Brilliant. The reason I love this man's playing is that of all the trumpeters who have wonderful technique these days, this guy plays with great musicality. It sounds like music, not just a show-off piece. And he plays it like a trumpet, not like a cornet. A live performance so you can forgive the odd fluff. Thanks for posting.
Thanks to anyone who posts all of these Sergei videos! There were three other ones on here about five months ago that were very good. One was an interview of him.
Most trumpet players in the know agree that Sergei is quite possibly the best trumpet player who has ever lived and may be the best who will every live. Listen to his album 'No Limit' -- end of story. He has an unreal control over his sound, color, range etc. He is astonishing the finest trumpet artists the world over.
Beautiful, virtuosic and maybe rushed at the ends of phrases in my opinion, but I love his playing! The fifth variation is a very fine example of making a very difficult piece of music sound incredibly easy. Thank you once again Sergei! Jason
he has an iteresting interperetation but very good, definately one of the best, and he's one of the best trumpet players ever. However, Winton's version of this songs is the best ever. .........but Sergei's moto perpetuo shows his real skill!
@charvinaldo there are many different interpretations of every song that is out there and no single interpretation is the "best" its all about the listener's perspective. As one might say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
@josephxerritrumpet .The problem with classic music is .Its tone and tech,of course your have to have the tech.Both of these player have it. It would be very difficult to say who is playing if they were hidden.
ooh la la, I like his ending. And yeah, no performance is perfect! Though, I do agree that you're not trying to sound arrogant. and what's with the thumbs down for liking Wynton's version better? Just opinions!
What happened to the video of him playing this in much better quality? I've been trying to find it for like 30 minutes. Don't tell me youtube deleted it =(
IMO playing his horn upside down is the only thing where Zoot has the advantage over Nakariakov. I do think Nakariakov is a little cleaner than Vizzuti though
I think he was in a car accident that messed up his spine so much that he couldn't play piano (his first instrument) for extended periods of time, since you have to sit down.
crappy sound in this video, listen the applauses. I think I found only 1 (minor) mistake, and this is live-recording of very hard piece. Sergeis virtuosity, intonation and tone are something unique. I think there won't be any trumpeter like him.
BS. This is a live performance, not a recording. Of course, if you listen to recordings, they will be flawless, but how many interprets are going to play that piece live at the right tempo totally flawlessly every time from beginning to end? Not one.
I'm 80 and have heard some great ones but this
gentleman takes the prize. My thanks to the one that posted this. Merry Christmas to all!
БРАВО БРАВИССИМО СЕРГЕЙ !!! ЖДЕМ НОВЫХ ЧУДЕС !!!

Lovely !
Marsalis and Nakariakov are different men and, as so, will play differently and beautifully, each one in his style and spirit.

Нет,лучший трубач всех времён который когда либо существовал и пока до сих пор к нему ещё не приблизился это Тимофей Докшицер
This is absolute beautiful playing. All those guys are great, but I think Sergei has the best phrasing.
El tio ni se inmuta. Fantastico.
And I think everyone likes hearing it so much for that final segment where he quadruple tongues the melody
He's very good...awesome!!
I agree, and IMO Mendez never gets the credit he deserves
bravo! bravo! :D
great musician
Magnificent!

dear god that's amazing!!
nav jau svariigi,ko speelee,bet kaa :),..paklausies sho vidjiku veelreiz :)
You know he was using Flugelhorn for most of the album except for two songs, right? I agree with you that the CD is amazing.
Thanks for that clarification - never knew that. It can make him look tall if he's shown from a certain angle
His tone didn't suffer at 00:15... he just got softer.
what a tone
I believe that classical is his only "feel"
@josephxerritrumpet .The problem with classic music is .Its tone and tech,of course your have to have the tech.Both of these player have it. It would be very difficult to say who is playing if they were hidden.
Has anybody wondered why he always plays with his head down?...well whatever he's doing its ok cause he's amazing!!
That boy love to play
q bueno
sounds better when played on the cornet
wow...
haII keanu reeves' cousin BAHAHA MAN SERGEI IS MAii GOD I WORSHIP THIS GUY SO GOOD
sergei plays on antoine courtois trumpets and flugel horns. I dont know what model this horn is though.
bravo
ooh la la, I like his ending. And yeah, no performance is perfect! Though, I do agree that you're not trying to sound arrogant. and what's with the thumbs down for liking Wynton's version better? Just opinions!
lol the last note sounds like mendez
Allen Vizzutti is the BEST.
Ah ah ah you are right!!!!
Lol...Nice screw....
IT'S SERGEI
ksarnwine meant the Horn in F (a.k.a. French horn, a.k.a. Freedom Horn :) )

how old was he in this performance anybody?
I think he was in a car accident that messed up his spine so much that he couldn't play piano (his first instrument) for extended periods of time, since you have to sit down.
what kind of trumpet does sergei play on?
nu tad nospeelee taadu etiidi :D
holy cow! how does he tongue that fast?
I can't help but laugh at 4:27
how old was he when he played this?
at 2:44 too
lol french horns
crappy sound in this video, listen the applauses. I think I found only 1 (minor) mistake, and this is live-recording of very hard piece.
Sergeis virtuosity, intonation and tone are something unique. I think there won't be any trumpeter like him.
maybe the valve got stuck?
he would be better suited to tuba or euph or tenor horn with his condition.
@heringHH he has postural problems to do with his neck and back, that could be why
I guess these critics are much better players!
@AWiddit what?
HAHA
Car accident makes him do that, well thats what ive heard.
its cause he was in a car crash and he has a back problem, not bc he chooses not to
4:29..
back injury
@boraktong2010 i think cause hes rushing the song
to all those that thumbed me down, I was talking to anze190
BS. This is a live performance, not a recording. Of course, if you listen to recordings, they will be flawless, but how many interprets are going to play that piece live at the right tempo totally flawlessly every time from beginning to end? Not one.
Good, a couple of mistake though.
french horns in the back need some practice lol
and he cant play moto perpetuo or however its spelled
@james9533 i would recommend you to delete the videos you have before putting such comments like that. You are just proving your idiocy.
3 people don't know anything about playing trumpet. Or about music. Or about anything really.
@AWiddit Is this a horrible way to be funny or what?
what tha fuck u guys are cyring over a couple minor mistakes when hes playing 64ths like its nothing
Marsallis is better
