of phrases in my opinion, but I love his playing! The fifth variation is a very fine example of making a very difficult piece of music sound incredibly easy. Thank you once again Sergei!

Jason

[MrRileyblues]

I guess these critics are much better players!

[foreverfalling15]

His posture kills me!

[3d1n1]

RESPECT!!!!



[kilgoretrout086]

3 people don't know anything about playing trumpet. Or about music. Or about anything really.

[TheChaseair]

That boy love to play

[chavelitaworld]

how old was he in this performance anybody?

[seemagics]

@james9533 i would recommend you to delete the videos you have before putting such comments like that. You are just proving your idiocy.

[James9533]

I don't care how good he is, playing straight down is fucking retarded.

[ihopethisnamefit]

@James9533 he was in a car wreck and injured his back/neck and therefore has to play downward like that. don't be hatin. he does what he wants.

[adequinzio1]

@James9533 He also said that his playing style feels more natural and that he maximizes his airflow in this manner. Although, I have to admit - I would never play like that.

[jrvanderveen]

@James9533 u are an idiot

[freshhh1994]

@James9533

Seriously? He's fucking Nakariakov. He can play however the fuck he wants.

Fuck off

[tvjust]

how old was he when he played this?

[sulex96]

Sergei az egyik kedvencem. Sokat hallgatom. Ő egy mester.

[zuazema]

@AWiddit what?

[rjbakbor]

@AWiddit Is this a horrible way to be funny or what?

[SUPERasianNINJAsquad]

@AWiddit dude, hes not dead, i don't know where your getting this from, but your stupid for believing it

[busmar271]

БРАВО БРАВИССИМО СЕРГЕЙ !!! ЖДЕМ НОВЫХ ЧУДЕС !!!

[skeletonkeys2010]

I don't want to stop listening :) I've hit the replay button 6 times already XD I wish I could be that good

[xRinat]

If you haven't noticed, one of the horns are playing too loud!

[Bolorinvasore]

@xRinat and too bad xD

[todaystomsawyer]

@xRinat

I would not have noticed if you hadn't pointed this out. xD

[SMFCPA]

Should have played it on cornet, the way it was intended to be played.

[nocanpau]

maybe the valve got stuck?

[OhnoSatoshilove787]

スゴーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーい！

[DrTrumpet2010]

I can't help but laugh at 4:27

[JoseFerreira]

Marsallis is better

[klat1674]

@JoseFerreira that's your opinion and the fact is that both are extraordinary players. When you become successful at a anything, you learn to appreciate and respect what others have to offer, so respect Sergei's work.

[NLKelsey]

sounds better when played on the cornet

[heringHH]

He is one of the greatest. But why does he point his trumpet always to the bottom ??

Look to the people, Sergei

[DifferentLikeYou]

@heringHH perhaps he is focused...

people can be greatly focused when they stare at nowhere...

[13WillSullivan]

@heringHH he has postural problems to do with his neck and back, that could be why

[methodofme]

Very nice! Amazing playing

[talipification]

Лучший трубач всего мира!!!!!!

[boraktong2010]

some strikes are inaccurate...

[krempel80]

@boraktong2010 your mama is inaccurate -.- ever tried this? at this speed?

[SUPERasianNINJAsquad]

@boraktong2010 i think cause hes rushing the song

[noah112234]

sir gay

[23chipy]

q bueno

[thetrumpetplayer3101]

@gessed I'm sure it's just him playing both parts, but it sounds amazing, though!

[Johnners11281]

Absolute mastery of the instrument. Wonderful to see.

[trmptplyr100]

Arban himself could not have played this well!

[xmetbass]

@trmptplyr100 As a trumpet player (artist) I find your comment funny.

[trmptplyr100]

@rbg518 I double checked and indeed, Arban played both trumpet and cornet.

[popnlocker77]

what a tone

[mattyzdog]

Has anybody wondered why he always plays with his head down?...well whatever he's doing its ok cause he's amazing!!

[robinson1194]

I think he was in a car accident that messed up his spine so much that he couldn't play piano (his first instrument) for extended periods of time, since you have to sit down.

