For you trumpet players that are listening to this to learn the excerpts - primarily the dance solos - notice that Phil's rubato fits into the rest of the orchestra. It is in line with what Maazel is conducting. Just a thought.
This looks like a massive departure from common music for many onlookers, but there were a few in that crowd who "got it." A couple had that controlled orgasmic glazed over look. ;) Tough arena to show how much you really liked what you were hearing for some. (I got a near orgasm from some parts anyway).
The North Koreans are sittin' there like emotionless stovepipes. They must be on the lookout for the thought police. Or thinkin' where their gonna get their next rat for dinner. "just some rice and a little ratmeat"...thats all they care about. Alex Jones think it's "prison planet" here. N.K. is a prison country. Even their neighbor(& friend...?) China treats 'em like a red headed stepchild. ('cause they cross the border into China lookin' for rats)
The Gershwin is phenomenal but the crowd is deplorable. I can't sit still listening to this it is so fun yet not one of them is even bobbing their head or cracking a smile...
its called a ghetto mute. Probably the North Korean Government didn't allow them to bring a mute thinking they might bring an illegal item like a cell phone into the country.
@mclaine33 Actually it's called a felt crown. Originally, players were to use the crown of a fedora without the lining but nowadays players just use a felt bag. A Crown Royal bag is probably the most common bag used.
Yeah i see it. I was just making a joke before. Although I didn't know why at first they were using a felt bag but TheMelterof Faces explained it to me.
just last night i was listening to this on my new record player that i got for christmas! kept moving the needle back to this section (0:00-0:41) over and over again!! BEST
i had such a sick nastey tuba solo in this peice at band camp, we did take the tempo at this speed and did well with it...... our oboe played so out of tune though!!!
The tempo was a tad too fast for my liking, but nevertheless it was absolutely breathtaking. Philharmonic orchestras of this skill never cease to amaze me. It was such a pity though that the audience didn't seem too impressed with the performance. I guess the appreciation of real talent seems to be an acquired taste nowadays.
I think the North Korean are by far not as open when it comes to expressing emotion as Americans (who regularly enormously over-exaggerate they emotions).
Second is, I don't bounce around either when I'm listing to an orchestra playing (not at home nor in a concerthall).
Neither do I, but I simply cannot keep a straight face when listening to something like this though. When one understands the emotion paired with talent in pieces like this it is impossible not to smile at the very least.
It was weird though how even the Americans in the audience looked bored.
this is Lorin Maazel. In this concert Maazel led the orchestra in renditions of both USA and North Korean National Anthems, the New World Symphony (Dvorak, No. 9) and closed with a Korean folk tune, Arirang. (taken from wikipedia)
The first 45 seconds of this clip are in my humble opinion, THE BEST lines of music ever written. Why the trumpet was muzzled, not sure. those notes need to peel out like Gabriel sound the final moments of the world.

@aa4285 RIGHT. I completely agree. what is Phil Smith, the greatest trumpet player possibly to grace this planet, thinking?! you OBVIOUSLY have much more experience and musical knowledge than him. he obviously must have forgotten that stupid bag on his bell. its DEFINITELY not a mute used for a certain tone quality/ effect or anything.
sorry bud. but if you want notes peeling out like Gabriel in the final notes of the world, try listening to the last few minutes of mahler symphony no. one.
the lady at 3:05 always makes me smile, how she just bobs her head, even if it's slightly, and even if it's North Korea. she's enjoying the music very much :)
God bless you ! My father ( dead in 1998 ) played this song in his piano and had a LP ( Long Player ) . You made me remember my father....God bless you !
@tvastar Yes, let's! We could waltz or do the Charleston. We could do a hot honey rag (high five if you get that reference). If you're feeling ambitious we could attempt some swing dancing. Or we could just slow dance from side to side. =)
Love the trumpet solo around 1:00. Just wondering what is the bag over the bell (as shown in the video.) Is that notated in the music and what does it do for the tone?
And the sax licks, love them (especially as a T. Sax player.)
So many great runs and melodies, there's just too much to love to say it all.
@robxbff The bag over the trumpet is used as a sort of a mute. I'm playing an arrangement in school and it says to use a felt cap I think. Just used to muffle the sound a little.
He's playing on a trumpet in C as well, not a normal Bb, C trumpets are larger bore and produce a livelier tone as well, the tuning slide is shorter, making them a whole step higher in timbre.
lmfao... i read this comment and when it came to the woodblock i just started cracking up in my seat..i wish they had people work the camera who knew the piece of music..especially since its fucking gershwin COME ON. lol.
this is really has the most swing of all, but you would never know with Maazel. At 5:15 he hqs no swing in 4. Not sure who is more stonefaced-the conductor or the audience. But he players know how to keep the tradition alive.
This amazing piece makes every instrument sound absolutely beautiful. I just can't comprehend how Gershwin did it! And I'm sure deep down in the North Korean hearts, they're feeling the music as much as we can express it. Just give them time :)
