People don't realize there are lyrics to the first part. "Lay Waaaaaste, lay waaaaaste. Lay waaaaaste, lay waaaaaste. Lay waaaaaste. Lay waaaaaste. Lay waaaaaste. Lay waaaaaste." But seriously, this is becoming my new ringtone.
Exactly as it needs to be in a real orchestra. I have heard far too many students trying to play excerpts with no actual experience in an orchestra, and they always come out (for lack of a better term) too "sweet" and would get crushed by the rest of the orchestra. To get the fugue to sound like what we wanted in our particular hall with its particular acoustics (or lack thereof) I actually ended up hearing my sound echo off the ceiling of the hall itself. (We were really far forward and out of our shell for this as we had tons of risers behind us for a 300 voice chorus for "Alexander Nevsky" on the second half.) The bass trombone was actually much easier to hear in the hall out of the shell; he normally has to play loud AF all the time. However, in the low range my horn was sort of disappearing in the mix, so I had to play it about as "not sweet" as you can imagine. It was bouncing back to me every now and again. In the hall it was very exciting, according to my spies in the audience. The low brass got a solo section bow at the end and we received a lot of bravos from the audience. So yeah, you have to paste peoples' heads to the back wall sometimes to get the desired effect. It is not just a volume thing, either. It is the sound itself. It is an attitude, too. That shit sells tickets. Seriously, when we play a lick in the orchestra in a live performance that makes us want to jump up and scream when we finish it there are many people in the hall who want to do that with you. Only decorum prevents cheering after great solos or excerpts, like in a jazz concert. Play so that the audience wants to beat their chests and break shit out of excitement when you finish. BRAVO, gentlemen. Played like gods in a live performance.
If you listen to full orchestral recordings of this passage, you'll notice that it's difficult to hear the bass trombone and tuba starting the fugue unless they play like this example. Ein Heldenleben is the same--those notes below the staff just won't be heard unless you open up like Brian does here--and it sounds awesome. Also--play the low B. It isn't written but Shostakovich probably wasn't sure it was possible and it sounds weird without it.
I’m sure all low brass sections would want to open up and play out like in this video, however it’s the conductor who will determine how loud this passage will be played, most of the time conductors will give the section the “hand” to not play out etc.
Really awesome, only one critique though. I would just ask the Bass Trombone to come out just a little more, perhaps one dynamic level. There is not nearly enough sound from the Bass Bone. Otherwise, it’s really amazing.
I don't want to disagree or joke with the question but you can already hear the bass trombone, that sounds more overgrown than a tuba. If it's a joke, I would see that you have prone to being a low brass player. If not at all, you must be seriously mistaken...
I just accidentally came across this having watched a dreadful video advising horn players on how to approach the low excerpt in the first movement. Thank you, gentlemen, thank you! That sound was the antidote I needed to the dross that came before it. Awesome!
This piece is actually "Fanfare for the Vienna Philharmonic" by Richard Strauss. Great piece by not a coronation fanfare. It has be reorchestrated and transposed, but I the same work.
While I love both, these excerpts when compared to those of the Bruckner 8th, show me how much simpler Shostakovich was in his compositional technique.
Very very nice. For me the last movmnt is way waaaaay too slow.. ! At least double tempo, an more aggressive, and subdivision helps of the 16th notes in order to be together (e-f -> G)
Brian Hect is too much of a monster, good god.
I don't think the bass bone is nearly loud enough. My speakers still work.
...barely
@@joshomaits still not enough
nah the sound from the live performance just made it to you finally.
I still come back to listen every so often to hear if Brian is still Brian
I love when a low brass section is so together on that many levels that it sounds like one gigantic god-like instrument

Oh yes, but we want the hand
Bは不要だと思います、Cを吹き抜ける効果が素晴らしい。バーンスタイン、NYP.Tokyo.1979が証明してると思います。
the first thought that came into my head was "oh s#*%t that bass is strong."
BRIAN
I’ve listened to this well over 100 times and it keeps getting better. What a sound!

Hope your joking?
@@AOSMAKAKMSyou’re**
@@AOSMAKAKMSI dont think he is. Hecht is only playing at ffffffffff. He should be playing at fffffffffff. It's a common mistake, really.
Lol
He is being sarcastic 😂
What the Hect was that?!
This pun deserves more recognition than it's getting.
Was the bass trombone even playing ?
kpbressanelli no they need to mic him
Yes

@@harrison7723 was playing it right as I got this message, also I did end up getting a bass trombone
Try the cimbasso
@@xaitat I love cimbasso
So I hear you like Bass Trombone
May I ask what the piece is called at the beginning of this video? Those harmonies are to die for!
Tyler Criss Shostakovich Prelude in Eb Minor arranged for Trombone Choir👍🏻
This piece is actually "Fanfare for the Vienna Philharmonic" by Richard Strauss. Great piece by not a coronation fanfare. It has be reorchestrated and transposed, but I the same work.
Now that’s how Shostakovich Sym 1 Mov 1 is supposed to be played. :)
TeeHee! Awesome, Brian!
very good like
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👌
Encore!
This is why.
There was a bass trombone? Not sure I heard it.
We can see you dislike basses for some reason
Meanwhile, the string section is out recording Herrmann's Psycho excerpts.
Man that intonation is tippy top
What is the introduction theme?
What piece is played in the intro?
Shostakovich Prelude in Eb minor, arranged for trombone choir.
angel?
Shostakovich prelude number 14
What's the name of the song in the intro?
Where can I find sheet music for this?
musescore.com/user/26645701/scores/5513368 You're welcome
Just keep it down we don't need the government finding out that it's online
