Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov: Concerto for trombone

Performed by: Carsten Svanberg

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

This is a very fine performance in every way. I must confess that I prefer the piece as written by the composer…that is, without all of the octave displacements. But I understand the player’s desire to show off his high range. This is all reflected in the Davis Shuman edition of the solo part. The original can be downloaded from IMSLP. My preferred recording, due to the general Russian panache and style, can be found on the old EMI/Melodiya LP, later a Chante du Monde CD, of Victor Batashov playing with a Russian military band. We all have our tastes, but that is mine. You may like or dislike Batashov’s sound and style, but he plays the living daylights out of this piece.

Классное исполнение , но эти активные переносы звучат глуппо...

[@jonroskilly3983]

Absolutely beautiful playing, but I don't agree with the octave jumps. Once or twice is absolutely fine and within the realm of a virtuoso putting their own spin on a concerto; to the extent done here, it just feels a bit disrespectful of the composer's intentions.

[@jchomedog2887]

In the original score it allows the octave jump if you choose to play it. Korsakov wrote bass octave jump as an option and a lot of the newer editions have it lower on purpose to help students play the piece easier. It’s your choice, but the composer didn’t mind either interpretation as he wrote both options out.

[@volta6525]

@@jchomedog2887 ngl playing it in the lower octave is way harder

[@ExtremeRecluse]

Why do I hear so many players adding their own versions to each movement? Leave it ALONE!!!!!

[@montagne8820]

not a fan of interpretation i see.

[@jchomedog2887]

The original score allows it. Korsakov would approve as he wrote it.

That cadenza ruined the whole thing😣
