not really teamwork, but this kind of skill is a necessary attribute of high level players playing in an ensemble. Don't stick out, blend and balance with the rest of the band
Its less teamwork here and more... Instinct. Follow the pulse of the group and make Sure to blend your sound in well to add balance. Follow the Dynamics but don't stick out.
this is quite possibly one of the most epic videos I've seen on RUclips. It combined 2 of my favorite things. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor and Trombone Quartets! it was very metal!
I was amazed at the intonation of the substained chords.I've been playing tbone for the past 40 years, and the past 17 of those in a symphony on a Double Valve Bass Trombone. All I can say is our tbone section very seldom can play with such sense of near perfect chord pitch. One of us is always making small adjustments on the fly with the slides. I don't see it with this group. The timming is so precise like 4 playing the voice of one large pipe organ. Cudos to u guys. DonfromSkagitSymphony
Yes, before I started to listen I expected considerable problems in these regards that you mention, but I too was very positively surprised at how well they performed this.
I am overwhelmed: the techique, the intonation the cooperation,the expression(who coached them,?)its like a double marathon; each of them is a star, each of them at times the slave to the others, Bach will be delighted.
I had the honor of seeing this wonderful group live in SLC at ITF 2007. I heard a ton of great performances, but these guys absolutely shook the walls.
Tone color, touch, tonguing, speed of sound, pitch Bravo wonderful I was touched by this perfect performance of this long song without score The trombone sound is very beautiful
Ils sont FOU !!. Mais sont tellement beau et tellement original. Celà fait plaisir de savoir qu'il existe encore des puristes. J ajoute que l interpretation est tout simplement superbe. Bravo et merci merci merci ... ... .
They have such a great blend! I can see them trading off the melody, but their tone is so awesome that I can't tell by listening when they are trading off! Especially the first and second parts! That's amazing!
Trombone is a versatile instrument and in the hands of artists like this the ensemble sound is unbelievable. Why some of you feel it necessary to comment about trivial matters in the performance is beyond reason. These guys are awesome. Bravo, Bravo
I have tears in my eyes. I stood and applauded for a piece I heard on my computer. I think one must be a trombone player, or at least, at one time have been one, and familiar with the piece played on the organ to completely appreciate the skill with which this was executed. Thank you, gentlemen.
I saw them at the International Trombone Festival in May of 2008. Amazing players, and amazing gentlemen. They were very personable after the show and have a true love for passing on the at of trombone playing, not just themselves. Bravo, Trombones de Coasta Rica
This is not only a demonstration of sheer technical mastery of the trombone, but listen to the great sense of dynamic contrast that runs throughout the entire piece.
This is some of the finest brass playing on the planet. Those that have the nerve or cowardice to berate this is a blatant ignoramus as to the discipline this kind of performance demands. Bach, himself, would have loved these guys!
No, actually, because if he says he wants to play A FRACTION of something, there needs to be some sort of amount in the numerator. 0 doesn't work because then it wouldn't be a fraction; it would be nothing.
soy trombonista colombiano y dejeme felicitarlos por tan grandioso trabajo se ve un exlente ensamble buen solfeo, muy buena sonoridad en pocas palabras EXELENTE. MUCHAS FELICITCIONES
Awesome.....Fantastic........my Dad born in 1930 (great depression and WWII era guy) best thing he ever bought me was a Conn 88H "symphony model" tenor trombone.....still playing it over 50 years later and it went through a LOT of marching band and running around on the football field. Unbelievable sound.......rose bell and etched with "Conn- made in the USA" on the bell........they go for over $3000.00 bucks for a similar horn today.
Si bien tuve mis reservas al encontrar esta versión, reconozco lo bien resueltas que están las dificultades que ofrece la obra, el resultado es ASOMBROSO! realmente me emocionó la ejecución mis humildes felicitaciones!!!
I can tell from the way he tilts his head and places his mouthpiece off center that the fellow third from the left started playing at a very young age (when his arms were too short to reach. I developed the same habit). The embrasure strength they display at the beginning of the fugue is amazing!
belíssima apresentação, com articulações difíceis, alta performance, isto é com muito ensaio, dedicação e estudo, não se consegue de um dia para outro. parabéns
i love that one of them plays off to the side. i used to and i was brain washed to think that the center was the only right place. seeing this makes me happy =)
Хорошее исполнение. Чуваки держат темп и интонацию, не превращая исполнение в цирковой номер. Браво! -- Excelent.They keep the tempo and intonation, without turning in the circus number. Bravo!
man, if you think about it. The population of Costa Rica is only about 4.5 million. That's as much as many U.S. cities, but yet, it's hard to find 4 trombonists in one state that can play this well together without resorting to asking a symphonists or college professor to join in.
honestly some of the cleanest playing i have ever heard from a trombone quartet
Because typically the trombone is a messy instrument to play unless you know what you're doing
This truly proves how beautiful a trombone can sound and play when you are really good.