[ihopethisnamefit]

yea, he was in some accident and had a spinal injury. so now he has to play down like that because of it.

[mikeyrose94]

he would be better suited to tuba or euph or tenor horn with his condition.

[josephxerritrumpet]

can this one compete with WYNTON MARSALIS??

[exhifreq]

I believe that classical is his only "feel"

[vitorio846]

@exhifreq what is you ;FEEL ""

[gessed]

@josephxerritrumpet .The problem with classic music is .Its tone and tech,of course your have to have the tech.Both of these player have it. It would be very difficult to say who is playing if they were hidden.

[menutiatrumpet]

lol french horns

[bebemoloci]

0:16

[bebemoloci]

4:29

[MCRoubel]

bravo! bravo! :D

great musician

[marcomakmarco]

bravo

[bthrun90]

What happened to the video of him playing this in much better quality? I've been trying to find it for like 30 minutes. Don't tell me youtube deleted it =(

[janquen]

Brilliant. The reason I love this man's playing is that of all the trumpeters who have wonderful technique these days, this guy plays with great musicality. It sounds like music, not just a show-off piece. And he plays it like a trumpet, not like a cornet. A live performance so you can forgive the odd fluff. Thanks for posting.

[misspaws5]

what a complete legend!!!!!!!!!

[karstenfrisk]

Just had the opportunity to wach a concert in Aarhus (Denmar). Nakariakov was absolutely outstanding..!

[anze190]

4:29..

[freshhh1994]

to all those that thumbed me down, I was talking to anze190

[Gozaburo1]

Although he is one of the most talented trumpet players in the world, he is human. Don't forget that.

[0XxDonVitoxX0]

auch profies können feler machen !

[sasariello0000]

great tecnic

[harrygigileo]

Truly incredible, my favorite

[kicsiLea]

wow...

[coratz]

He is an acrobat. No on more in command of techniquie

[AlphaBravoCharlii]

dear god that's amazing!!

[RandumDude22]

Teach me!

[NoNiIttO]

eres bn fregon la verdad ..bueno un saludo biie

[arvenwoosley]

holy cow! how does he tongue that fast?

[SGFVampwulf]

either he's just got a lightning fast tounge, or he's doubletounging so cleanly that you cant tell.

[xTRUMPETBOYx]

awsome song he plays greate cool

[gortiz1989]

ooh la la, I like his ending. And yeah, no performance is perfect! Though, I do agree that you're not trying to sound arrogant. and what's with the thumbs down for liking Wynton's version better? Just opinions!

[VivaLaTrumpet]

Jeez, I'm not saing I'm better than this guy, not in a lightyear, lulz! I can barely play this song but I like wynton's playing of this song better.

[persony5]

Remember this...

At almost ALL live performances, there is always at least one mistake.

[vonhelshnic]

did he miss a note at 4:30??? not somthing you do at this level is it?

[ClayPeopleBroadcast]

at 2:44 too

[d1galan]

i didnt hear yours...

[tormentedmusician23]

so what?

[d1galan]

oh well

[jonnywoodboy]

untill u can play better, i advise u to shut the fuck up! cause i know he's 100 times better then u

[vonhelshnic]

lol, seriously m8??? u tryin to compare to a master, if i was that good i wouldnt be posting comments on here man, but look at some of the great interpretations of this piece and not one has a split note, for example the wynton recording, on even the john clough recording with dyke, i advise u listen to their recordings at tell me to have a look and point out a point where they split a note, id like to make a bet on that

[vonhelshnic]

seems abit unfair to judge me for pointing out a mistake is it, i was just stating there was one, if you could find a mistake in a performace of this by Wynton on John Clough with Blake Dyke, do let me no, because i think youd be hard pushed to find a mistake quite so prominent, thats all, i wasnt putting his musicality into question, but juxtaposed with some instrumentalists this is slightly lapsing in the same quality, thats my point in its entirety

[jonnywoodboy]

oh... well i missed the entire point

my bad

[pchantreau]

BS. This is a live performance, not a recording. Of course, if you listen to recordings, they will be flawless, but how many interprets are going to play that piece live at the right tempo totally flawlessly every time from beginning to end? Not one.

