Apr 10, 2010 - I'm sorry, I find it pretty amusing that anyone has a personal problem giving Bud his due. Even you naysayers know (although you won't let on in this forum) that Bud is one of , if not the finest orchestral trumpeters that has ever lived. And yes, do your self a favor and buy a Bach.

Apr 17, 2010 - the reason all classical trumpet in america is german style is because herseth was such a monumental player that the french style got completely thrown out of the window, sorry voisin. But he is the best because he was so good you couldn't not try and play like him

Jun 5, 2010 - Herseth was trained in the french tradition. Before him the C trumpet was not used much in playing orchestral music, except by french style players. If the piece was German, he played it with a German style. But his playing is often far from the traditional German style.

InfiniteMomentStudio Says:

Jun 13, 2010 - crap, we're going to be playing this next year!

TrompetteSpielen Says:

Jun 24, 2010 - As my 100 year old Aunt once said about the very difficult piano composition, "Moonlight on the Hudson", "I've been practicing this piece for 50 years, and still can't play it ... Every time I watch this video, I marvel at the incredible longevity of Adolph Herseth, and his enduring mastery of the art of trumpet playing. Inspiring ...

Jul 10, 2010 - and the trombone part at 8:01 woops ass too

Jul 17, 2010 - David Robertson of the St. Louis Phill showed Susan Slaughter the same respect this season in her 40th year and retirement year, when conducting the season opener of Mahler 5.

cschalz Says:

Jul 25, 2010 - this was the excerpt I played to get into CYSO when I was younger, and I always wanted it to sound like Herseth. There is no one who could triple tongue yet maintain such a rich tone like him.

Jul 28, 2010 - What a brilliant powerhouse! And Barenboin ensures this is entertaining for everyone!
