Vienna Philharmonic Fanfare (performed by VPO brass section!)

This is a performance of the Vienna Philharmonic Fanfare by Richard Strauss at the Wiener Philharmoniker Ball in January 2011. The video was taken from a perspective behind me as we played the fanfare for the entry of the dignitaries and debutantes. It was the 70th anniversary of the Ball, and we had a a great time playing it. If you listen closely, you'll hear something I'm proud of... I play the famous low E-flat to high E-flat horn lick at the end of the 2nd time through. :)

The brass section you see in the video is mostly VPO brass players with some substitutes. To my left is Mark Gaal and in the row in front of me all the way to the left is Dietmar Küblböck.

Enjoy!

By the way Jeremy, this recording as been in my head CONSTANTLY since I first saw it!

I'm going to have to find a score to this puppy; )

The sheer fact that a member of the Vienna Philharmonic, a young American trombonist no less, is posting a video on YouTube is incredible. So few do this, and yet you're one. Thank you. I hope for more videos. :)

Jeremy,

Truly enjoyed the performance tonight at North Texas. Keep the amazing music flowing. Also Strauss is a bad ass.

Music played like this is the reason that I've had so much trouble advancing myself as a brass musician. I want so badly to play with this kind of power, but I often forget that what enables you to do that is practicing very, very quietly. Truly glorious music. It just makes me want to cry, laugh, and scream all at the same time.

Great Vid! I love the poor people sitting infront of the Blast Fest! Good seats!!

to do is honestly critique your product. Nobody can make your product better than you.

[brenthauer]

my dci show was a lot of fun, and i loved being on the road that summer. But if i am truly honest with myself, our musical product wasn't what it could have been. Having that real honesty with yourself about what you are producing is the only way to take your craft to a higher level. I hope you learn that some day because not everyone is going to like what you present to them. As long as you trust that you put your entire heart and soul into your music then the only thing left for you

@TheARJ15 relax man. you didn't say it, but lolcunts specifically said that your band played it better, and its just simply not true. i believe you worked very hard, i was in high school marching band and also marched in dci, so i know what its like to perfect a show. but you still have to be realistic.
