I grew up a fan of the CSO beginning in the Reiner era. Herseth was always a linchpin of the orchestra. I've watched this interview many times, and the part that I find most revealing is near the end when he says his peak experience is playing world class music in a world class orchestra. Interestingly, the compositions he mentions include some of my favorites: Beethoven 3, Mahler 1, and Bruckner 7. Herseth definitely knew his world class music.

Typical sloppy brass playing in the old NY Phil. I am proud to say I own only 1 Bernstein recording with them, (Shostakovich 5), not because it is great or definitive, but I wanted to learn the piece and it was the best performance on disc at the time.

I heard a story about Fritz Reiner making Herseth repeat a passage (opening solo in Mahler 5?) several times and addressing him as "Mr. Trumpet." Finally Herseth had enough and repeated the passage several times, taking it up to a higher key each time. When he stopped, he said, "My name is Adolph Herseth, and I can do this all day." Is this a myth, and if it is true, can someone fill in the details?

This interview is so “cringe”, as they say, but at least it shows the humanity of the man, if not highlighting his greatest career accomplishments. It’s impossible to measure the impact that he had on the entire brass (not just the trumpet) community with his sound and musicianship. One of the most remarkable things to me was his relative lack (by today’s social media standards) of ego. Of course, he was a massive star in the brass world at the time, but he spent the entire interview talking about the people around him that shaped his personal and musical life, instead of himself. How times have changed 180 degrees from the people that we now make “famous”.

After grad school, I was playing euphonium in John Paynter's North Shore band in Wilmette when one of the trombone players asked if I would be interested in playing in a brass ensemble on Easter Sunday at a church in the western suburbs. I said I'd be happy to, and he said that it should be "ok," even though it was not a regular ensemble. When I arrived, imagine my surprise when Bud Herseth, the perennial principal trumpet in the CSO, sat down in the group! For this economics major from Michigan, it was your basic once in a lifetime event. I don't think I have ever sat up that straight in the almost 50 years since! Oh, and the gig was indeed "ok"...

Mr. Ponce is extremely intelligent, he has a law degree from the University of Michigan and a journalist degree from Loyola, many awards, and a wide array of personal interests, playing trumpet is one of them. He asks questions not to show off his intelligence, but ones he believes the audience would be interested to know.

Going by what many of fellow musicians and conductors who knew him have said over the years. There is no other musician more dedicated to his instrument, the music, and the orchestra than Mr. Herself was. He could be outspoken, strong willed, and didn't suffer fools. He was dedicated to excellence and expected those around him to play their very best at all times, which rubbed a few of his fellow musicians the wrong way, those that had a more casual attitude toward preparation for of a piece and practice. It is said he never turned down a fellow musician who came to him for help. Many times a trumpeter from another orchestra would fly in for a day or two to go to Mr. Herseth's Oak Park home for some coaching, he said he never charged a dime, it was the duty of older musicians to pass on to the next generation. Arrogant? Perhaps. While he did appreciate the adoration by his fans, he was never about himself, he lived and breathed for the orchestra and music. He was a huge influence on the sound of not only the high brass section, but also on the whole CSO orchestra. He is not the only one of course, there were and are many names within the orchestra that have led and pushed their colleagues to excel. Bud Herseth once said that tradition in the CSO goes back to the days of Frederick Stock.
