Philip Smith, trumpet.
Joseph Turrin, piano.

[@greeneguy6297]

As if his beautiful tone and impeccable articulation wasn't enough, he had to show off with that obscene ending. Phil and I could never be friends.

[@owenland7978]

His tone is so good it gives me chills

[@gordengent5642]

Me too!!!

[@BelCantoization]

His every note is lovely. It takes a beautiful tone to make even long tones a piece of art.

[@tubaornottubae]

Wonderful rendition of a Clarke classic by a master cornet soloist and his good friend, composer Joseph Turrin at the piano.

[@Liam12712]

First of all: His tone is so good because he is playing on cornet. Second of all: This is random but I recently took a private lesson with Phil Smith and I was able to get an autograph.

[@enrycancy2621]

wowwww esecuzione perfetta! preciso,pulito edi carattere, eccellente!!

[@scottlivezey9479]

Nice touch at the end....reaching an F on demand was a rare occasion for me.

[@scottlivezey9479]

Jared Profenna agreed. In my prime endurance years that were better than most, a reliable range this high always escaped me for live performances. I’m probably too old to ever figure it out, but embouchure (actually tongue shaping) techniques specific to creating extra high range seem to have surfaced in recent years.

[@us-Bahn]

Blistering. From all those days playing in the Sally Army Band!

[@MrPoupard]

... these recordings date from around 1974 and were issued on the American Nonsuch label at a time when Schwartz was co-principal to William Vacchiano in the New York Phil.

[@meat.]

Thank you for letting us know about it. That recording is truly special.

[@bradstewart7007]

Wow, I was just thinking he sounds a lot like Gerry Schwarz on Cornet Favorites.

[@robgrune3284]

EXCELLENT!! great tone, technique, phrasing.

[@JazzyUnderscoreTrumpeter]

Ah, a man of culture, I see... Much respect.

[@collingray7729]

Ah a man of culture

[@vanjakranjec9226]

Ah he is really a man of culture, much respect, but when he plays above middle c he is a little bit out of tune like his pitch goes a little bit sharp, we can hear it at 2:23 those Bb, which is a little bit out of tune.

you are crazy. estas loco . que hermoso sonido

[@us-Bahn]

Impeccable & virtuosic. But in some way hard to define, Gerard Schwarz’s recording is masterful.

[@jarensmith1609]

Imo, this has so much Rubato for me to enjoy. But doesn't taste away from the insane triple tonguing and amazing tone

[@user-uu8dc7gu6e]

綺麗、、

[@MrPoupard]

Fine playing but for me the definitive recording of the Herbert Clarke cornet solos will forever remains Gerard Schwartz (now a distinguished conductor) on cornet with William Bolcom (now a distinguished composer accompanying on piano. These recordings

[@meat.]

MrPoupard you’re right. The Gerard Schwartz recording of this is completely stunning and on another level with the nuance

[@MrPoupard]

@@meat. Schwartz's recording of The Debutante on that record till knocks me sideways - 46 years later!

[@dnel8419]

Can i sample you

[@PedroDedoenlaMano]

not really. cautious, slow paced, and dedicated practice will bring up results in no time. It is a matter of letting the tongue move lightly without interrupting the flow of air. The tongue should not obstruct air or become an obstacle.

[@JazzyUnderscoreTrumpeter]

'Cause it was...lol

[@jorgecallico9177]

Adam, I'm always glad to hear high notes. Esp since my accident last summer. Injured my mouth and I'm freaking re-learning my embouchure from scratch!! Its probably the best thing for my playing but it has been a huge disappointment to lose my whole beautiful upper register!! Prior to the accident last August I had command of everthing up to a high G. Or one whole step above Smith's last note... But after the injury? I couldn't play my regular way... All of my upper register inc that beautiful high G was just freakin gone... But today my new embouchure improves daily.

[@DillonM-mc6yw]

Jorge Callico I recently had to reset my embouchure as well. I played with almost entirely bottom lip. My rang dropped drastically but it’s slowly coming back, and my tone has gotten pretty good.

[@christianmclaughlin8945]

Oh this looks easy...oh

[@ricardojaredcarrascogarcia4043]

I can touch the piece

[@nicorkydude]

Haha

[@milliewx1679]

This is a grade 2 in Texas :(

[@karlrovey]

Same with Missouri. It is also too short to play it on its own. It's not one of Clarke's most advanced or difficult compositions. Compare it to Bride of the Waves, Debutante, The Southern Cross... Etc.

vous jouez très bien mais c'est loin d'être un chef d'oeuvre .Plutot une pièce pour le conservatoire.Malheureusement les concertos pour trompettes de qualité sont rares Sinon bravo S'il n'avait pas eu maurice andre et ses transcriptions pour trompette piccolo le répertoire serait bien mince contrairement au cor en soliste et en musique de chambre voir mozart
