Thanks for posting the times!

[@tulkasetorome]

Not only some of the finest musicians in the world, but some of the greatest people you will ever meet. Well done, gentlemen.

[@TheMrAshley2010]

I had the good fortune of studying with James Mattern when I was in high school, and then playing his quintet with excellent musicians in college and after. I probably haven't heard this piece in over 35 years. It was great to get reacquainted with it!

[@jwhill7]

It is, perhaps, hard to imagine, for someone who has never tried it, how much of a test of endurance it is to play an hour of brass quintet music, without intermission.

[@davegingrich8642]

The Shostakovich! Bravo!!!

[@natalya9821]

Hello. Thank you from Moscow.

[@trumpetbrain7302]

Esteban is unreal... so much respect!

[@morabitobrass]

Song and Wind! Bravooooooooooooooooooo!

[@maryjahangir2318]

I thought the Suite Americana was intriguing! Such a great blend! Thank you!

[@mariosanchez-mq1qu]

! Que hermosa " involución de la involución " !. Que grandes Maestros de la música, usen los nobles templos para que sus ondas sonoras resuenen para un publico selecto en persona y en KZbin. ..sin temor a equivocarme, hasta los querubines artesanales..................!!!!! POR FIN SONREIRÁN !!!!. Saludos de " un emigrante con el alma emigrada hacia aquel templo " y El Yo Mio de Mi Mismo ya retornando de la selva de cemento a la selva de flores y cantos de aves ignotas : Ecuadorsito.

[@megaohmaudio5963]

I loved the Zamba Gaucha from the Suite Americana! Thanks for introducing me to this work.

[@holton345]

That sound! I love it! Bravo, gentlemen! Bravo, Northern! Love the York in the quintet setting!

[@heikowoehler7848]

Well done! 👍

[@rapidrrobert4333]

Bud would smile.

[@Jaegertiger]

Bud IS smiling, because Estaban is playing at least one of Bud's Mt Vernon's Strads... for sure Bud's C trpt.

[@tabbywarrior]

How on earth is that just 5 people?

[@brucekuehn4031]

Music begins - 15:55

[@Jaegertiger]

Estaban is in a class unto himself. His delivery never disappoints. I seriously believe, he is the BEST orchestral trumpet player in the USA -- better than Chris Martin. What I like about him so much is that he is OLD SCHOOL.... no messing around and take your instrument SERIOUSLY.

[@user-rn1lb8sx2c]

I agree with your opinion. I don’t like name dropping though, don’t discredit other players

[@yosserc]

"Better than!" Are you a school kid? Keep your trite evaluations to yourself and enjoy the music WITHOUT comparisons.

[@greencoffee4643]

Начало 15:20

[@DianeJB75]

Who’s the person introducing the players? Sounds like a fellow Kiwi. Maybe the trombone player too?

[@brucekuehn4031]

Michael Mulcahy on trombone. You were close - born in Sydney.

[@DianeJB75]

Yes I had thought the trombone player was maybe Australian and then found he was, but the person who introduced them was surely a Kiwi?

[@marybethdietrick79]

The introducer's name is Robbie Ellis and he works for radio station WMFT. He is from New Zealand.