[charvinaldo]

he has an iteresting interperetation but very good, definately one of the best, and he's one of the best trumpet players ever. However, Winton's version of this songs is the best ever. .........but Sergei's moto perpetuo shows his real skill!

[trumpetdude510]

@charvinaldo there are many different interpretations of every song that is out there and no single interpretation is the "best" its all about the listener's perspective. As one might say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

[freshhh1994]

lol the last note sounds like mendez

[roninhops]

que fera esse cara é!!!

[Stoclet]

Lovely !

Marsalis and Nakariakov are different men and, as so, will play differently and beautifully, each one in his style and spirit.

[iwanasexu]

haII keanu reeves' cousin BAHAHA MAN SERGEI IS MAii GOD I WORSHIP THIS GUY SO GOOD

[izpuuteejs]

those of you who have played this piece will agree-it is not hardest piece in the world...it is an etude in e flat and excellent first finger technique...

[Gatistrumpet]

nu tad nospeelee taadu etiidi :D

[izpuuteejs]

Tu labak par mani zini ka neka diza tur nav, bet atrums ir svarigs :)

[Gatistrumpet]

nav jau svariigi,ko speelee,bet kaa :),..paklausies sho vidjiku veelreiz :)

[izpuuteejs]

Nevar nepiekrist,tik labi man pasam nezinu kad sanaks.. Bet piem. Karmenas Fantazija ko Tu speleji ir muzikas zina daudz interesantaka!

[astyle1992]

this is "just" a part of the history of the music...!;)

[willdone900]

in the start the french horn sounds like an elephant givn birth

[dreddastaipas]

ele é bom... pode vir a superar o maurice andré

[bennybondea]

He's very good...awesome!!

[josephmotter]

I like the french horn screw up at the begining!

hahahhaha

[t47l22c31]

AHHAHAHAHAH!!! That was AWFUL!!!!!! I mean the mistake. He was amazing as usual. But that poor french horn player must be killing himself.

[JacopoToscani]

Ah ah ah you are right!!!!

Lol...Nice screw....

[O15azero]

Muito dem executado...

[Sichr27]

HAHA

[dreddastaipas]

WTF!?

[JokinJoe]

His tone didn't suffer at 00:15... he just got softer.

[dugin27]

I'm 80 and have heard some great ones but this

gentleman takes the prize. My thanks to the one that posted this. Merry Christmas to all!

[ASSSTUD]

good choice, and also try allen vizzutti ,and of course harry james

[Drworm89]

Thanks to anyone who posts all of these Sergei videos! There were three other ones on here about five months ago that were very good. One was an interview of him.

[EnteLite]

Most trumpet players in the know agree that Sergei is quite possibly the best trumpet player who has ever lived and may be the best who will every live. Listen to his album 'No Limit' -- end of story. He has an unreal control over his sound, color, range etc. He is astonishing the finest trumpet artists the world over.

[Drworm89]

You know he was using Flugelhorn for most of the album except for two songs, right? I agree with you that the CD is amazing.

[ASSSTUD]

HOLD YOUR HEAD UP MAn!!!

[punchXdrunkXbitch]

Car accident makes him do that, well thats what ive heard.

[kittyfreek]

All I can say to those whose response to this fantastic performance is mondaine - get out your horn and show us something better.

[teflonde]

Why do these guys always play 'Carnival de Venice' in their repertoire?

What's wrong with playing all the other 30-odd Solos and Etudes which Arban himself did play no doubt in front of very critical audiences in the late 1900's (but obviously not recorded)

Also, what about the 'Etudes' etc in the 'St. Jacome Cornet Tutor'!

Nakariakov, could you please play some or perchance record ALL of these unknown pieces on a DVD (or whatever)?

I will be first to buy many copies.

