Grøndahl: Concert for Trombone and Orchestra - Moderato

[musiqueric]

il est trop fort !!!!!!

[Tomas93rus]

Very good execution!!! I think that this concert at it sounds more abruptly than at Ellesi!!!

[blarg4847]

Does anyone know where I could purchase the orchestral accompaniment for this piece?

[LJbones3]

Yes, I love to hear this guy play ;-)

[shishirth]

A very fine performance

[NuritXD1]

wow fucking amazing!!!

[Jonesbone3]

This is very beautiful music <3. I love it from 1:37 man, what a beautiful sound and very excellent expression <3. Hearing guys like this play makes me really want to get it. It ain't going to happen over night that's for sure ;-)

[Hettbone1]

This concerto suits him.

[bebopmomma]

Great performance!

[drumchick99]

This is very good but my favorite is Alessi's rendition. I'm a sucker for the american trombone sound though.

[blechpower1]

was würde ich dafür geben, so gut spielen zu können ;)

[jiramos87]

qué manera de tocarte el alma

es increible

[Davidseo2000]

I playing Trombone in the Eichendorffschool Fischbach

[yboss3]

I recently discovered him and his virtuosic playing ability. He is an amazing player and one of my favorite tenor trombonists along with Joe Alessi.

[dandimo12]

I like this guys performance better than Christian Lindberg's

check it out

[akuyukisama]

Conductor looks like C. Everett Koop

[hotchrislee]

Before I get my head bitten off, i think he's amazing. I just think the dancing is unusual. If it helped me play like this i'll try it!!!

[hotchrislee]

I wonder if dancing around helps you play better...

[nokesmb7]

Coming off of playing this piece in my own recital, this is a very interesting performance to hear. Quite enjoyable, and I like that the soloist has a unique and individualized approach to the piece. Sorry it isn't quite the same as everyone else's performance of it.

[olrin1]

beautiful!

lol it's so annoying that in every second classical concert the camera zooms to the clarinets when there is a oboe solo part, here @ 01:32

[trombonistik]

Bravo Jorgen, fantastic sound and musicality!!!

I hope to see and hear your recital at " Slide Factory Festival" in Rotterdam14-17 April

[tramoldova]

Bravo!, super musical, no coment!!!

[Ictusman]

Dancin' Grondahl!! C'mon party hard!!

[Dregsonmalachite]

One of my favorite cadenzas of all time.

[liana310580]

Красиво

[Philbatrom]

what a gorgeous solo

[JTylerBentley]

That was possibly the first picardy third that I have been ok with... on the last chord of the orchestra.

[Incolent]

@st0suki That makes sense

[posaunix]

beautiful! surely a clear "victory" against the lindberg-recording!!!

[killertromboner]

One of my friends in my trombone studio at Northern Arizona. It is an awesome piece. Hope to play it one day.

[TheTsudude]

playing this in two days... hope I sound half this good

[st0suki]

久しぶりにこの曲を聴いた

また演奏したくなった

この方はとても素敵だ

人の心を動かす才能の持ち主だ

とても感動した

[MrRanzTROMBONE]

you are a god of trombone.....you are my idol jorgen....

[mortalfrog007]

i think he plays a bach stradivarius, but it still isn't the best intrument! ideal for beginners but a little thin when used professional... if you like bach you should try 42a with hagmann free flow valve! that really is a great instrumnet! otherwise try schagerl!

[mortalfrog007]

@Snookbone really?! i would have thought better of him... ;-)

[Theis59]

@Snookbone - it's a courtois..

[LLJtbone]

What a nice sound and what a beautiful piece of music. Makes me love playing tbone even more.

[ranimal101]

wow, excellent playing. You are very good!!!

[outofmylaboratory]

it's amazing how much his sound carries at 3:58 you can still hear it ringing even as he plays the next phrase!

[gochips2003]

He may be playing it in 1st. It's going to be however it sounds in tune. For him, that may be 1st in this piece.

[akarch737]

I could be wrong, watching it a few more times makes me curious. Now I am not sure.

[akarch737]

I don't think so. If you play a g sharp in first it should sound flat. I think he just uses 3 it is hard to tell as the music does not line up with the video exactly.

[MrFlydaddy1]

Did he play the G# in 1st postition at 2:10???? That may fix my problem....

[5ttOttoniToscana]

fenomenale!

[preins]

lindberg is a musical freak show - he doen't even sound like a trombone when he plays. yes his technique is almost otherworldly but who cares when you sound like sh*t

[rjksoccer06]

4:05 Amazing!!

[MrJoeytrombone]

He is a very good player love his intensity and interpretation, his vibrato is very controlled. kinda reminds me of Nitzan Harroz (principal trombone of the Philly Orch) but still pic Nitzan

[SpencerCHale]

1:23 When he's got the low winds underneath him on the Db. Oh man. I melted a little on the inside. It was the best thing I've ever heard on trombone. The end of that phrase, right at 1:20 is fantastic. The way the strings come in, and his sound right there are so complimentary. Excellent composition and excellent interpretation/execution.

[akarch737]

yes, you would know this recording immediately. I have used this recording to improve my playing. I have a video up of me playing along with this video.

[revoltingmexican]

I liked how Lindberg always memorized his versions. Sure this guy is great, but if you put this recording into a hat with everyone elses, could you pick it out and say, that's Rijen? You'd know lindberg's immediately. That's the big difference. You'd probably know Alessi's too (which one has no vibrato and sound almost fake it's so clean).

