I heard zarathustra a while ago and thought it was horrible. Not the performance , but for 4 trumpets just cant really pull it off. Seems like more of a lets get drunk and play some stuff than something to perform.
haha... some of them are more practical than others. The arrangement of Heldenleben is pretty good. As is the arrangement of Firebird. I never attempted to read through Zarathustra, I think it was a little out of my league... I'm sure if you got the right people to play it, but it would take some seriously monster players to pull off.
