musescore.com/user/31304714/scores/8080635?share=copy_link that took me a while.

[@wanderlngdays]

One year after my comment and you haven’t still indicated that this is the Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

The amount of confidence you need to play over an entire orchestra Is a lot also the mic doesn’t do justice to how loud this guy ìs actually playing. I’ve played this piece in band myself as the bass trombonist and the person who played this said that he struggled to play at that volume while still remaining beautiful. This guy has some talent, it’s not easy by any means to play that loud while still having a good warm sound Love from a Swedish bass trombonist

[@SpockMonroe]

Yeah.

[@TheTromboneClips]

I'm impressed that at measure 34 it's just one player and holy crap is he overblowing the entire orchestra!

[@trombonified9455]

i think other first trombones join in for those couple of measures, its a strong sound but it doesnt sound like one trombone

[@TheGymSavant]

@@trombonified9455 That specific measure is just first trombone & wind instrument parts aren't doubled in orchestras. There are 4 trombones in this ensemble, one for every part.

[@markdatton1348]

@@trombonified9455 If you watch the trombones during that part, you can see that the others take a breath while 1st continues to break down the gates of heaven

[@areyounatz]

Did Mahler really indicate to blow the spit out? Wow.

[@michaelloew522]

Micromanagement 101

[@FreakieFan]

Mahler was probably the most celebrated and gifted conductor of his day, and knew every inch of every instrument of the orchestra to perfection. His scores are probably the most detailed I've ever seen by a composer, so this doesn't really surprise me.

[@ralphkramden1741]

He was a babysitter. Any horn player knows that like his own face.

[@5PctJuice]

He wasn't wrong. You really want that slide to be as empty as possible before starting this solo

[@vanderson30198]

@Nathan When did he do this? What's the timing?

[@eyvindjr]

Some missing information: Trombone soloist: Jon Etterbeek (OSG principal) Orquesta Sinfonica de Galicia, conducted by chief conductor at the time, Dima Slobodeniouk. 2nd trombone: Eyvind Sommerfelt (OSG co-principal) 3rd trombone: Esteban Mendez (freelance, since won in job in Santa Cecilia, Rome) 4th trombone (bass): Fasutino Nunez (freelance) Tuba: Jesper Boile Nielsen (OSG principal) The concert was in October 2015 in Palacio de la Opera, La Coruña Full performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJzLoYRnaZiaZ7M

[@dlbucko]

Percussionist took a real two-flusher on that cymbal clash…trombones were awesome tho 😂

[@BeneathWalls]

I was just about to say this. One of my biggest pet peeves is when percussionists let the cymbals rebound against each other after the initial crash. Use your damn shoulder muscles to keep them apart!

[@MarcusLangbart]

@@BeneathWalls he can show off by saying he added a note to Mahler's original score!

[@w.ryanbutler8097]

The forces that hold the universe together, in ascending order….electromagnetic waves, gravity, The Guardians of the Galaxy, God, this trombone section.

[@eyvindjr]

Thanks a lot! (the 2nd trombonist)

[@PumilateVFX]

Bro this is my favourite conductor he is so bad ass

[@binary3280]

never heard of this orchestra but this very good stuff

[@MarcusLangbart]

I like this tempo on the slow side. Really makes the trombones feel massive and solemn.

[@Dylonely42]

Wonderful !

[@wanderlngdays]

I think you should say it’s the Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia

[@omarkhokher3542]

With Jon Etterbeek as first trombone. Superb playing.

[@annieli5749]

Didn’t know that Saul was this good at trombone 😂

[@anwarbeatzanwarbeatz661]

He is playing this freakishly loud, I love it!!! but is it in context? Who am I to say 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@brokencablemusic]

it’s a really great loud sound but there are a few notes where it sounds like he overblows and growls a bit

[@aammarkhan2661]

@@brokencablemusic yes i agree

[@oscar_basstrombone]

personally ... I find it an incredible sound . And it's totally in context. the only thing, it is very difficult to be able to play like that 😂

[@astian_sebus]

Yes, it is in context, this is pure Mahler. Mahler has to be played with a certain, mahler'ish intensity, which is fully achieved here.

[@andrewknowles6731]

Well its mostly fortissimo which in the context of trombone playing is pretty damn loud! This solo does require a bright but full and very loud sound to have the weight of impact that Mahler required, he wrote very forcefully at times for brass. The solo itself whilst not technically difficult (apart from being able to play a full sound in the lower and mid registers and not splitting or cracking any notes ) carries enormous pressure not least because not many trombone get to play it in anger. This performance whilst not perfect ( very few are) has a great sound and conveys the feeling that its meant to. I have never played it to an audience but if I am lucky enough to have a go I hope I play it as well as this.

Tuba player: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@jojoreference1190]

I was hoppin to find a baritone I play it

[@apfelapfel302]

euphonium/baritones are mostly a concert and marching band thing i think

[@UCrafter5000]

Cymbal percussionist doesn’t know how to keep the cymbals separate after an attack apparently

[@lukedallor977]

Who is the trombonist doing the solo

[@jonburton1935]

Which orchestra is this? I am rather shocked how loud it was….. and whether it was really that necessary. It’s not like there is tons of instruments to get over.

[@wanderlngdays]

Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia

[@GustavAhlbrand]

this guy clearly doesn't play trombone

[@jonburton1935]

I think you’ll find that I do

[@csatterley]

Definitely should be that loud, but the guy loses a little control here and there which makes it sound a little overblown. The orchestra did a good job, but they aren't the Berlin Phil.

[@doktorbell7110]

Great trombone. But I'm not sure about the conductor...

[@fredfenel1417]

Horowitz said a mazurka by Chopin has more music in it than a whole Mahler symphony. Kind of agree.

[@GustavAhlbrand]

Mahler has the most deep and rich music of the entire romantic repertoire what are you talking about

[@fredfenel1417]

Well, as i see it, Mahler deals with one thing at s time, with a veerryyy long fermata over it… where as Chopin often is so full of stuff that you can easily make a whole Mahler symphony out of. 😅😅😅. The video above is a perfect example. Just the same marcia funebre that is stuck.

[@felipemorenomusic]

Those are 4 tenors?

[@estebanmonestel9009]

3 tenors and 1 bass. At the 2:28 you can see the bass trombone put his horn down and you can see the tubing of the bass

[@aaajjworm]

not my proudest fap...
