Herseth's studio

- One of the best days of my life: Adolph Herseth, not only one of the biggest sounds of history, but also, one of the biggest hearts. He is 88, but he still loves music as if he was a kid. His personality and his wisdom provides me motivation to keep practicing, or as he would say, performing. I hope you can enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed this experience. Thank you, Mr. Herseth!

"You gotta play low notes too, ya know." Greatest quote from any trumpet player, ever. I love you, bud.
R.I.P. Bud, the greatest of them all.
We all will miss Adolph "Bud" Herseth. He will always be in our hearts, and our ears.
Thanks for all, and rest in peace
I remember him everyday, as I did always.
Thanks for this great video, I have seen it hundreds of times!
Bud Forever 🙌🏻🎺🙌🏻
A BEAUTIFUL. MAN, REFLECTED. IN HIS PLAYING. SOMEONE TO EMULATE!!
Unbelievable footage for us orchestra nerds I wish this went on forever RIP to the best that ever did it
The Grand Old Master in his den. I would be giggling in his presence too ! What a privilege to be with him.
I know it's been a while, but thank you very much for posting this--priceless.
When, and if, I get to that age, I'd be glad if I could even lift a trumpet, or even see one for that matter, let alone still put air through it and get a responsive sound. I think the thing I like most about Bud is that despite his musical/trumpet brilliance, he was no prima donna--just a regular guy, practicing his craft in an old dingy basement in a flannel shirt. When you'd see him come out on stage, it was just like "another day at the office", except, that was by no means his attitude. Every time he put that horn to his lips, it meant something. That's what made him great--brilliance clothed in humility, serving the music, always.
That was spectacular.... a real gift for us trumpet players....what a career Mr. Herseth had....unreal...and such a nice guy....he is a king like Hirt, Mendez, Severinsen, etc. Thanx for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
terry strand Don't forget Louis!
What an adorable man...
Dear Hecstork, I love your enthusiasm around Mr. Herseth. It really reminds me of the time last year meeting one of my own biggest inspirations, Eric Whitacre. I just couldn't believe I was speaking to him and he was right there beside me. You just can't help but to act like a flippin fanboy. Thanks for sharing this video with us!
Rest in piece Mr. Herseth
Hearing him play some frayed, fluffed, off notes here is interesting - it demonstrates that he is in fact playing the same instrument that everyone else is and when he isn't focused and on point he too sounds like us mortals.
Yes, and it should also be noted:
--he's almost ninety years old in this video
--he's retired, so who knows how often he was still playing at that point
--he wasn't warmed up (that might have been the first time he'd played that day, or in how many days)
--who knows when the last time was he'd played some of those older instruments
Cold German Beer he probably lost a lot of his chops, understandable considering his age
Such humility and grace! Not to mention, a sense of humor! His approach to every mouthpiece and horn was the same, and had a great attack! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for posting this!
Listen to this man's work in recordings of the Chicago Symphony under Fritz Reiner during the 50's and early 60's, especially Mousorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, Resphigi's Pines/Fountains of Rome, Wagner and Rossini overtures, and the 1961 recording of Strauss' Don Juan.
Perhaps the greatest classical trumpet player of the last century, but what a cool guy...thanks for posting this!
And Buds famous triple tonguing on the Shaherazade recording. Unbelievable!
Thank you for sharing this! What a legend!
This is wonderful! Bud is such a wonderful trumpet player and a phenomenal person. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks again for posting this. Sad to see him go... In this clip, he looks like he'd live forever, still practicing every day. Rest In Peace.
Thank you very much for sharing this!!!
This was great to watch, including the delight of the two young visitors.
Amazing footage of an amazing man.....!
There are not many of us half his age here who could do and make it sound that clean and in tune what he did from @ 1:20 to 1:40.
Great Video. Legendary Player.
This is really something for an old trumpet player who studied his performances and admired him more than anyone (still do) but never got to see this side of him. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. It was fun to see how much he liked to joke around.
Greatest ever. Thanks for posting.
Yes. Greatest ever. No one was able to rivet you to your seat like Bud.
No one.
wow that was amazing! even at his age he sounded fantastic
Thank you for sharing this video.
"Herseth's Studio" for many years was Bud's basement, filled with laundry, pipes hanging from the ceiling, and trumpets hanging from every pipe. A classic Bud story was the plane landing at O'Hare' Airport, the young European trumpet player catching a cab to Bud's house, asking the cab to wait, and going down to the basement for an hour's lesson. Then back to O'Hare & home. Bud and his wife played trumpet in the same band in their youth. He always said Avis, his wife, played better than he did!
A glimpse into the mind of the master. Now that Mr. Herseth is gone, this video has even more importance. This man was Principal Trumpet of the CSO since 1948. May he rest in peace. Thank you Bud and the CSO for some of the most beautiful and inspiring music, ever.
His contribution to orchestral trumpet playing is without equal. I have heard him live, in many performances, and have heard him flub, but the significance of his performances always buried the insignificant indiscretions of his "flubs." He was always about the story. He "got it." He knew that the voice he was given, the trumpet, the most persuasive instrument in the orchestra, could sway the outcome of a piece. This is a heavy burden.
He rose to the task. He always rose to the tack.
The King is dead. Long live he King.
Muchas gracias por el video, es toda una inspiracion, tremendo maestro. saludos desde Peru.
Thanks a lot for the video, its a inspiration, amazig trumet master. Greetings from Peru.
Amazing Stuff, Thanks for sharing!!!
Wonderfulllllll....!!!!
I would do anything to meet this man x_x. Thanks for posting this!
I love this
i love it, maybe i will be like them when i get old
thanks for sharing!!
Hard to tell if he was aware he was being video'ed. Anyway, I hate to say it, and I knew Bud in real life (outside of strictly music circles), but he was past his prime as a trumpet player here. This was only 2 or 3 years before his death. His playing around this time was only 50% (or less) of what it'd been even as recently as 2004 (when he retired "for real" from the Chicago). Still... no one could blow a horn like this guy. Kudos to you Bud, where ever you are these days. Sincerely, a fellow "brasshole".
With Mr. Herseth's passing, we've lost one of the last living links to the great Reiner era of the Chicago Symphony. We will miss him, but can be thankful he was with us for as long as he was and leaving us such a rich legacy.
rocktorach Jay Friedman is still in the CSO.
Jay wasnt in Reiner era
The articulation - amazing.
Charming!
so glad to see Mr. Herseth is still healthy and doing well ..... still play and practise at age 88?? simply amazing!
Man I wish this video went on for 30 hours more
Maravilha!!!!
Thank you, Mr. Herseth!
Could you imagine being his neighbor.
This is why I love You Tube.
R.I.P. :(
So.Many.Trumpets.
Herseth, the greatest orchestral trumpet player of all time
Dot dead, Miss "trumpet player". He's very much alive...
Principal trumpet problems. so many mouthpieces he cant find the right one. some many trumpets he runs out of room.
1:50 I think I bruised my chin on the floor.
Borat vibes
LOL
Jimmy Page has 100 guitars, Bud has 100 trumpets.
No, he's no longer alive...
This guy is pretty good, almost as good as my band teacher.
Insiders say that he was a tyrant.
Like in a good way, like Michael Jordan?
@@Will_Moffett That's probably a fair statement, if you overlook all the firings, ulcers, destroyed music careers, alcoholism. Some of the other trumpet players hated him so much that they wouldn't go to a colleagues funeral because they knew he would be there.
That testimony is not universal. One CSO colleague left the orchestra because of him while another had nothing but praise for the high musical standards he set in the section.