[trombonedemon]

Some times Lindberg sounds like hes nervous when uses his vibrato, it gets in the way of the basic T-bone sound, imho, this guys sound is clean but, Alessi almost uses no vibrato, so maybe its like comparing green apples to red apples, I like every kind of apple if you know what I mean!

[OCbandninja]

vibrato varies depending on where you're from and what style you play. Lindberg is Swedish, and European vibrato is much faster and the trombone sound is much brighter. American trombone vibrato usually comes later in the tone (this is a jazz influence i believe) and a darker sound is preferred. They are both wonderful though, right?! :D

[kase902]

Right on buddy!

Jazz and Classical, gotta respect both schools.

[lobotrombon21]

Este man toca con una dulzura pero a la vez con caracter... Cuando vendra por lo menos a Costa Rica. Es lo más cerca q' hay de Panamá.

[jcrixell92]

not really, when alessi is considered the best in the world.

[Seibukan76]

Who cares who's better? They're both better than you'll ever be.

And considering that Alessi is over 20 years older than Van Rijen, I'm willing to bet money that since Jörgen is fairly young and still improving, he will be the better player in the near future.

[jcrixell92]

@Seibukan76 who stuck bees down your pants? you took this way too literally and you need to chill out. You're first comment is completely irrelevant because no one (NOT EVEN YOU since you're so keen on insulting me) will be as good as Joe or Jorgen. My first comment never implied that Joe was better. I was just saying that I preferred Joe's Grondahl to Jorgen's. Whenever I practice the Grondahl, I use Joe's recording as reference. Does that mean I don't like Jorgen, OF COURSE NOT! hes great

[armyofsalvation]

Do you have any idea where I could find the score for trombone and orchestra? It seems like I can only find the trombone and piano part.

[jcrixell92]

it was great, but i think alessi's version is better. just a little bit. lol prolly cuz Rigen moves around too much

[jalokim2002]

thats a lame reason to not like it....

[ILickGlue]

No it's not :P

[luizvinicius28]

espetacular

[syphlar]

He is such a fantastic player! Love his sound and the technique is superb. His playing is so lyrical and the phrasing is perfect.

[realbrasspassion]

What a player! :) Fantastic!

[sc5354]

I agree^^

[BassTrombone360]

great tone

[oOFantaLaDyOo]

We play this with our school orchestra now.

It's hard to play for violin lol (but maybe it wouldn't be so hard if I would practise sometimes ^^)

So many people in my orchestra don't like the concert. Probably because it's a complete other style than what you play normally.

I think it's totally underrated.

I kind of like it :D

[TromboneDirk]

Woow this man definately comes from El-Dorado, goldtown. If you here his sound.. awesome.

[jeonjaeyeon]

great good........

[LLJtbone]

This guy plays with alot of emotion I like that alot. Beautiful sound.

[eddimull]

Lol, he milked it for all it was worth at 4:06. Awesome.

[slidesense]

great!

[schuifmans]

jörgen's trombone is not a V Bach,but a Courtois Challenger II

[pitching89]

Thank you for the correction! That was my mistake, I threw that out there without knowing for sure. Hopefully you weren't too offended by what I said, and if you were, I'm sorry.

[NisbetAM]

who are you to recommend anything of the principal trombonist of a world famous orchestra?

With your world-class taste, post some videos of you playing so we can compare...

[pitching89]

And who are you to challenge me in front of everyone here? You have absolutely no idea who I am and you couldn't care less if I actually DID post a video of me playing so don't try and pull that with me. Look, I offered my opinion, you disagreed, now you're entitled to your opinion as I am mine, so leave me alone.

[Autarch3820]

pitching89 you're an idiot

[pitching89]

Wow, thank you, you don't comment at all about what you don't like about what I said, you just attack me directly. I was offering my opinion, clearly, it wasn't well received, but at least have the decency to not leave the comment "you're an idiot" without at least telling me why you think so. Jerk.

[Autarch3820]

Okay. You're an idiot because you suggested an instrument change to one of the best musicians in the world, who is also the principal trombonist in one the best orchestras on the planet. 

Then you delete your comment. Obviously you agree with the replies, or you're just too embarrassed to stick to your conventions.

This is one of the reasons so few professionals give away a FREE performance or post a recording. Because people like you will make pointless and uninformed negative comments.

[pitching89]

Hey, look at that, actual commentary! Doesn't that feel so much better than just stating the very empty comment "you're an idiot"? Good job buddy.

[pitching89]

See, now we've taken a step back here. Remember, we're not supposed to say that without justification. It's okay, you'll get the hang of it soon, I believe in you.

[NisbetAM]

Idiot..

[Seibukan76]

Beautiful tone and incredible technique. The interpretation was a bit different than what you would usually hear, especially pertaining to articulation, but the performance was still impressive.

[ZendeghiBahal]

@Seibukan76 : celebrate diversity! Thank the stars we don't all play it the same!

[tromboneandy]

@Seibukan76 perhaps his unique interpretation is why his performance was so impressive?

[sifjasi]

lo aces de putamadre xaval

[kantonis1990]

giant excpert van rijen has unbelievable technique awesome !!!!!

[AROYOTROMBON]

estupendo!!!!!!!!

[SeybertGuy]

listened to all three of these, fantastic. Man great job.
