I don't know about you, but my Monday could sure use a video of Leonard Bernstein conducting the Vienna Philharmonic doing Mahler's First Symphony. This is simply breathtaking stuff. Enjoy!
This is taken from the Great Performances series on PBS so both the audio and the video are top quality. The Chicago Symphony brass section really leaves me in awe every time I hear them these days. Gene Pokorny is of course one of my heroes and sounds really great as always on this recording. But it really is the trumpet section that keeps grabbing my attention. There is not a first trumpet in any orchestra in the world that I am currently more fond of than Chris Martin. His tone is just unreal! The blend that the entire section gets is truly remarkable.
In fact, I recently wrote about my experience playing with the Chicago Symphony's Tage Larsen while we were both in the Dallas Brass. The whole brass section sounds amazing and I love me some Mahler!
Enjoy!