Trombone is one of the most gorgeous-sounding instruments in the world.
*is the

Amazing teamwork - it's like they are one person, playing four trombones.

Just playing a steady 4/4 is crazy enough, but sustaining these trombone gymnastics is truly amazing
The greatest instrument... Of all time
Facts
Not true; but it is a beautiful performance

Some of the best tombone playing I've ever heard. Wonderful!! You folks are amazing.

It is THE instrument to play this piece. Piú maestoso, bravo!
arriba Costa Rica!!!!!!!
demasiado orgullo de tener musicos de esta calidad!!!!!
Amazing. As a trombone minor in college, I have great admiration for these guys.
What a beautiful treatment of this piece! Gotta love the bass trombone - powerful and great tone (well... all of them have great tone!)
This is very special. Nice job guys! And this looks like it's memorized...without a single hesitation!

Directo desde Costa Rica! Mis respetos para estos maestros
words can not describe my admiration for these musicians they are just the best thank you for posting this wonderful trombone piece
four months later and this still amazes me. I love it! Really wish I played trombone instead of sax now!
What a tribute to Bach, the trombone, and to this magnificent composition.
You have brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you for this gift.
Best wishes.

It takes a really good bass trombone player to double tongue in the low register as the man is this quartet does
What Bach would probably say about? Fantastic guys!
I saw them at the International Trombone Festival in May of 2008. Amazing players, and amazing gentlemen. They were very personable after the show and have a true love for passing on the at of trombone playing, not just themselves. Bravo, Trombones de Coasta Rica
sonorous and beautiful; great transcription and great performance!
Wonderful, amazing talent, and such a beautiful mournful sound, and yet so bright in the major key.
Très belle interprétation, bravo et encore félicitations.
This is not only a demonstration of sheer technical mastery of the trombone, but listen to the great sense of dynamic contrast that runs throughout the entire piece.
So brave to play such a staccato heavy piece on trombone. Bravo!
BRILLIANT!!!!! Bravo a hundred times over.

6:42 that chord is AMAZING, definitly the most talented trombones i have seen in a while...
I wish I could play my trombone even a fraction of that good.
same

@@MultiEpicGamingTime 0 is a element of the set of fraction as neutral element for the addition in the ring of fraction
Trombonists in the dungeon of the castle. . .this is really great.

I can't honestly say how many times I've watched this. It's just so... SO FREKIN GOOD!!!!!
We could debate the arrangement and interpretation all day, but WELL DONE to the players for performing it so well.
te gek dit zeg.. ik zit gewoon te huiveren van angst zo goed als dit wordt gespeeld....echt top hoor..!!!
Frankly speaking,this playing is one of the best one which i heared ever!
el hombre es perfecto. mirándolo a traves de la música.
Estimados señores: Los felicito por su trabajo. Lo estoy disfrutando. Saludos desde México.

Simply amazing!!! Makes me want to go practice!!!!
This marvelous piece, played with 4 trombones, just AWESOME.
This should be a viral video....if people had any clue how difficult that would be on a trombone....wow. Fantastic!
Pretty sure this is my favorite song of all time. I never get tired of hearing it.
