Don Pasquale Trumpet Solo-Esteban Batallán

[@Jaegertiger]

This excerpt IS an Aria written exclusively for trumpet... and Esteban plays just like a Mezzo-Soprano would SING it... with all of the emotion, expressiveness, and LEGATO phrasing that a well-trained opera singer would bring to the performance. But instead, he brings it to US from within the orchestral pit. What he recognizes MOST is that he MUST parallel EVERYTHING that is happening on stage with all of the refinement and subtleties of the human voice, including the breathing, the phrasing, and the feeling of the moment. It is not an excerpt to be merely "played." It is an opportunity to reinforce even further, the beauty and passion that Donizetti is portraying on stage.
