Maurice André - the Flight of the Bumblebee (trumpet)

[jevonj77]

The ending...oh...the ending...with the held out note...the softly held out note...So nice and peaceful. Hard to do coming from that crescendo of notes...

[Mistric24]

I wish I could play like that...

[pemmore]

Maurice André fait partie de trompettistes comme mon père qui considéraient qu'aucune musique faite au violon ou à la flute ne pouvait pas être jouée à la trompette. c'était la belle époque avant l'arrivée des casseroles japonaises.

inoubliable.

[xeoncat202]

I didn't know that Strauss-Khan played the trumpet O_O

[MrJohnnyrace]

Sorry Mr. Al Hirt, but you will have to step down now.

[SRV1]

@MrJohnnyrace DR Hirt that is ;) 

[tompussina]

Ma c'è qualcosa che non sai suonare Maurice? Con una tromba in mano saresti capace di far impallidire anche la cetra di Ermes. Unico, solo ed inimitabile. Tutti sono in grado di suonare queste note,ma dal tuo bocchino non escono solo note: esce la Musica!!! Grande Vecchio, sarai sempre nel mio cuore.

[sTRadivaRiUsx]

wow, beautiful sound, one of my fav pieces and trumpet players

[MrThimo15]

Wow ... :D

[ZaiahC]

His tone is untouchable by anyone or thing. He will forever be known as the best trumpet tone of all time.

[soccerstar5457]

@ZaiahC i think rafael mendez is tied with him

[ZaiahC]

@soccerstar5457 I can totally agree with that. Maurice Andre = Raphael Mendez

[Pioko89]

fantastic!



[ChristianFire7]

Chuck Norris doesn't like this!

[mellem51]

I like harry james' version more, but Maurice is also great and he nearly plays the same mouthpiece as me :D

[Soundalex]

GOD, whit all characters

[YWCTrumpetMania]

wow....

[SHlavac]

His tone is incredible.

[azhiba]

Maestro!

[lolfagman102]

flawless



[OMGmynameisLILI]

no one has that tone :O is awesome. his tone is unique and so difficult to reach . for not to say impossible

[Nabokov50]

Nothing wrong with this player. He's good. And I don't mean to compare, but check-out Rafael Mendez's rendition of The Bumblee Bee.

[SoMuchKoolerOnline]

This guy rocks! The way he can play--it's mezmerizing.

[Trioptio]

Now I have a favorite trumpet player.

[rbs600]

was this piece originally written for trumpet?

[ZuperZeize]

@rbs600 i think it was originally written for piano, then flute and trumpet

[prime618]

Excuse me for my ignorance but.

How do you get your trumpet to play that sort of tone that the trumpet playing the main melody had?

[TrumpetMaster8190]

@prime618

It's all in the breath dude. You can have any kind of tone that you want depending on how you use your air lol (to an extent, obviously).

[WormYourHonor64]

@prime618 I was thinking it was a flugelhorn, but what do I know?  Meh.

[ArthionEnethIn]

His tone is just perfect... it's amazing XD

[RagoDN]

I didn't know you could play that fast with a brass instrument! x.x Nice. 5/5

[74642]

HOLY CRAP, dude.

[B17MIKE]
