@olcottj@olcottj The first recording was not by Crispian Steele-Perkins (though he has a nice book on the trumpet). It was performed by Don Smithers. And the newest recording of Wynton is my least favorite. While it may be "showy" it exceedingly takes away from what Bach originally wanted in the piece as trumpets of the time were not capable of doing this. The original however, was the best recording, I agree.
There have been three recordings of this piece (Abblasen by Gottfried Reiche, Bach's own trumpeter) used by CBS's Sunday Morning over the course of the show's life. First (and, in my opinion, the best), was played by the British master trumpeter Chrispian Steele-Perkins, performed on a natural trumpet (no valves - they were not invented in Bach's time). Second was by Doc Serverinson, and the third (the one used now) by Wynton.
SUNRISE IN HEAVEN - MAY ALMIGHTY GOD BE FOREVER PRAISED!!! HOLY HOLY HOLY HOLY HOLY HOLY HOLY HOLY HOLY IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WHO WAS AND IS AND IS TO COME!!!!! JESUS CHRIST - KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH! THE OPENING IS WHAT I IMAGINE A HAPPY SOUL IN HEAVEN BEING!!!
It's taken from a famous picture of Gottfried Reiche (he's holding the music in his hand). It would be played on a natural trumpet (valveless-like a big bugle, probably in D). Winton's playing it on a pic Bb. The ending gruppetto (turn) at the end is inappropriate and takes a baroque piece and makes it classical. The short ascending notes at the end are also out-of-place. They should be played like a fanfare.
Fred are you from northeast pa? this is wynton playing. somewhere online i have seen docs playing of this as he recorded it refered to as ablazen, rather than the trad spelling. still great trumpet though however you spell it...

That's not Doc, that's Wynton as he adds that slur at the end of the 2nd bar and a "turn" just before the last C.

Wynton...I love the way he performed the piece but still made it his own.
