Love it. I'm a double bassist and love and appreciate my low end siblings in the brass section. Wish I could upvote many times
Us low brass people love you guys too!
Shostakovich-Symphony 7 was amazing...
Nothing more pure than a low brass section sounding like an Organ. Oh and viva la Bass Trombone.
+Armando Mejia Sounds like a superhero soundtrack.
why is this so cool but when you hear a trumpet quintet you just wanna run for cover????
The answer to your question is: bass.
organ
@@crarytrombone9672 organ= trombone and tuba playing p
The fact that George Curran can hold the pedal E in Rheingold for 2 whole bars baffles me. So glad I got to here this live last year.
I agree. He looks tall though... Im sure he has a third lung. He also used his F trigger which adds some resistance. And luckily the E decrescendos.
+Chris Glassman I can hold it that long no problem, but I also play Tuba, so that's probably why.
You also have to consider he started on euphonium and studied with Mark Cox who is a breathing expert. George also was top of his studio while he was at Central Michigan. He truly is an amazing musician and an equally cool guy.
all of you are correct
The Shostakovich 7th was pretty damn spectacular. Nice going, guys.
Taylor Fong what movement from the symphony is it from?
The first, I believe
the first
14:53 the bass trombone.... oh my god...
14:57 Nicely done Nathan Zgonc. Your reaction from nailing that lick is awesome!
4:28 the bass trombone's part is amazing
as a bass trombone player i can gladly say i love fountains of rome
as a tenor trombone player i can gladly say i love playing the bass part of fountains of rome
Bruh the tuba has that so much
@@thedarktruth132 they play the same a lot lol
Where can I get a set of lungs like Curran's?
I think they sell them on eBay? I saw something like that.
just get surgery man thoes lungs are a lie
Who is Curran?
@@chrisg0001the bass trombone wearing the blue jacket
I came here searching for some good trombone and that’s exactly what I got. God bless
When George and Brian start playing in unison on the Shostakovich... Wow
I keep listening to this trying to make sure this is the sound that is in my head--and comes out of my horn.
same
I've watched/listened to this several times a years since being uploaded and I think it's been an opened tab on my laptop for about 1.5 years now. I'm a trumpet player too. Not enough trumpet players doing things like this.
Fun to listen to and "hear" the rest of the orchestra in your mind playing with them.
I'll bet those 2 bass trombonists go home every night and eat raw meat until it's time to play again. That bald guy has ice water running through his veins. All was magnificent!
W R Butler you mean Joseph Alessi lmao???
The best trombonist in the world
@@joanmartinez8390 that's not Joe, that's Nathan Zgonc from the ASO
Brian Hecht has a tone like a string bass it’s so beautiful
Chandler plays a pretty mean tuba!
Could he USE any more air??
Hey I don’t play tuba 🤔oh wait 😂
@@chandlerwilkens8312 bruh
so does Andy Miller😊
who tf is Chandler?
Absolutely love the sound on the Leningrad Symphony excerpt. So resonant and the balance between the trombones and tuba are exquisite!
I love when you share these videos!
Such a good video. Nice work. Clean sound and articulation. Great range across dynamics and pitch, and great harmony's!
I'm so glad I got to see this live
wow these guys sound really good!! i've been watching masterclasses videos online to get some inspiration because after taking a hiatus from playing the flute i needed time to think about what it is i wanted to do with music and also from playing for so many years i just needed a break.
I always use these to practice excerpts! Great quality as always, makes me wanna go back to school
Wow. Marathon sitting! So glad to hear Shoshie 7!!! Too bad they didn't do the 4th mvt. Thank you so much for posting this!
I know! I saw before they put it up that they were doing his 7th. I got extremely excited, but no fourth! Still phenomenal. And it's awesome to hear Nathan on principal more!
Fantastic playing, I like the amazing top D in the Brahms Symphony No 2.
This was outstanding! Thanks for posting.
Shostakovich 7...LIKE A BOSS!!
You know that Shostakovich loved trombones/low brass ;-)
This performance is my bible.Bravo〜🎵✨
Loving the video quality.
Awesome! Please post more videos.
Wow. Seriously great playing all around.
Outstanding playing!
this video is my daily practice tool. just awesome!
Very very clean,Great Job.!!!!
god that tuba is so lovely
Fun fact: Both George Curran and Colin Williams of the New York Philharmonic used to be in the Atlanta Symphony, and their replacements are the ASO members playing in this video. As far as I know, Colin Williams moved to the NY Phil after the Atlanta Symphony had those terrible contract problems a few years ago.