[TheTrumpetologist]

the carnival of venice is in his repitore by popular demand, i imagine like me he has started to dilike the piece for its over rated status.

the carnival of venice is easy for people to understand and it goes fast so they like it.

personaly i like fantasie brilliante or variations on norma better.

dont get me wrong carnival is fun, but not fun enough to play at every concert.

[MKDAWUSS]

And I think everyone likes hearing it so much for that final segment where he quadruple tongues the melody

[teflonde]

tandrus7 - By "boring", all I'm suggesting is that virtually every top player includes this piece in their repertoire to the exclusion of the many other solos that Arban wrote - some of which were even much more technically demanding.

Would be nice to hear those occasionally.

I do not question the playing and ability of Sergie (and others) which is unquestionably brilliant.

[hankyeulyang]

The reason Carnival of Venice is played the most often is because it's a familiar tune and many variations have been written for other instruments as well such as the violin. If you think compositions by Arban and moto perpetuo (by Paganini - transcribed for trumpet) are the hardest pieces in terms of technique, you need to listen more.

[maccluer]

This is absolute beautiful playing. All those guys are great, but I think Sergei has the best phrasing.

[teflonde]

I've heard this piece over and over again to the point of absolute boredom!

Perchance, might he (Sergie) have a go at the other more interesting Arban solos?

If I hear the Arban 'Carnival de Venice' once again I think I'll scream!

C'mon Sergie, what about playing ALL the Arban Solos (and Etudes for that matter) on a CD.

I for one, will be your first customer.

John

[hankyeulyang]

He has recorded Variations on Bellini's Norma and Variations on a Tyrolean Song in case you didn't know. Recording ALL the Arban solos? Are you serious? There's about 30 (may be about 50 including the etudes)!

[tandrus7]

teflonde - If it was so boring why did you listen to the whole song. This man mastered this piece. Now go play on your Arban book.

[edcontact]

Magnificent!

[zander392]

sergei plays on antoine courtois trumpets and flugel horns. I dont know what model this horn is though.

[jspooner123]

he got in a car crash when he was young, and he isn't able to stand tall like normal. he doesn't choose to have that kind of posture.

[maynardmorris]

stand tall man whats the matter with u

[shawkobezhu]

back injury

[Spdres]

Music is not a sport! All three these guys (Vizzutti, Marsalis, Nakariakov) are great. You people can't be musicians yourselfs.

[awsmsean]

IT'S SERGEI

[soccerdude1239]

A) Faster- Sergey has a ridiculous flight of the bumblebee video which counts for a quick tempo. But Rafael Mendez can do it with his back straight. Let's hear Sergei play The Green Hornet.

B) Louder- He has a nice sound, but doesn't play nearly as loud as Vizzutti/Marsalis. Pianissimo?? are you kidding!?

C) Higher- A conservative Bb. Huge props there.

D) Bonus points for playing with horn upside-down? none.

To the offended classical fanboy: all trumpet players are idiots.

[danielgdecastro]

El tio ni se inmuta. Fantastico.

[soccerdude1239]

Sergey:

a) Can't play double F at the end of Carnival of Venice like Wynton, so he takes it down at the end and plays Bb just above the staff

b) Can't double tongue octaves like Allen so who cares if he can play staccato. Arturo Sandoval can play more difficult music up 2 octaves, with perfect staccato, dancing circles around this emo kid.

c) Gets owned in any way, sense, form, or fashion, by Allen Vizzuti. Plus Sergey can't play with his horn upside-down.

[hankyeulyang]

This is the funniest comment I have ever read.

[James4foze]

a) The score does not end with a double F, who cares if Wynton does it.

b) Listen to "Echoes from the past" recording, where he does a perfect octave double staccato, very fast and pianissimo as Vizzutti could never do. Sandoval just plays high as nobody can, but it's a different kind of music. When he plays classical, he's nothing compared to Nakariakov.

c) Vizzutti can only spread fast and non accurate legato shit, and he just isn't as accurate and technically good as Nakariakov.

[James4foze]

By the way, playing the horn upside down is just for circus and idiots like you that go WOW at that shit lol! This comment of you is enough to tell you're either a little kid or a complete idiot. Go back to soccer, soccerdude1239... you can't play trumpet, but maybe you can kick a ball.

