AWESOME Massimo La Rosa playing Mahler 3 LIVE

I snuck a recording of Massimo La Rosa playing Mahler 3 with the Cleveland Orchestra. He sounded amazing. His softs were so soft and his louds were so powerful. It was a great concert and the whole low brass section sounded great. This is from October 2, 2015 at Severance Hall. The conductor was Franz Welser Most. Please share if you want to!

@@wardfrancesphd2142 Hey man, you alright? You're in the comments of every video of La Rosa casting aspersions. I disagree that this is an average performance; it's certainly better than many I've heard. Regardless of the man's personal character he is a talented trombonist.

@@dnarbredlih better than a lot yeah... Still not OK for my taste... It's almost impossible to find a really good one... Andrea Conti has a couple of them, maybe bousfield... The problem with this one is the vibrato I hear which I don't like... But nonetheless a very good solo

This is the best recording of this excerpt ever made. No loud brassy shit just clear and powerful. It sounds loud but not brassy or like a huge fart. He is certainly top-notch and a shame he has a tarnished reputation. In my opinion, this is the best recording of this excerpt. I actually cried at 3:33. It is so beautiful.

Complimenti maestro!!!

Bravo! Finally, someone with skill, endurance, control, power, resonance and musicianship has been captured performing this challenging set of otherwise and typically flatulent solo passages, played musically and with the power and authority that Mahler intended in a live performance. This is the best 'captured' performance ever. There is no hint of the usual long-session (in recording), volume-induced, multiple-take fatigue that plagues every recording I know of. Now I'm curious if this is a confluence of super-human strength and talent typical of this performer, or recording session good-fortune and timing. Either way, Bravo! It's high time someone was recorded nailing it outside of the rehearsal/practice room.

Absolutely stunning playing from Massimo La Rosa. Bravo! Very sorry to hear about what happened to him leaving the orchestra.
