I’m pretty sure Malcom McNab was the soloist for the original. Listen to his solo from dances with wolves abs you’ll hear it’s the same sound. He primarily used an Eb trumpet throughout his career in the LA studios.
Hi, Thanks for watching! It was suggested below that Maurice Murphy played the solo. I don't know the answer conclusively by any means, but I do know that Jerry Goldsmith worked in London a lot (such as for his score to the Mummy a few years after) and I am inclined to say that although (rather embarrassingly) I didn't recognise the sound straight away, I think the breadth of sound, warmth and vibrato are closer to Maurice than Malcolm. Don't get me wrong, Malcolm is an insanely amazing player but I think this is a slightly warmer sound than I would normally associate with his playing. If you listen to end of the second solo on the OST, where it rises to the concert Ab, that sound is much more Bb trumpet (Imo) than either Eb or C, which Malcolm would have been more likely to have used. But I stand to be corrected and am certainly not 100% sure myself! Thanks again
Really? That's amazing! Maurice is my hero! I'm a bit disappointed I didn't recognise that, because usually it takes about 2 notes with him! Thanks for the info!
You know, now I don't recall where I saw him credited. The LSO is not credited, but it was recorded in London, with I imagine the usual suspects. I also hear his distinctive vibrato in the original recording of that solo. I myself am a huge fan of his playing; hes the reason I picked up this instrument in the first place when I was in 5th grade, but I didn't know it until I was much older.
Beautiful playing!
chills !
Totally rad, I'm learning this now

Maurice Murphy would have been the soloist in '79. Great channel btw.
