Giuliano Sommerhalder - Telemann Concerto - Baroque trumpet

[@trumpeterchris]

Fantastic playing Giuliano!

[@johnkennett6013]

One of the best Trumpet players l have ever heard ,every note is clear and not rushed Very well done

[@右高弘明]

I thik so,as well. Wonderful！

[@anisuthideyakoindu]

This is the best performance of the most beautiful concerto ever written for trumpet!

[@f.sarastre7491]

Let the musically unintelligent accuse me of effusion. I shall battle them. This performance is world-class. Only those of us who know musicology can appreciate 1) how very difficult it is, to *compose* a melody as lyrical as that comprising the first movement, for valveless trumpet; and, 2) how beautifully Sommerhalder performs such melody -- plus authentic ornaments! The partnership brought tears to my eyes. The "Acid Test," however, is the finale. Sommerhalder rose to the occasion. The all-important passage containing the highest notes -- and symbolizing either transcendence (if well executed), or laughable failure (if ill played) -- was beautifully realized. Readings like this contribute to civilization: The best of *valve-trumpet* virtuosi, over the years, have not always performed so musically. The audience should be shouting, Bravo! -- not just clapping. Frankly, I never thought I would live long enough to hear the art of paying the natural trumpet see new life.

[@GiulianoSommerhalderTrumpet]

My most heartfelt thanks, this means a lot to me.

[@mikeggg5671]

As a trombonist, I am stunned - this instrument has neither keys nor slide. That is all lip work, like a bugle! Wow.

[@jimmythetrumpet3632]

Almost all lip work. Luckily these days we have vent holes to make notes a little more stable and in tune.

[@DaviSilva-oc7iv]

I know it's not always completely in tune but I don't care, this is still very beautiful and I like what the natural trumpet can do.

[@mariamadarova1781]

it is beautiful

[@eriknystrom5839]

Here is one recording of the adagio on a natural baroque trumpet without vent-holes, kzbin.info/www/bejne/fai6l3Wehr6tm7c

très belle interprétation du concerto de Télémann sur trompette historique ! quelle facilité : BRAVO Giulano ! Guy Touvron

[@LawrencedeMartin]

I thought it was impossible to achieve this technical perfection on a Baroque instrument! Bravo!

[@claesmansson9070]

Ever heard of Stradivarius etc., organs?????

[@darrenmoore90]

Congratulations on a fantastic performance! Love the creativity in the ornaments and the musical shapes

[@norbertgreiner8146]

Grandios. Ein phantastischer Vortrag❤

[@richtraube2241]

Superb playing. What clarity. The embellishments and articulations are so rhythmic. The dynamic contrasts are brilliant.

[@andan0therthing]

This is superb! I enjoyed it very much. More please!

[@mhstpt]

I agree with Ole, Giuliano, You are such a gifted young player. our dedication to the craft and all those long hours have clearly paid off for you! Bravo!

[@francisallenby7400]

Sembra quasi di aver preso la mitica macchina del tempo ed essere tornati indietro all'epoca in cui queste note struggenti, uniche, evocative ed irripetibili furono scritte da un immortale compositore. La tromba barocca non esiste più come mero strumento, ma diviene materia viva e pulsante nelle mani di un virtuoso dal talento immenso come Giuliano Sommerhalder: lo stesso talento che distinse, come per esempio per la chitarra e il piano, Andres Segovia ed Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. Maestro, ritengo un onore essere suo contemporaneo, aver avuto il piacere di essere rapito dalla sua musica ed aver provato estasi e commozione profonda per come ella sa dare sentimento e calore ad un altrimenti freddo ottone: perché è chi suona, chi esegue che sa dare valore e importanza al tramite della sua esecuzione. Ed allora una tromba, frutto dell'artigianato sapiente di chi tramanda questa tradizione da secoli, si trasforma in qualcosa di magico, di fatato, che riesce a far nascere emozioni profonde. Grazie Maestro.

𝑸𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚...... most divine music.... humbled by this virtuosic beauty!

[@SuperPachelbel]

MAGNIFICO Y RECONFORTANTE SONIDO BARROCO. ¡¡BRAVOOO!!!

[@HelenaWilliams8696]

G. Sommerhalder Trumpet performing Telemann's Concerto in D major is performed with technical proficiency, the precision of intonation, phrasing and rhythmical effect interacting a harmonious contrast with the orchestra. I agreed with the comments from M. Ström, Sommerhalder did an unsurpassed performance!

[@elizabethzumbrun7513]

This is phenomenal!!!! How is this even possible? I dream of playing like this!

