Sergei ...you are the best of the best, of the best and so on. There are many super trumpettist in the world and I dont have to mention them, but I am really sorry that I (we) have never seen and hear you on a cornet. I am imagining how you will sound on a cornet.
The instrument chosen by the composer is part of the work of art. A composer doesnt write for „any“ instrument. I dont need to hear Sibelius Violin concerto played by an orchestra of accordeons.
Its so great to have a view into your thoughts. Thank you for sharing with us. It's so clear that music comes first in your mind and everything else simply serves this purpose.
how I loved to sinf this aria the trumpet is a very good intuition thinking about the words of the aria! bravissimo! and what colors! what opening! what emotion!
Sublime! You were great with Martha Argerich last night at the Teatro Colón Concert! Congratulations!👏👏👏👏👏I look forward to next July 27 to enjoy your talent!🎼🎹🎺🎵🎶❤
Lovely comments about the Courtois flugelhorn, I love those, and I met the son of Jaques Gaudet once, at Amboise, playing trombone in a Brass Band from Belgium at a contest there...
Really interesting sound on AR feroce...do you have a full recording? Sergey is really outstanding performing this piece...im hearing alot of beautiful full sound that reminds me a sound of maestro Dokshitser...thank you Sergey to make it live again!
I was injured in college playing in too many bands with little rest. My embouchure changed and adapted and now at 30 years old I'm able to play like I did again, I'm so happy. And it's in large part to this man Sergei, whom I saw a video of diddling in his fire-heated cabin, tinkering with his horns. The sheer effortlessness of his technique (and the likes of Allen Vizutti) are what showed me that it can be done the right way. Thank you Sergei for your dedication to the craft that inspired me to find my happiness again
Refreshing to hear that you sometimes use Clarke's 2nd in your warmups like so many do. It works. And yeah, the Jerry Hey horns are absolute masters at what they do, fantastic listening.
Two year late seeing this, but will look for new ones. I have no questions but want to tell you how much I appreciate your music. I discovered you with a cd I bought for my brother, now gone. He played trumpet, while I played saxophone during out youth> I am an 88 year old widow and the sweetness of your Carnival of Venice literally brought tears to my eyes. When I heard it, I immediately bought it and sent it to my brother. I have since bought a copy for myself. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to your music. It is much appreciated, especially to this old lady. My picture for this sight is actually a young Russian boy I taught English to in Beijing. We were in front of the Russian restaurant there. Coincidence truly.
I always thought he was somewhere between Oldman and David Thewlis in facial structure. But yes, truly one of the most incredible living brass players.
