Please bring back the Mahler Festival Documentaries! They are a fantastic and beautiful visual representation of Mahler's life. They inspired me so much, please make them available again 😊
This is great! And while I have a chance I want to THANK @concertgebouworkest for the "pseudo live" concerts. The audio is very good, considering YT, but the video is especially great. The multiple camera views, closeups of solos, capturing little details etc makes the experience very involving. I was tympanist/percussionist for our fine area symphony for 20 years, so this is like being IN the symphony again. It's also good to see so many younger players, which means a healthy future for your fine orchestra. My very best wishes to all involved.
So wait (re: going for a beer during the performance): does he not play the rest of the symphony? In many orchestras the principal leaves the stage, plays the post horn solo and then later returns. Is that not the case here?
That is not the common way to do it. There is one first trumpet onstage, and one taking the solo. It is very rare that one person does both in Mahler 3. In other symphonies it is common (Mahler 1 for example)
@@michaelstrom5532 Asking in a serious manner: But why would that be the case? Right before the posthorn, the first trumpet part is playing, but that could easily be covered by another player, and when the solo ends, it's only the 2nd trumpet playing, and the next few entrances are the trumpets in unison, making the return of the principal still unnecessary. Seems like it would be quite easy to slip the principal off-stage and back.
@@theosmith1182 Could be possible in a worst case scenario but the first trumpet part is demanding as it is and the post horn solo aswell. To do both and then end with the very difficult coral in the end on stage is difficult. There are stories where one of the trumpeter got sick and one guy had to do both, but that is not the case in any professional orchestras as I know. I'm principal in my orchestra and I never do both. Either the off stage solo or the on stage first trumpet.
@@michaelstrom5532 I'll defer to your experience, but it seems to me that if the posthorn solo had just been written as an extended trumpet solo onstage (same amount of music in the same place), people would have just dealt with it. It's only a few minutes out of a 90-min symphony. Oh well. Thanks for the info!

I heard him in Florence some years ago, when he was very young. He is a master of trumpet. Concertgebouw excellent choice to engage him!
best trumpeter !!!
Such a cool musician :-)

Ottimo!
You sound GREAT... besides that I like trumpeters who look like a real furbo..... :) Stammi bene!
Does someone know the name of this instrument?
It is a post horn, Miguel :)
