I was allowed to use this sound source for the video of the 5th anniversary of the Hong Kong demonstration.

Yep...that's how me and my buddy play it.

Love Frank Crisafulli playing 🪄

Beautiful rendition! Thank you for that!

Very nicely played. I have spent many hours working on playing this well, so I know you played it well.

That painting must be worth a fortune today.

Where you at now hope not in jail God bless

Dickinson is one of the cockiest, most annoying players to ever do it. Doesn’t surprise me a bum like you would be defending him lol. How’d missing the nit go this year?

He was a tyrant who bullied his section, but also an outstanding player. Cognitive dissonance needed.

Thanks for supporting HK! Fight for freedom! Free Hong Kong!

My favorite romantic era work for brass quintet and the best performing it.

Hello @loudlong, is it possible to get the sheet music of this piece?

5:21

Trigger warning be advised Do people not hear how much better he sounds than what is in the symphony today? A lot of these players today seem to have no clue what music is about. And I'm not of Herseth's generation, not by a long shot. I'm not biased against the current crop of players but it should be obvious, just listening to this, that something is definitely missing in today's symphony. The expression is just is not there. This guy was not just great but he was maybe the apex. It's not true that things just magically get better over time. Sometimes what was done in the past cannot be matched.

Sounds "tinny" and way too fast

Vince Cichowicz gave me the entire recording of this which performance I believe was intended for radio broadcast. Have it in CD and backed up several x. What a dear man…

Not the best but we’ll done!

Bravo

Man, that STELLAR 'cello solo by the legendary Frank Miller at the 6:40 mark - none better!!!! I too heard that this was an unplanned/unrehearsed recording. Back when the CSO was almost untouchable....RIP guys!!!!!

Wow, you have some serious endurance, my man. Even though you actually played it a whole step higher than intended (written for B-flat trumpet), you were able to make it seem effortless and quite beautiful! Kudos!

We throw around the word "legend" too liberally these days. But in the case of Mr. Herseth, it's absolutely accurate. I had the pleasure/privilege of attending countless CSO concerts when I lived in the Chicago area during the height of the Solti era. The entire orchestra was brilliant, but the brass section was in a class by itself. Mr. Herseth's tenure and legacy are simply astonishing, and the high standards of playing he demonstrated, no matter the piece or style, should be an inspiration to any musician. The immortal LA studio French horn player Vince DeRosa is one of the few other musicians I can think of who maintained such an incredible level of playing for such a long time. God bless them both!

I was lucky enough to live in the Chicago area during the height of the Solti era, and had the pleasure of hearing Bud Herseth, Dick Oldberg, Frank Crisafulli, and Arnie Jacobs in concert countless times. (Chichowicz had retired from the CSO by then and was focusing on teaching at Northwestern.) The entire orchestra was and is a phenomenal band, but the brass section in particular was on a whole other level. Extraordinary musicality, extraordinary technique, and that wall of sound they could produce with no apparent effort (except for Herseth's red face) was just incredible. I got to hear them perform a lot of my favorite pieces: Most of the Mahler symphonies, Bruckner 4 and 7, all of the Brahms symphonies, Beethoven 9, The Rite of Spring, the list goes on. Wonderful memories.

In the humble opinion of this Yank trumpet player, this performance is one of the best versions I’ve heard. Well done!

beautiful

Thank you.

Just great ❤️❤️