Beautiful!!!
This is really great!
I love the players and music they make in this video! Bravo! Well done to Mr. Zgonc for what looks like the circular breathing in Nielson Symphony No. 4!
Colins face at 19:08 is the greatest thing I've seen in my natural born life
Bass Trombone (The Best) Played it for 5 years 9 Grade through 1st year of college. Love seeing it hard to find in most bands.
Nice sectional, reminds me of when I was a kid!
I covered in goose bumps !!
I would have liked to hear Prokofiev symphony 5....Great sounding group!
Que som!! Ótimo!!
16:09 absolutely stunning!
Hearing the Euphonium in this setting makes it all too clear what one of my conductors once said: "I play French Horn, but we French Horn players envy the sound of the Euphonium. It's what a French Horn should sound like." I agree with him.
CorvetteCoonass I like the euphonium, but as a hornist of 30 years, I have never heard any other hornist say anything like this...including myself!
Actually Horn players envy the Wagner Tuba sound so that's what the Euphonium should really be. Lol jk
I never knew Ed Helms was such a good Tuba player
LOL!
Andy will be nonplussed
me encanta Bruckner y Fontaes of rome
Amazing!!!!
10:42 that overtone tho...it's high C
Bravíssimo!
suena muy chido! No entiendo como puede haber personas que le dan "no me gusta".....chales
i think that unless you have played these instruments in an orchestral setting you can't understand how they establish the floor of the composition. I played bass trombone for a number of years and while we played only fleetingly, it was critical to the overall voice of the piece.
Nathan Zgonc rocking those Chuck Taylors
Da Bruckner 8 da BEST !!! TX, Guys & gals ...🌹
Anyone watching this in 2021?
Trombones are the best instruments to use for any
Song
Great!!
Overtone heaven
Nice powerplay !!
Love I, I am a bass trombone player. Los sounds are beautiful
I didn't know Chandler bing played the tuba
Gracias
that bruckner 7 wow
Where can I get the sheet music?
What’s the piece at 1:57? I should know this but this one I always forget. It’s the piece before Brahms 1
Bruckner 7 I believe
Aww, they didn't do any of the finale from Shostakovich 7? Boo. Awesome job otherwise though, damn they gave me goosebumps.
excelent
Does anyone know the brand of that silver CC tuba played in the video? I've been looking for something like that
Carson Clay Nirschl York
@@drbuzzz really fine playing!
@@waynejrice thanks.. somebody getting it right. bloody morons
Which part of the ring cycle
Is the second excerpt from???
Entry of the gods into Valhalla (end of Das Rheingold)
the part around min 15:08 what piece is it?
+Fed G the finale of Rheingold
commonly known as the entry of the gods into valhalla
My brass choir teacher at Arkansas Tech University Dr. Barrow would tell us when we die and go to your reward(if you believe in this)you will not hear woodwinds or drums...maybe a harp BUT BRASS! TUBA'S TRUMPETS HORNS BONES BUT NEVER THEM "REEDLICKERS"! He was funny!
My band teacher said the same at Missouri State but we would give exceptions to low reeds really Bari Sax
The trumpet shall sound!
What’s the excerpt at 6:00? Love it!
It’s from Shostakovich‘s 7th Symphony 1st movement (the march)
@@Zoorty_ thanks
@@gearaddictclimber2524 np
Brian at 8:57 just, dear god
15:28 That's BassTrumpet!!!!!!!!!!
14:53
Absolutely no Mahler?!
brian hecht is my big brother
Do you think you get a better sound when standing? Granted, you sit in band, orchestra, etc. But when playing in a small group why not stand and free up the torso even more?
+Doug Hess Two reasons: 1- If you'll be playing the excerpts with an orchestra where you'll be sitting, why play it two different ways? 2- The tubist must sit, so the rest of the members sit for uniformity. Trombone quartets usually stand, but brass quintets sit, because one of the members must sit.
@@robearhart5796 But wait a minute, haven't I seen tuba players stand before? I'm pretty sure I have. Plus, doesn't standing free up more usable lung capacity? Isn't that why say a solo flutist will stand up is partly to free up lung capacity?
@@caterscarrots3407 Bending at the hips shouldn't make a difference in lung capacity.
@@caterscarrots3407 even then the tubist must sit, that instrument is too heavy to be held for that long.
Where is Joe Alessi
Awesomb! Would have liked the names of the pieces though so I can listen to them en todo :))