[@TeleBachHand]

one cannot but be 'stirred up' by such incredible sounds!

[@marianoalvesdemoraesmoraes2100]

Belissimo concerto de Teleman. Toca fundo na Alma

[@TenorCantusFirmus]

Superb concerto and performance.

[@Ribozyme]

Magnificent playing!

[@redbrian3655]

I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to your performances. Truly magnificent.

[@Wermen]

¡Grande Giuliano!

[@mspg2]

love the embellishments in the first movement

[@quietstreams3799]

i,m getting chills! so beautiful!

[@pogotard]

This is just unbelievable. I played trumpet for 10 years. Way long ago I went to All State Band in Washington State. Yet I have no idea whatsoever what this man and this orchestra are doing. Except, of course, making the most beautiful music! Unbelievable, indeed!

[@claudi.o]

Bellisima música y excelente interpretación.

[@bigowl9408]

A clear and weighty change in the rise and fall of scale. Nicely done. I shall not hesitate to hear this version again.

[@leocapezzuto]

Complimenti!! Uno dei pochi ai quali sento suonare delle diminuzioni. Forse le crome andrebbero suonate ineguali. Chapeau

[@frankwewers5819]

I agree. Fantastic, beautiful music

[@riccardosiega]

davvero una superba esecuzione. Sommerhalder è un grande artista!!

[@OrchestrationOnline]

Superb, Giuliano!

[@gregorybrouckaert3858]

The sounds... So clean... So effortless...

[@MrFrankManfred]

Ein hervorragender Solist mit einem wunderschönen Ton auf der Barocktrompete !!

[@thomassvik1462]

Incredible! You are really a master of the baroque trumpet, and i really like your phrasing!

[@adolfoclaudiolazary8539]

Que fraseo , que estilo ...Gracias Saludos

[@bertcarter6176]

Just amazing!

[@skymarshallmarz5573]

His trills are spot on, probably better than about anyone i have heard. Almost sounds like a modern piccolo trill.

[@jallen9674]

Good grief, I just stumbled upon this. The lip trills (with dynamics), intonation, general awesomeness. Wow, orders of magnitude more impressive on a natural trumpet, what an amazing performance.

[@nahatsu]

Such a virtuosic performance; great joy and the light of music is singing through my soul....[`Salutes]

[@alonshofar]

Music from Heaven!

[@Alejandro_Vera]

¡Espectacular!

[@ChristopherColetti]

Wow. Amazing performance!

[@autovonkleist]

Assolutamente sorprendente...e che padronanza ! Meglio di tanti celebrati trombettisti

[@remybecute]

Virtuoso performances from soloist and orchestra.

[@saorikataoka]

I just really love every minute of this video! bravo.

[@cantusfirmusbecker7825]

Bravo, bravissimo! Was soll man sonst dazu sagen!

[@tompussina]

Al di là dei virtuosismi, al di là delle ostentazioni, al di là di ogni esibizionismo c'è la musica e solo la musica. Giuliano, che io seguo ormai da vari anni attraverso You Tube, è il vero capolavoro dell'arte di suonare la tromba. Bravissimo col più grande punto esclamativo! Un esempio da seguire per tutti quei trombettisti che, pur bravissimi (e magari più famosi), non sono musicisti del suo livello.

[@swissmochaj]

@2:00- 2:10 amazing. So is the whole piece who am i kidding

[@MarkusTrompete]

That's just awesome!

[@ojtrumpet]

If Telemann had heard this he would have been very pleased!

[@fedecot89]

Bellissimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Naturton1234]

Great job!!! I like the variations in comparison to the original concert!!!

[@obrcht]

Telemann is second to....... Oh heck! How can I be an accountant when I'm this inspired.

[@jackhousman6637]

I know what you mean. GPT and Haydn are my two first choices when I need my spirits raised.

[@josephkorsakov1531]

Bellísimo.

[@jrdscrgn]

There are small air vents that help intonation on certain pitches. No valves.

[@allegro239]

Великолепно маэстро, на барочной трубе это звучит здорово!!!!!

[@alessandroferrari194]

bravissimo!!

[@edmundleblanc9508]

Bravo

[@talvela100]

Incantevole! L'incipit deve essere stata di ispirazione a Fabrizio De Andre'...

[@DedEer12]

In late 70's I studied in Cracow (Poland) - traditional bugle call is stlll played at noon for almost 7 centuries from lower tower of Mariacka Bazylika which is situated on the Market Place. Imagine this concerto played in this manner: soloist on the top of the tower and a rest of the orchestra under renaissance arcade of the market hall......amazing suz.digitaleschulebayern.de/deutsch/textverstaendnis/krakau.jpg

[@paolotrettel]

grandissimo!

