There was a true story something like that the Herseth himself would tell. He said Reiner liked to test the musicians. I forget the orchestral piece, but the trumpet goes "dit dit dah DAHHHHH" very quickly where the first three notes are C and the last is a jump up to high C and held. Reiner came up with excuses to have Herseth repeat the passage over and over and Herseth never missed. Herseth said everybody knew what Reiner was doing. And that after six or seven times he says Reiner said, "Can we do that again?" And Herseth says, "I looked at my watch and said I'm here until 12:30." Herseth said Reiner then left him alone.

@@trainliker100 could be a trumpet excerpt from "Also Sprach Zarathustra."

@@smctrout4423 No. Not that. The orchestra plays for quite a while and then the flutes have a sort of fluttering line that gets softer and softer and softer and suddenly the trumpet comes in big and bold with those four notes.

​​@@trainliker100 it is for sure ' zarathustra'. The high C octave appears in the middle of the piece after around 20 min.

@@hectorberlioz1449 You are correct. I was wrong when I said, "No. Not that." You are correct. Thanks for confirming it.

Well said. I was watching a UA-cam of a major European orchestra performing The Planets with my grandchildren, and as the first chairs performed solos, I told the young people to watch how the person sitting in the second chair might me younger, might be older, but they were usually reading the score during the solo and were usually itching to perform that solo. For Bud to maintain that position that long at Chicago? Wow.

It is for every Trumpet player. Ive been Principal in several Orchestras as an amateur and its perilous in every level. it was for me on my level like it is for an Pro on his level

Wrong sorry… it was Maurice Andre whom said that.

@@bd1845 Thank you. It’s a good one.

@@bd1845 Adolph Herseth said it many, many times.

@bd1845 Bud was a huge admirer of Maurice Andre and they knew each other. It's likely one of them picked it up from the other. We don't know who said it first, but we know it's something Herseth told students many, many times.

Do you know of any recordings that featured your father? I heard that Bernstein preferred his sound to Vacchiano (whom he said played the trumpet like a baritone horn).

@@ericdaniel323 I don’t, except I do know that a composer (a member of the orchestra, I believe) wrote a piece featuring the second trumpet with my dad in mind. The title had the words, "timid trumpeter" in it. My dad was known for not wanting to sit in the first chair because of the pressure, even after being offered the position after Harry Glantz left. Glantz was my mother’s cousin, but my parents hadn’t met yet! Yes, Bernstein loved my dad and even set up a modest fund to help my brother and me with our education. I was 7 and my brother was13 when my father died.

@@eileenschwartz7460 Frank Kaderabek, retired principal trumpet of the Philadelphia Orchestra and long-time teacher at Curtis, considered your Dad to be his most helpful teacher when he was in the West Point Band and taking lessons in New York. He often expressed admiration and appreciation of him in my lessons. He is still living in Philly at age 94. If you have not already done so, I am sure he would love to talk with you about your Dad.

My father, Ben Jablonsky, a pianist, was a dear friend of your dad.

I'll answer myself: It's Manuel Zegler, principal bassoon from 1953 to 1981, which means just after William Polisi and just before the current Judith LeClair.

No debate? What qualities of his playing place his performance beyond debate?

Maurice Murphy of the LSO is up there definitely

Definitely past his prime. There's an older recording on UA-cam of him playing Brandenburg 2 from when he seems to have been in better form. Mind you, he was squealing it on his big Bb, so it's still a little hard to listen to at times, but still very technically impressive and, for the most part, clean.

As demanding as he was of his students, he expected even more from himself. This is live. They can’t all be gems.

They can't all be gems unless it's Bud. @@ericdaniel323

what a ridiculous comment. clearly someone with not much experience here… lol

@@billbryant1288 if you trying to say that herseth is the goat... he is not

@@billbryant1288 idk know man that haydn concerto was pretty bad

@@swaglord5909 lmao i was thinking it didnt sound so great, but thats probably the recording quality

Yeah, you must be one badass to critique this man. Of course I am not falling for it. GFY!

☝🏻 not net

You can't...talk is cheap.

Only Instagram. Ah-ah-ah!!!!

