There are countless numbers of cornet/trumpet players who can play this but the thing that sets Andre apart from them all is the tonal quality he achieved.....beautiful, full, round tones that aren't harsh to the ear. I have yet to hear anyone else with the skill to do this. Tine Thing Helseth has the same quality but I haven't heard her play this piece. Another amazing thing is the way Andre makes it sound almost leisurely and unhurried.
Well said, that man. I can play it but it doesn't sound like that! I think it's a piece we all learn from the back pages of Arban but it's one that really doesn't take prisoners. I don't play as much as I did and I have to swap my 2C for a 4B to attempt this. Sad :)
@ghettonoobss Check your facts before you call someone else an idiot. Jean Baptiste Arban was professor of cornet at the Paris Conservatory from 1869-1889, and H. L. Clarke was one of the most celebrated cornet soloists in America from the late 1800's to the middle of the 20th century.
@ghettonoobss Herbert L. Clarke was the solo cornetist for the Sousa band and arranged all his own solos and J.B. Arban was the very first professor of the cornet with piston ever. They were both players AND arrangers/composers. I don't know how easily you can find recordings of them playing, but they both wrote, played, and taught the instrument. I can understand the confusion, but next time double check your facts.
This is the reason Maurice Andre was the best of them all....He even made this difficult piece sound like a walk in the park...almost leisurely and unhurried.
Such underated chops, ok, maybe not, but damn, truly one of a kind, the opening cadenza is what is most impressive, the size of his sound, and his lyricism.
anybody know when was this recording made? also, is he playing a cornet of a flugelhorn? I know the cornet was made to have a warmer/fluffier sound, but it REALLY sounds like a flugelhorn. Either way, he has done this piece beautifully. His sound is so relaxed as he buzzes through all this fast and technical stuff and he makes all that ink sound like a real piece of music, which sets him apart from many other players.
The picture is certainly a pic although the sound is definately a B flat cornet rather than trumpet. Sounds like he playing a late Sovereign or maybe a Sterling
One measure of a master trumpeter is the effortless way he/she plays this difficult piece....The true virtuoso makes it sound almost leisurely and unhurried..........like Maurice Andre. Nobody else comes close in this regard. Other renditions sound strained and forced as though the musician was at his/her out limits.
I'm a tuba player, but I admire this guy for his amazing playing. By the way, what kind of trumpet is he using? (not brand or model, I mean is it a piccolo or something)
An easy way to discern the difference between Marsalis and Maurice Andre is to pay attention to the way Andre makes this difficult piece sound almost leisurely and unhurred. Marsalis is straining at his upper limit while Andre seems to have ability to spare.
Yes...but I'm still trying to locate on You Tube Maurice's blowing on Cherokee. Can't seem to find it anywhere. Wynton is hands down the best trumpet player ever recorded. Prove me wrong....
Very nicely done. M. Andre is a legend among horn players, and this performance bears this out.
Winton's was also excellent but a little "airy."
However, I would love to here Rafael Mendez' rendition. He had recorded one for Coast Records in the 1940s but I can't find it. He always had the clearest tone. No missed notes, blinding speed and fantastic musicality. To me, the best ever...
Maurice is the King of Classical for sure, but he couldn't play a lick of jazz. You have to hand it to Wynton for venturing into the classical world. Although he is definitely a more proficient jazz performer, he holds his own on the classical stuff. There aren't many out there capable of doing both.
It's not a contest, music that is. Wynton was wonderful, and so was Maurcie Andre on Carnival of Venice. Who cares who's the best? Just be glad that we can enjoy many, many performers playing for us. Music is better with variations on interpretation/tone/style. Thank goodness for variety - How would we like it if there was only Bach, and no Beethoven? I say listen, enjoy both performances.
Maurice Andre makes this difficult piece seem almost leisurely and unhurried. It seems as though he has a surplus of talent which he isn't even using. Just a walk in the park. He was amazing.
Wynton is in a category all his own because his abilities transcend genre lines…Wynton excels in ANY arena he's placed. This leaves his abilities limitless…I don't believe the same can be said about Mr. Andre…I'm sorry… =)
@drmccrae ...I suggest you become famaliar with Ole Edvard Antonsen, a Norwegian trumpet virtuoso. He plays classical and contemporary music with equal excellence and far surpasses Marsalis.
@SpeedyNeutrino43 Ole Edvard is one of the best solo trumpeters out there. like you said he surpasses marsalis by far. he has the most beautiful tone i have ever heard and he play with such precision that it sounds like every note plays is his last and he have to make it the best anyone ever can. check out my channel! he plays gloria in excelsis deo by handel. that version is better than the maurice andre version!
@Classicaltrumpet100 Another Norwegian trumpeter I'm fond of is Tine Thing Helseth. Never mind the fact that she's very pretty she's VERY good. I also like Alison Balsom from England. Thanks for the suggestion about Antonsen.
don't ever compare the king to Wynton. Wynton may be arguably the greatest trumpet player in the world today, but Maurice was the greatest of all time.
First and foremost this is an excellent rendition of the carnival of venice. With that out of the way. Wynton's 1987 recorded version of this with the Eastman Wind Esemble trumps this one hands down. They were both spectacular and coudn't be imitated by most. There was one comment on here that wynton's version sounded busy compared Andre's i must disagree. Wynton's surpasses andre's in note clarity. In the last movment and in the triple tounging section wynton is truly amazing. Andre was close.
Wonderful. Truly wonderful. Almost as good as Wynton's, but not as precise.
What I like the most about Maurice's version is the casualness with which he plays, almost as if he's a street performer, just walking around entertaining the patrons of the sidewalk cafes.
I guess wynton, sergei, vizzuitti, phillip smith, mendez, herseth, harry james, clarke, morricone, arban, gerald schwartz, or freddie didnt like this video
@jtthunder1234 Hey, I love Andre. His approach is so different. But I doubt if you ever heard Mendez play it. There is only one recording and I can't get my hands on it. His articulation was superior to everyone else. He actually had one variation in his "Carnival" performance that used first valve only...into the stratosphere! It's a shame he died in his early 70s resulting from his asthma.
Maurice makes this piece sound almost leisurely and unhurried.....Many other trumpet players seem to be struggling at various points in the music. For Maurice Andre it's effortless.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What a French pussy. Can't play it live, like all the other trumpet players who record. He's too much of a wimp to have a recording of him in front of an orchestra because he doesn't have the talent to do it. Anyone can record and record and record until it suits them, then dump it on the Internet. Let's see a recording of Maurice The-Want-To-Be performing with a live, real time orchestra. No wonder the French are the international culltural joke.
@Nabokov50 If i knew so little about what i hear, i'd rather not comment... He's been playing LONG before when they started to mix things into perfection. This is a live and direct revording. Like all of his other recordings...
@Nabokov50 If i knew so little about things i hear, i'd rather not comment... He's been playing since long before they started to mix things into perfection. This is a live and direct recording, like all the other of his recordings...

