A God among men.

[pwnmonkeyisreal]

y.. is there no lead pipe?

[danielwills93]

@pwnmonkeyisreal It's an Eb trumpet, the leadpipe stops short, and connects straight down to the third valve

The Best

[lilmaynard44]

hes playing an e flat trumpet. and on an e flat, that note is a c, which he played. oh and the conductor, dat bowtie

[Steven7101]

Is he playing a C trumpet...? He should have hit a high e flat there ,but he depressed the first valve....

[nbaolafek]

it's a pity that it's classic music cause i just wanted to clap after this movement... if u know what i mean

[RoboSlater]

I believe that is Raymond Leppard conducting the National Philharmonic Orchestra. FYI, the two best recordings happen to be recent ones and are available to see here on YouTube, one by Norwegian trumpet phenomenon, Tine Thing Hespeth, and the other recording by Alison Balsom, the young winner of the British Classical Music Awards' Musician of the Year for 2009 and 2010. Hespeth has the circular breathing nailed and her technique is flawless, but Balsom is a close second. Marsalis is up there.

@RoboSlater Those two - Tine and Alison - are the best I have seen in ages. Just love their work. Great players both.

[bigeasyno1]

@slofox13 Tine & Alison are excellent, but Hakan Hardenberger has clearly been w/out peer for over 20 years, and most will conclude that he is our greatest exponent of the trumpet. As a New Orleanian, I was inspired by the Marsalis family and Wynton was certainly my greatest influence before Hardenberger. Though focused on jazz the last 15-20 years (where his legacy is nearly inestimable), Wynton's contributions to the classical idiom can never be diminished are discounted.

[TheeAuracle]

i didnt kno willy wonka was a music conductor...jk ! haha this is great

[utomaf]

The conductor was Polish, Jerzy Maksymiuk

[jc135276]

I wouldn't be able to help myself- I'd be up cheering after that cadenza!!

[Mariobilic1]

Why is sound so bad? Winton sounds like amateur.

[Tigerwarhawk]

@Mariobilic1 Amateur? You clearly don't know what the hell you're talking about.

[Triviumheadica]

@Mariobilic1 Are you high? What's wrong with you? The greatest trumpet player in the world and you label him amateur >_>

[BobkerYa]

@Mariobilic1 Sound quality is terrible. The fact that he sounds that good with such poor sound quality is unbelievable.

[SalaputiaBrass]

6:05 is great!!

[carfreakify]

@SalaputiaBrass

That whole solo is unbelievable

[atownsoulja2131]

amazing simply amazing.. what freaked me out was 4:39 it seems as if though a fwe of the violinists are in black and white when the rest are in color

[now5230]

after he plays the cadenza like that, its not fair that the audience has to hold their applause til the end of the piece

[Garpinator]

Marvelous! Who are the orchestra and conductor?

[StradMan37]

I think the cadenza was a variation on one which I've heard recorded by the great Maurice Andre. But, oh man, WHAT A VARIATION!!!

[bhela]

Omg this cadenza was so crazy

[96KLio]

sehr schön wynton

[askdhg]

What orchestra is it?



[Gridiron992]

ARRGH! the horrid quality of the video, but the music is good nonetheless.
