John Williams’s “Fanfare for Solo Trumpet To Celebrate the Reopening of David Geffen Hall”

[@SnowyEgret1]

Love hearing the continued evolution of his sound. It's even more present, smooth, and a slightly different shade of vibrato in color from his days in Chicago. Incredible player!

[@JohnKutzman]

This composer has had intriguing, career-long impact on how we expect the trumpet to sound.

[@alantolbert717]

And just like that, David Geffen sold the naming rights of the hall to Chris Martin.

[@j.s.hopkins369]

Those descending intervals are transcendant.

Authority - excitement - abandon! Wonderful playing, Chris!

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Chris is another principal trumpet in a long line of great musicians. He sounds really good here.

[@benjaminstock5334]

What wonderful acoustics in a room that is still under construction!

[@WhalerGA]

Thank you, Chris . . . and of course, John Williams.

I've been building workbenches out of wood scraps from this project, it's exciting to see/hear it coming along

[@Customgamer9]

thanks chris, almost forgot i was an amateur for a moment

[@briansokoloff2434]

This is the musical equivalent of breaking in a new baseball glove.

[@jttrumpet55]

Wonderful performance! Anyone here know when and where the sheet music will be available?

[@itamarbar9580]

It sounds that John Williams is going in a new harmonic direction!

[@jessemoog5310]

What makes you say that?

[@bkkershner]

Christopher Martin is a master of his instrument and a consummate artist.

[@jimwilt4944]

Bravo, Chris!

[@josezarzo2607]

Bravisimo Christopher Martin! Fantastic playing 👏👏👏! Really Hope the new David Geffen Hall will be the hall the NY Philharmonic deserves!

[@michaelvelardi7497]

Great job Chris

[@kraken138]

Terrific!

[@cronsell]

Awesome 🥰

[@abazeenie]

Love this!

[@MrKeithterrett]

What a wonderful player, love this new work by John Williams brilliantly performed by Christopher Martin, wow! Would love to hear him perform my solo The Gypsy Trumpeter in New Orleans. The NY Phil performed my arrangement of the Ukrainian National Anthem recently. Mr Martin, may I send you a copy of my solo for Trumpet & Piano?

[@meheaton1]

This hall should have been renamed: LEONARD BERNSTEIN HALL after the man that actually had a huge impact on music in New York and Lincoln Center

[@horsemeattball]

It's appalling that a corporate jerk like David Geffen, who has little or nothing to do with classical artists, gets to have the hall bear his name. This is not a sports stadium. There should be no such thing as "naming rights"

[@scottallen8950]

@@horsemeattball It will always be Avery Ficher Hall to me...

[@tishtashtishtash]

If you’ve got the dough …

[@mikiegood]

Were you my roommate at HSS? Great playing!!

[@AdenosinePush]

I didn't think I'd ever see Chris in a hard hat. Huh. He sounds technically flawless as usual...