@Nabokov50 "French cultural joke" ? Don't try to fill and hide your lack of culture by depreciating those you can't talk about without saying rubbishes. I heard him three times in concert. Only 1 or 2 times he missed a note. Once, he completely missed the beginning of an Allegro. He stopped, apologized and played again. The concert was perfect from the beginning to the end. And you, with your pride, are saying that he's a dumb who doesn't have talent. U don't have brain & I'm sorry for that !
@Nabokov50 fuck your mother you silly pussy... he was the best trumpet player in the world... i wanna see you playing this piece like maurice... so shut up
it sounds effortless, i mean, wyntons does too, but not like this, maurice is the first trumpet player i have heard that honestly sounds like the horn is as natural as breathing for him. brilliant!
@officialhopsof If i knew so little about things i hear, i'd rather not comment... He's been playing since long before they started to mix things into perfection. This is a live and direct recording, like all the other of his recordings...
Question, most all solo pieces were written along time ago, before Andre for the current trumpet players. How do we know that they weren't one of the best players? We'll never know because no recordings exesisted back in those days. Just a thought.
@Nabokov50 I am sure he played it even better with no mistakes if front of a huge audience with an orchestra, there are just no recordings of it on youtube. I would bet you $1,000 that he did a max of 3 takes on the whole thing, with no recording over, he is the best classical trumpet player ever.
@SpeedyNeutrino43 i'd say they're both amazing players dude... you can't even begin to say that Marsalis is only "fairly good". I agree that Maurice Andre is better, but neither is anywhere near average haha
They're so sharp all the time. I have one and I had to use it ddurring marching band and in class while my other trumpet was being leaned IT WAS AWFUL!!!
In my opinion, whether you like his style or not (I personally do), there is no one that has ever sounded like the Maestro. He has and will always be an inspiration and the closest thing to perfection we will ever hear.
Always amazing hearing this guy, rediculous almost. Who could believe that in his private school he got beaten for making mistakes on Arban's Characteristic Studies, he left and shortly thereafter returned to play all 14 perfect. Now he plays this like it's nothing harder then a remedial song when in fact its one of the hardest in the repertoire.
@jumpermanix : Uh....I don't think so......Wynton's version actually sounds like a cornet, his attacks are better, and his cadenzas are to die for. Don't forget about Nakariakov and Simeo.....both could easily play as well or better and with better resonance. Stay objective and you will discover more talented trumpets than you could ever imagine.
@jumpermanix hmmm... thinkin it's the other way around... wynton's got his beat. ;)
And while Wynton's got him beat in pure technique and execution, no one I've heard makes this track sound so delightfully playful. And I'll take expression over technique any day of the week.
I first heard the Maestro about thirty five years ago and he remains at the peak of trumpet/cornet playing.His skill,talent and feeling undiminished by the years.Sublime,beyond description.
@SMFCPA I disagree. Wynton Marsalis has proven to be equal, or possibly better. There isn't one piece out there that the both of them can't play, so we may never know.
Most definitly the best ever version of the carnival de Venice played exactly as it was intended by J B Arburn to show his skill on the cornet . slow lazy start with no effort or struggle . no unneccesary jazzing up. it was written for cornet but does sound like a flugel horn. no way is it a trumpet.

