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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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
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!
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!
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 =)
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.
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.
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
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 ... ... .
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
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.
Oh, I love Bach, and trombone. And I especially love bach on trombone. so you can imagine that I did enjoy this video very much, because it was Bach without all the inferior instruments.
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!
Das ist sehr beeindruckend! In diesem Stück steckt unglaublich viel Fleiß und Übung. Übung, Übung. Ich muss eigentlich zur Arbeit - aber diese Zeit nehme ich mir jetzt... alles anzuhören :)
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
im proud to be a trombone player... this is fucking awesome, and i wish i could find 3 other trombonists as good as me to play this with me. god, this is cool.
Who gave this a thumbs down?? That is outrageous! I bet those 15 people have no clue how to play the trombone, or they don't the slightest idea how hard it is to play fast tunes on a trombone. Anyway, Great arrangement :)
You're right, Scooby. I play in a community band. There are 8-9 of us t-bones. Not a week goes by that someone doesn't make some sort of comment about how awesome we sound together - and that's only 3 part harmony. We're constantly rearranging the band and it's usually the saxes who sit directly in front of us - getting a good ear full(heavy dose!) and they usually make the comments. I'm sure that more than one of them secretely wishes he had chosen the 'bone for his instrument.
one thing that makes a trombone quartet good is how easily they can tune chords i.e. flat 3rd sharp 5th in major and sharp 3rd and flat 5th for minor chords
If you hate on this...first actually read this music....then go grab your buddies and do better..... and by the way... those little dramatic stops were actually written in the music....and as long as you're in tune who cares how you hold your instrument especially when you're a professional.....you got there for a reason...you play how you're comfortable and make great sound too
One of the great compositions of all time. A noble attemp on trombone but it really needs to be heard on a good church organ with the right accoustics to send shivers down your spine.
but an organ cant adjust to parts of a chord the way a slide can. the reason i hate organ :) organ is all exact tone so any chord is slightly distorted because the third is never as flat as it needs to be and the fifth is never as sharp as it needs to be.
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 wouldn't even try this, I've been playing for 7 years and going to be a junior in high school. I know I still have a long way to go if I would want to try a part in this... I don't even think i could do this in college, Truly amazing tho.
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.
@@gingersrocqq
Trombone is one of the most gorgeous-sounding instruments in the world.
*is the
Any of y’all still listen to this every once in a while?
Yes
Amazing teamwork - it's like they are one person, playing four trombones.
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

Just playing a steady 4/4 is crazy enough, but sustaining these trombone gymnastics is truly amazing
The greatest instrument... Of all time

Not true; but it is a beautiful performance

It takes a really good bass trombone player to double tongue in the low register as the man is this quartet does
I wish I could play my trombone even a fraction of that good.

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.
@@MultiEpicGamingTime 0 is a element of the set of fraction as neutral element for the addition in the ring of fraction
Some of the best tombone playing I've ever heard. Wonderful!! You folks are amazing.
Lawrence Beordne
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 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!
This is very special. Nice job guys! And this looks like it's memorized...without a single hesitation!
What Bach would probably say about? Fantastic guys!
arriba Costa Rica!!!!!!!
demasiado orgullo de tener musicos de esta calidad!!!!!
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.
We could debate the arrangement and interpretation all day, but WELL DONE to the players for performing it so well.
words can not describe my admiration for these musicians they are just the best thank you for posting this wonderful trombone piece
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

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.
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!
four months later and this still amazes me. I love it! Really wish I played trombone instead of sax now!
Trombonists in the dungeon of the castle. . .this is really great.
THIS Bass Trombone is a boss *points at self*
It is THE instrument to play this piece. Piú maestoso, bravo!
I think first I watched this video 15 years ago, and today RUclips recommended it haha I love it!
6:42 that chord is AMAZING, definitly the most talented trombones i have seen in a while...
How thrilling! Perfectly! Professionally! I don't have lexicon to express the admiration! ! !
this proves that everything is always better when trombonists do it
Directo desde Costa Rica! Mis respetos para estos maestros
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!
hate to walk across that floor after they're done.
So true! 🤣🤣
This should be a viral video....if people had any clue how difficult that would be on a trombone....wow. Fantastic!
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 =)
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!
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.

These are four of the nicest guys you can meet also. Seeing them live is a great experience.
The best fuga ,the best brass...Its fantastic...
Très belle interprétation, bravo et encore félicitations.
No words, brilliant, the best i ever heard, the top world players.
Frankly speaking,this playing is one of the best one which i heared ever!

Pretty sure this is my favorite song of all time. I never get tired of hearing it.

Una sola palabra para estos virtuosos colegas ¡¡EXCELENCIA!!!
boggles my mind that this is all memory work!!!
*Ahem*
Marching bands?
Richie Gonzo Gaming YAAAS
This would require so much work to get the timing and articulation and such right that you'd memorize it anyway.
If you notice, they are all looking down. Still great playing.
Brass week at my middle school. The students will love this video! Thanks!
Bravísimo queridos maestros, compañeros, paisanos, amigos y excelentes músicos, son un orgullo para Costa Rica!!! Saludos
EXCELENTES MÚSICOS DE COSTA RICA....BRAVOOOO....!!!!!!
I remember witnessing this like yesterday, Trombones De Costa Rica at ITF
im so glad im in the trombone section best section out there am i right, internets?
im proud to be a trombone player...
this is fucking awesome, and i wish i could find 3 other trombonists as good as me to play this with me.
god, this is cool.
After playing this marvelous piece of art
in their beautiful trombones
they bring out beautiful guns.
After that, you're dead, man.
Who gave this a thumbs down??
That is outrageous!

te gek dit zeg.. ik zit gewoon te huiveren van angst zo goed als dit wordt gespeeld....echt top hoor..!!!
Wow! I'm sooo impress. It makes me miss playing trombone.
Ustedes son un éxito, demasiado bueno el concierto de ayer !!!
I can't honestly say how many times I've watched this. It's just so... SO FREKIN GOOD!!!!!
37 Dislikes, why?! I don't understand!!! Even Johann SEBASTIAN Bach himself would hit the like button!
belíssima apresentação, alta performance, é muito ensaio e dedicação, não se consegue isto de um dia para outro. parabéns
My favorite youtube video of all time.
I saw them live in Lubbock a few years ago, and was completely floored by their approach to playing. *goes to practice room now*
This marvelous piece, played with 4 trombones, just AWESOME.

I agree. I'm a bone player but you have to really hear this great piece on a grnd pipe organ to feel the goosbumps...:)
これほど美しくて、力強いハーモニーは他にありますか！
What a range this instrument has,, just brilliant
Ridiculously difficult. Bravo!
*w* mi instrumento, es mi adoración
best music ever
never ceases to amaze
I attended this performance, It was FANTASTIC!!!
Wow. Chords at the end, fugue, very good!
that is really amazing. i can't imagine all the memorizing they had to do. and all the hours of practice they put into that