The only trumpet player that can be compared to Nakariakov is Maurice Andre and his marvellous sound.

[Spdres]

It's an A by he way. You've got a lot to learn!

[legalizepot]

do me a favor and post a video of yourself performing this better... until then shut the fuck up... listen to that sound, the absolutely perfect phrasing, yes "phrasing" (perhaps you've heard of it, if you weren't busy creaming your pants about double f's and c's)... too many players (myself included) are obsessed with high notes, but traditional concert trumpet doesn't ever really go above a high D... leave the squealing to maynard and other jazz greats

[xJared]

First of all, he plays a concert G which is an A in the trumpet he's playing. Secondly, please go listen to Sergei play the 1st mov't of the Haydn Trumpet Concerto. The cadenza he plays clearly shows his master of multiple tonguings as well as his range.

[haydn25]

what kind of trumpet does sergei play on?

[xJared]

In this video he's playing a standard B-flat trumpet, I don't know the make/model though.

[MKDAWUSS]

IMO playing his horn upside down is the only thing where Zoot has the advantage over Nakariakov.

I do think Nakariakov is a little cleaner than Vizzuti though

[korv666]

WTF is wrong with you ppl go to hell and stay there, come back when you are a tasy roastbif.

[soccerdude1239]

the carnival of venice is easy. if he was a real man he would attempt to play carnival of VENUS. and yeah, that horn does suck at 0:15.

[F4s3r75]

Vizzutti my ass! Vizzutti just can't play as clean, perfect and fast as Nakariakov, especially on staccato. All the other great trumpet players like Marsalis and Vizzutti can only dream Sergei's accuracy and perfection. Probably the best trumpet player EVER, never misses a single note even when he plays live.

[REPRESENTA08]

Oh really then what about at 4:25-4:30??

[trumpetguy2211]

At 4:29 he does something not perfectly right, only for that second... but who cares? You must be either really stupid or totally ignorant about music. Or maybe both. Everyone makes wrong notes, especially trumpet players... but Sergei just makes NO wrong note, ever. And listen to his MUSIC, to his wonderful tone and interpretation... and to the AMAZING SPEED!!! There is no Vizzutti or anyone else that can play those Arban's variations as fast, ACCURATE and clean as Nakariakov! He is the best!!!

[dreddastaipas]

maurice andré is better

[Gozaburo1]

I strongly disagree, Maurice cracks his tone a lot of the time.

[jjohn211]

and he cant play moto perpetuo or however its spelled

[stormyshorts]

Is that why he DID play it?

[sweetmpea55]

i'm sure they are both better than you

[dreddastaipas]

oh, and how do you know if I play trumpet?

and I'm sure they are also better tha you...

[sweetmpea55]

well...my point is, if you were to put a trumpet to your lips and play it, you would suck at it.

and yes, they are both better than me, or else i would be the one in the video.

you fuckin douche.

[sweetmpea55]

@dreddastaipas only a trumpet player would say that

[sweetmpea55]

@dreddastaipas only a trumpet player would say something so retarded. of course they are better than me. i bet i can make a better sandwich than them tho. got MAD skillz

[rovad22]

I agree. Sergei's speed and tehnic are the best!!

[DJaFF]

Vizzutti! by far

yet Sergey is amazing

[chacalpete]

Simplesmente o melhor

[themouseofevil]

I think the best is either Maurice Andre or Rafael Mendez.

[MKDAWUSS]

I agree, and IMO Mendez never gets the credit he deserves

[Montanelas14]

the best of the world....

[trumpet1977]

Allen  Vizzutti is the BEST.

[8011255198086]

Sergei has a great control in the lower and middle ranges, however i wonder how he would sound in the upper registers compared to Allen Vizzutti?

[hankoos]

Most trumpet players in the know agree that Sergei is quite possibly the best trumpet player who has ever lived and may be the best who will every live. Listen to his album 'No Limit' -- end of story. He has an unreal control over his sound, color, range etc. He is astonishing the finest trumpet artists the world over.