@Nabokov50 If i knew so little about things i hear, i'd rather not comment... He's been playing since long before they started to mix things into perfection. This is a live and direct recording, like all the other of his recordings...

@Nabokov50 "French cultural joke" ? Don't try to fill and hide your lack of culture by depreciating those you can't talk about without saying rubbishes. I heard him three times in concert. Only 1 or 2 times he missed a note. Once, he completely missed the beginning of an Allegro. He stopped, apologized and played again. The concert was perfect from the beginning to the end. And you, with your pride, are saying that he's a dumb who doesn't have talent. U don't have brain & I'm sorry for that !

it sounds effortless, i mean, wyntons does too, but not like this, maurice is the first trumpet player i have heard that honestly sounds like the horn is as natural as breathing for him. brilliant!

Question, most all solo pieces were written along time ago, before Andre for the current trumpet players. How do we know that they weren't one of the best players? We'll never know because no recordings exesisted back in those days. Just a thought.

Let's compare Wynton's jazz to Maurice's jazz.
Oh... Maurice can't play jazz. Thought so.

Why isn't he playing it live in front of an orchestra like all the others do? Guess you could just keep taping over all the mistakes.
Nabokov50 1 year ago
@Nabokov50 I am sure he played it even better with no mistakes if front of a huge audience with an orchestra, there are just no recordings of it on youtube. I would bet you $1,000 that he did a max of 3 takes on the whole thing, with no recording over, he is the best classical trumpet player ever.

maurice is fantastic but i think that marsalis has him beat when it comes conveying effortlessness with double and triple tonguing.

@SpeedyNeutrino43 i'd say they're both amazing players dude... you can't even begin to say that Marsalis is only "fairly good". I agree that Maurice Andre is better, but neither is anywhere near average haha

In my opinion, whether you like his style or not (I personally do), there is no one that has ever sounded like the Maestro. He has and will always be an inspiration and the closest thing to perfection we will ever hear.

Always amazing hearing this guy, rediculous almost. Who could believe that in his private school he got beaten for making mistakes on Arban's Characteristic Studies, he left and shortly thereafter returned to play all 14 perfect. Now he plays this like it's nothing harder then a remedial song when in fact its one of the hardest in the repertoire.

jumpermanix 1 year ago 138
@jumpermanix : Uh....I don't think so......Wynton's version actually sounds like a cornet, his attacks are better, and his cadenzas are to die for. Don't forget about Nakariakov and Simeo.....both could easily play as well or better and with better resonance. Stay objective and you will discover more talented trumpets than you could ever imagine.
Coryrr1 1 year ago
@jumpermanix hmmm... thinkin it's the other way around... wynton's got his beat. ;)
And while Wynton's got him beat in pure technique and execution, no one I've heard makes this track sound so delightfully playful. And I'll take expression over technique any day of the week.

I think some people are confusing Maurice Andre (being heard on this video) and Maurice Murphy who sadly passed away last week ....
As far as I know, Maurice Andre is still well alive.

@SMFCPA I disagree. Wynton Marsalis has proven to be equal, or possibly better. There isn't one piece out there that the both of them can't play, so we may never know.

Most definitly the best ever version of the carnival de Venice played exactly as it was intended by J B Arburn to show his skill on the cornet . slow lazy start with no effort or struggle . no unneccesary jazzing up. it was written for cornet but does sound like a flugel horn. no way is it a trumpet.