This is live music. Sometimes clams happen.

And YOU are not on that list.

That is true! One time a composer (I believe he was actually a member of the orchestra) wrote a piece called The Timid Trumpeter (or something very close to that!) which featured the second trumpet. My father had to play it!

Oh, and thanks for the kind words about my dad!

That's true! One of the orchestra members who was also a composer wrote a piece about a timid trumpeter which featured the second trumpet and my dad had to play it! Apparently, as long as it said 2nd trumpet and he could sit in the second chair, he could play it! He just never wanted to sit in the first chair. I was told that when Harry Glantz (my mother's cousin) left the Phil, they asked my father to play first, but he didn't want to! It made him too nervous.

please post a clip of you doing it better LIVE in front of 1,000 people

@@chasefreak Why should he?

@@explodingsausage6576 to prove if he could do a better job

@@chasefreak And how is that relevant to Vacchiano doing a subpar job in this video?

@@explodingsausage6576 well, when some troll lambasts a great player without being able to prove he can do a better a job proves relevance. So many people bash a player's performance and I always say, 'let's hear you do a better job!" the response is usually silence b/c we know they cannot-they're just being trolls.

Sadly, people jump to conclusions and open their mouths when they have no idea of the facts. Phil Ponce, the interviewer, knows very well who Fritz Reiner was and I would bet a money he knows quite a bit about Bach Strads. Mr. Ponce is extremely intelligent, he has a law degree from the University of Michigan and a journalist degree from Loyola, many awards, and a wide array of personal interests, playing trumpet is one of them. He asks questions not to show off his intelligence, but ones he believes the audience would be interested to know.

@@frankkolton1780 my godness, such a hatred.

It was quite clear that he knew his stuff, but was trying to lay things out for an audience that might no know.

@@SamIAm-kz4hg laughing

Are you a moron? You, duwir.

I was lucky to be around that crew back in the day. It's hard for people to comprehend just how elite that brass section was. Absolutely staggering.

Tells you how the Bach Strad has the iconic orchestral sound... whether Bb or C.

Going by what many of fellow musicians and conductors who knew him have said over the years. There is no other musician more dedicated to his instrument, the music, and the orchestra than Mr. Herself was. He could be outspoken, strong willed, and didn't suffer fools. He was dedicated to excellence and expected those around him to play their very best at all times, which rubbed a few of his fellow musicians the wrong way, those that had a more casual attitude toward preparation for of a piece and practice. It is said he never turned down a fellow musician who came to him for help. Many times a trumpeter from another orchestra would fly in for a day or two to go to Mr. Herseth's Oak Park home for some coaching, he said he never charged a dime, it was the duty of older musicians to pass on to the next generation. Arrogant? Perhaps. While he did appreciate the adoration by his fans, he was never about himself, he lived and breathed for the orchestra and music. He was a huge influence on the sound of not only the high brass section, but also on the whole CSO orchestra. He is not the only one of course, there were and are many names within the orchestra that have led and pushed their colleagues to excel. Bud Herseth once said that tradition in the CSO goes back to the days of Frederick Stock.

@@frankkolton1780 "I had heard stories over the years of how arrogant and condescending he was" I'm reminded of the prima donna singer. If you're going to be in the spotlight, you're going to have to want it. I think it comes with the territory.

Many of the Greatest Musicians do not like teaching poor students, and will not do so even though they might be able to make a lot of money doing so. "Arrogant and Condescending" could just as easily be "Dignified and Direct".

Yup. No doubt. It will never happen again. I've heard them and many other orchestras of great repute. No doubt. EPIC. It'll never happen again.

What this suggests to this music lover is that there has been the passing of an age during which such artistry reached a zenith of popularity, similar to the age of the big bands of the mid-20th century, the giants of Rock and Country, etc. But this is not to say that a talent equal to Herseth is not out there-it simply will not have the same opportunity to flourish. Times change.

No probably about it. Just plainly the best.

I guess I would say this being from the UK but the London symphony with Maurice Murphy for me takes some beating. John Williams used that orchestra for Star Wars, Indiana Jones etc. That said, Herseth one of the greatest trumpeters who has ever lived.
