Arnold Jacob's sound is to die for

[@jonathanwenas6932]

***** phrasing and tone perfection

[@brightidea48]

I had a lesson with Arnold Jacobs in the 60s.

[@una4all1]

Yes, I had no idea he was part of CSO, just knew that the tuba always sounds amazing...always present and such a full resonant sound

[@salomone5765]

Jonathan Wenas it's pretty amazing

[@adude394]

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.

Best recording ever.

[@holzgasse9214]

Legendary and outstanding in every respect. But I also love the following interpretation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWqaoqmbo6pmhKc

[@kirkstitt5184]

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

[@gregoryetzel9570]

I am a member of the River Valley Brass Quintet based in Peoria, IL, and we love working on and performing this piece! We also have numbers 2,3.

[@nboehm8410]

The best of the best. Absolutely outstanding.

[@RW-ob4en]

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…

[@dkronenberger]

The Best Brass Quintet

[@bevaconme]

i heard these boys do this live, in the spring of 1970, at northwestern, although i think the horn player must have been frank brouk. but it was bud on top and jake on the bottom, no mistake about that.

[@visiblethought]

I think the horn player may have been either Dale Clevenger or Phil Farkas.

[@visiblethought]

Could have been Jay Friedman on trombone…

[@bevaconme]

@@visiblethought not clevenger when i heard them live, and farkas was already long gone by 1966.

[@hiroshitokumaru6268]

8:16 - SOUND

[@allwinds3786]

I recognize the background of the picture of Bud at three and a half minutes.I believe it was taken on the 8th floor of 529 South Wabash, the old Schilke factory.

[@elijahramirez2829]

This is amazing, the thing that amazes yer confuses me is this one question, how are these videos made, so Many people from so many places all in one video, do they send in videos, how is this done, what is the process, I jave seen many videos like this, but never did I get to know how they are made....?

[@hunterwilhelm]

A wonderful recording. Is Mr Jacobs on his York here?

[@nickadkins5679]

nah its probably an F tuba.

[@swanben11]

I can't say for sure, but I've definitely read somewhere that he usually played on his York in quintet.

[@DaveBurnett97]

Jacobs is almost definitely playing the York here. He was famous for almost never using F tubas, preferring to use (on occasion) a very small C tuba over playing F.

[@ThePumpkin506]

Cameron Farnsworth definitely York my guy

[@TrumpetManinNC]

@@DaveBurnett97 Probably because he only had half a lung...
