R.A.S.

Can anyone tell me who was in the trumpet section of the Columbia Symphony Orchestra in 1962?

I came across a record of Stravinsky conducting Firebird.

R.A.S.,

Teddy Weis? Perhaps Derek Reaban has time to search the Columbia archives and tell us. . . Derek?

Columbia Symphony Trivia:

..........However, the Columbia Orchestra which appeared on Bruno Walter's stereo recordings from 1957 onward was something different and very special.................
The result was a new Columbia Symphony Orchestra, chosen specifically by and for Walter. This group was an ensemble of 50 to 70 members, assembled from the best freelance musicians on the West Coast, ............
so if it was from 1958, it would be the west coast group. i wonder if columbia records has the personnel rosters from those sessions? could it be the famous studio guys? uan rasey? jimmy stamp? who was in the LA PHIl back then?

Hi,
Bob Divall was the principal player on MOST all of those recordings. I will ask the appropiate people about who THAT particular performer would have been...If I have the recording with me (I might), I will listen to it...I think I can pick DiVall's playing out.

Maybe this will help.
