Two of the outstanding trumpet talents in history........and no screaming high notes.

Will,
Did he play the cadenza which is on the CD ? I mean the one that goes down to pedal E flat (below the staff) and the this crazy 2octaves separated e flats? I still cannot get this clear....Well, I got your point, but I believe that Marsalis could play this screaming notes at the time...
