[@zackmacomber]

Love it. I'm a double bassist and love and appreciate my low end siblings in the brass section. Wish I could upvote many times

[@tobysimard9638]

Us low brass people love you guys too!

[@MuescoreMaestro]

I've definitely thought about trying Double Bass as a tubist, it looks so cool

[@ianmintz12806]

Yeah, those low sounding instruments are awesome. Whether it’s the cello, the double bass, the bass clarinet, the contrabass clarinet, the bassoon, the contrabassoon, the trombone, the bass trombone, the euphonium, or the tuba, you’re always gonna hear those fantastic low sounds!

[@Bone_cutter]

Nothing more pure than a low brass section sounding like an Organ. Oh and viva la Bass Trombone.

[@eowingfield]

[@marcelofaviodesigner]

why is this so cool but when you hear a trumpet quintet you just wanna run for cover????

[@Frightning]

The answer to your question is: bass.

Shostakovich-Symphony 7 was amazing...

[@Brassglassman]

The fact that George Curran can hold the pedal E in Rheingold for 2 whole bars baffles me. So glad I got to here this live last year.

[@video4sissies]

I agree. He looks tall though... Im sure he has a third lung. He also used his F trigger which adds some resistance. And luckily the E decrescendos.

[@Frightning]

+Chris Glassman I can hold it that long no problem, but I also play Tuba, so that's probably why.

[@brandonbruce8551]

You also have to consider he started on euphonium and studied with Mark Cox who is a breathing expert. George also was top of his studio while he was at Central Michigan. He truly is an amazing musician and an equally cool guy.

[@baltheprotofox]

all of you are correct

[@kpbressanelli]

14:57 Nicely done Nathan Zgonc. Your reaction from nailing that lick is awesome!

Fun fact: Both George Curran and Colin Williams of the New York Philharmonic used to be in the Atlanta Symphony, and their replacements are the ASO members playing in this video. As far as I know, Colin Williams moved to the NY Phil after the Atlanta Symphony had those terrible contract problems a few years ago.

What’s the piece at 1:57? I should know this but this one I always forget. It’s the piece before Brahms 1

[@jdmusic9773]

Bruckner 7 I believe

[@johnpeschke7723]

i think that unless you have played these instruments in an orchestral setting you can't understand how they establish the floor of the composition. I played bass trombone for a number of years and while we played only fleetingly, it was critical to the overall voice of the piece.

[@CorvetteCoonass]

Hearing the Euphonium in this setting makes it all too clear what one of my conductors once said: "I play French Horn, but we French Horn players envy the sound of the Euphonium. It's what a French Horn should sound like." I agree with him.

[@Tigerwarhawk]

CorvetteCoonass I like the euphonium, but as a hornist of 30 years, I have never heard any other hornist say anything like this...including myself!

[@josesaavedra8542]

Actually Horn players envy the Wagner Tuba sound so that's what the Euphonium should really be. Lol jk

Do you think you get a better sound when standing? Granted, you sit in band, orchestra, etc. But when playing in a small group why not stand and free up the torso even more?

[@robearhart5796]

+Doug Hess Two reasons: 1- If you'll be playing the excerpts with an orchestra where you'll be sitting, why play it two different ways? 2- The tubist must sit, so the rest of the members sit for uniformity. Trombone quartets usually stand, but brass quintets sit, because one of the members must sit.

[@caterscarrots3407]

@@robearhart5796 But wait a minute, haven't I seen tuba players stand before? I'm pretty sure I have. Plus, doesn't standing free up more usable lung capacity? Isn't that why say a solo flutist will stand up is partly to free up lung capacity?
