  • I feel the uncontrollable urge to start a noir narrative.

  • @SargentTaco897

    its called a ghetto mute. Probably the North Korean Government didn't allow them to bring a mute thinking they might bring an illegal item like a cell phone into the country.

    In other words it is a bag over the trumpet.

  • Is very nice.

  • i hope i make phil proud when i play his solo....

  • So what exactly does the bag do to the trumpet? The sound was not very different from a regular trumpet, perhaps a bit more mellow.

  • @mclaine33

    sorry, but you are mistaken. in the original transcript, it calls for the trumpet player to muffle, like with a bag

  • 8:40 Tuba guy's like, "I didn't do it!"

  • 5:11 all THE WAY

  • Truly amazing piece. But I have to admit, North Korea is an awkward place to play American music in...

  • amazing comments: appears they are originating from music afficiados or endocturnated radicals itching for a fight.

  • Was waiting for the nationalists to burn the American flags. Such an impressive performance; such a -dangerous- venue.

  • For you trumpet players that are listening to this to learn the excerpts - primarily the dance solos - notice that Phil's rubato fits into the rest of the orchestra. It is in line with what Maazel is conducting. Just a thought.
