Your all time greatest ORCHESTRAL trumpet section

bandman · 10-14-2006, 11:36 PM

If you could make up a classical orchestral trumpet section of any players living or dead, who would you include?

After thinking about this for a while I would put up the following names:

Armando Ghitalla
Adolph Sylvester (Bud) Herseth
Gerard Schwarz
William Vacchiano
Roger Louis Voisin
Adel Sanchez

I know you would never take 6 trumpets, but I could not decide who I would take. I love Sanchez -- I know he might not make many lists of this type, but he is really a great player. As long as I had too many players I had to add him in simply because he's someone I've admired since I was in high school.

In no particular order:

Michael Sachs
Bud Herseth
Manny Laureano
Mark Inouye

That would also probably the loudest section of all times =)

Maurice Murphy
John MacMurray
Manny Laureano
Me.

BTW, Principal players usually get to where they are because they are exceptionally good musicians, so they know how to play in the section. I don't think ego would be much of a problem for most of them.

My personal standard for section playing was present for the Gabrieli antiphonal recording with the Philadelphia, Chicago and Cleveland brass sections. Basically every type of style was covered from Gil Johnsons super elegant playing (Manny has this position today as far as I am concerned), Bud Herseths' incredible power and Herb Adesteins attention to detail. They all had "perfectly matched" second tpts(or entire brass sections for that matter).
For me the definitive picture of american orchestral playing.

The Met Trumpet section of the late nineties was pretty close to perfect. Mark Gould, Jim Pandolfi, Pete Bond, and the other guy whose name escapes me right now......

Principal Trumpet: Tom Stevens (Solti's choice for the World Orchestra for Peace. . .did you know?)
Second Trumpet: Vince Cichowicz (Bud's mirror)
Associate Principal: Tamás Velenczei (Berliner Philharmoniker; my favorite amongst the current crop of orchestral trumpeters)
Fourth Trumpet: Tim Kent (to write about it)

Everyone else is good too