[@Artariastein]

Klasse! Ich denke, das hätte auch Georg-Philipp und Maurice sehr gefallen...:-)

[@JoseMartinez-vi6tv]

Grande!!!!!

[@JonAhlquist]

I have a question for Mr Sommerhalder or for anyone who has played this piece on a natural trumpet. Most concerti have three movements; this one has four. The extra movement (mvt 3, Grave, 4:30) is unique in my experience because the soloist never plays even one note. While Telemann may have done this to be different, did he do this to give the soloist a rest from the challenges in the other movements?

[@adam_zs8292]

💓💓💓💓💓!!!!

[@enzotrumpet]

brividiiiiii

[@pucknanimal]

There's what's called nodal tone holes which the trumpeter uses to change his notes. It's not a "natural" baroque trumpet where the trumpet player would use his embouchure to achieve the notes needed.

[@guyjclark]

No, the holes merely help adjust the pitch of certain notes to match the modern tempered scale. Without the holes the player has to try to force the instrument away from its own set of pitches. All notes are selected by the player's body (embrochure, oral cavity, throat, and lungs). If you like to hear certain notes sound "funky" and out of tune, then listen to someone with an unvented natural trumpet. I have both types, and audiences overwhelmingly prefer the vented horn.

[@warrenabaxter]

Epic.

[@中村明-c3e]

バロックトランペット、いい音だなあ。

[@npapineau]

WOW

[@anastasiamcguire1617]

Amazing!!!

[@jy221series4]

Anastasia McGuire its a baroque trumpet

[@mistersir3020]

I was like huh?! is he playbacking? But it's the echoes that continue on while he is breathing in! :)

[@eniotnayssaneb3442]

quel dommage que la qualité d'enregistrement ne soit pas à la hauteur de la qualité d'interprétation

[@MaxAmerica.Freedom]

Does that trumpet have holes or buttons? He keeps moving his fingers on his right hand.

[@BuzzVenturion]

Precisely placed "vent holes" help the performer to adjust a few certain pitches (aka "partials") of the harmonic series (esp. 7, 11 & 13) to align more pleasingly in tune to the expected chord structure of the composition, which typically will be performed more or less close to "equal temperament". Most people listening to music of the Western tradition will have long been accustomed to hearing and feeling equal temperament as acceptable, normal and beautiful. However, on a vibrating air column, such as with a trumpet, these unadjusted partials will naturally "slot", or place themselves, "in the cracks" between the prevailing diatonic notes of the tempered musical scale. For example, on an instrument pitched in C (because of its specific length) an 11th partial F is annoyingly too sharp, but as an F# it is heard as sadly too flat. Some performers take tremendous pride in themselves for their long-practiced and hard-won ability to precisely micro-adjust these pitches solely through embouchure, tongue and breath control on instruments built without vent holes. It is indeed an amazing, uncanny technical skill, quite beautiful to hear and to behold. Even so, many commentators and armchair experts feel it is their sacred duty to decry the use of vented trumpets as a modern abomination, as a weak-willed, hypocritical if not outright fraudulent concession to convenience and intonation, an ahistorical chimera posing as authentic when nothing could be further from the truth, and relentlessly insisting upon the fine and oh-so-necessary distinction between vented baroque trumpets and vent-less natural trumpets, and all but calling for the vented trumpet player immediately to cease and desist, to prostrate in abject supplication before GAWD A'mighty, and to willingly accept all forms of abuse, scorn and humiliation, and to banish him/herself from ever holding with two hands even a facsimile of a trumpet ever again. In other words, "Go take up clarinet" or something. More often than not, for these partisan malcontents, the actual music being performed is scarcely acknowledged and apparently neither appreciated nor enjoyed for the inspiring beauty of sound that it is. The reason for their withering comments appears to be more about establishing, or flaunting, their erudition, superior judgment and highly refined taste (to whom one can only guess, but _it is_ narcissistic after all). It is also the arrogance of aberrant competitiveness, of ego, of prideful one-up-man-ship, a ludicrous tempest within a teapot. One would suppose that composers should only use inkpots and quill pens, all pianos be dismantled and replaced by clavichords and the like. I understand that insofar as electric lighting is a fairly new thing, we better quickly go back to candles and paraffin lamps.

[@trinkamarc]

penso che Telemann mentre lo scriveva era questo che pensava!
