So fortunate to have my ears resonate from the sonorous sounds that came from that brass section

Fantastico Rafael Payare dirigendo e danzando il famosissimo Mambo di Bernstein con la Chicago Symphony Orchestra offre un vero saggio di bravura!

Trumpet going crazy doing that on c tpt

[@connorr.2768]

Did Charlie Vernon have a contrabass up there next to him? Or am I just going crazy?

[@jasondonnelly8059]

I looked up the program for this concert and they also played the Bartok Concerto for Orchestra. I assume he had it for the famous gliss in that piece?

[@binderbone]

@@jasondonnelly8059 Correct.

[@grpcrsh]

Where could I go and lookup previous programs? Thanks in advance!

[@leejoshu]
