    I love when a low brass section is so together on that many levels that it sounds like one gigantic god-like instrument

    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...
