Famous Symphony Trumpet Sections

Derek Reaban · 10-02-2005, 04:17 AM

I thought it would be interesting to look at symphony trumpet sections that have been together (no personnel changes) for MANY seasons. I came up with 8 sections that have been together for 13 or more seasons! That’s very impressive.

This is just a starting point for this topic. I’m sure there are lots of sections that I’ve missed, simply because I don’t have full section details on any other groups. I’m very interested to see how this develops!

If anyone knows the actual date when Donald Reinberg retired from the San Francisco Symphony then I can update the number of seasons for the first group on this list.

San Francisco Symphony

1980-1999? (19 Seasons)
Glenn Fischthal
Laurie McGaw (at least until 1995)
Chris Bogios
Donald Reinberg (at least until 1995, possibly until 1999 when Mark Inouye joined the section)

New York Philharmonic

1948-1962 (15 Seasons)
William Vacchiano
Nat Prager
John Ware
Jimmy Smith

NY Phil 1934-1942

Glantz
Prager
Vacchiano

Abbedd

abbedd · 10-02-2005, 08:49 AM

NBC 1946-1954

Harry Glantz
Frank Falcone
Ray Crisara

Glantz and Falcone from 1942.

From 1946 till its disbandment in 1954, NBC had only 2 changes in the entire brass section. Replacing a Tuba and an assistant horn. And it sounds it too. You should hear the 1952 Till

The Philadelphia Orchestra section of 1945-195?
Samuel G. Krauss
Seymour Rosenfeld
Harold Rehrig
Sigmund Hering

Wilmer

Alex Yates · 10-02-2005, 12:17 PM

I really like the Cleveland section with Mr. A (1973) and Wilmer, your list of the Philly players is a great bunch.....especially the first two.

Derek Reaban · 10-03-2005, 02:33 AM

Wilmer,

It was late last night when I was looking at these lists and I missed Philadelphia (not because I forgot them, but because Rosenfeld and Hering swapped positions in 1952).

The Philadelphia Orchestra

1946-1958 (12 Seasons)

Samuel Krauss
Sigmund Hering (to 4th trumpet in 1952)
Harold Rehrig
Seymore Rosenfeld (to 2nd trumpet in 1952)

In looking at the Philadelphia list in more detail I think this "trio" should be mentioned as well:

The Philadelphia Orchestra

1925-1945 (20 Seasons)
Saul Caston
Sigmund Hering
Harold Rehrig

And the following 4th trumpet players:
Rudolph Engel (1925-1931)
Melvin Headman (1931-1943)
Samuel Krauss (1943-1945)

Abbedd,

Thanks for your contributions! This is very interesting. Keep them coming!
