A simply wonderful performance! Made all the more thrilling because it's a live performance. You can be very pleased with it.

However, if you're open to a few observations I would submit the following - The trumpet is much too loud and bombastic and the ensemble is considerably out of balance because of it (certainly the position of the microphone doesn't help). Remember it's NOT a solo trumpet concerto! Obviously you have the chops to play more delicately and reservedly. More finess certainly would fit better in the context with the other solo instruments. Perhaps you shoud try to think more like a woodwind player rather than a brass player. The trumpet is a musical instrument afterall.

Disagree and villify if you will. And no, I couldn't do better.
