Arutiunian Trumpet Concerto - John Parker, trumpet, with the UNC Symphony Orchestra 

For interested viewers, John is currently the associate principal trumpet for the Houston Symphony.

This guy is monster! He's a very humble musician and always learning and getting better. If you think this is good, you should hear him play now! He's an awesome person to study with as well. Great job John

i played this with my college orchestra. his double tounging clarity kicks my ass. well done sir.

Wow, amazing opening with perfect tone!

Absolutely beautiful. I hope someday I have a fantastic tone like this

Almost flawless performance of this very testing concerto. Congratulations John. You clearly have an awesome technique. The orchestra's work was tight and precise and most sensitive in the gorgeous slow movement. This is a performance for other young trumpeters to aspire to. Love it!

Hi performance is excellent, but you should hear Timofei Dokscheizer's recording!

Perfect sound, beautiful tone, I love this performance, you are amazing trumpet player. Greetings from Russia ! :)

I thought I was good at a trumpet, and then this happened.

Excellent playing, John! You sound fantastic!

I have heard many people play this hauntingly Beautiful concerto and I feel Arturo's version is very good,but you stand right next to him in your control and emotional conveyance of this beautiful piece!! BRAVO!!!!

I'm playing this song for Solo and Ensemble in March and I absolutely love this recording of it. Perfect!

Reflection of Armenia in this music ❤

Alexander Harutiunian is an Armenian🇦🇲composer, and he is playin very well, bravo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That tone is so full and beautiful! Well done

Деташе на звук ]Та[ как вы не можете понять, и маркированные четверти в начале

My god, that clarity just gives me the chills.

Bonjour les OSS, nous cherchions un moyen de vous joindre. Voici le lien de la suite de la mission : ru-vid.comw9IyurmqMAI?feature=share

I can hear the Haydn influence in this piece. Blending different eras together. 👌🏻

dokshitzer performs this concert best of all

I was really surprised to find here a discussion about the technique of the player. He is really brilliant, no doubt. However, today everybody is crazy about the technique of the sound and voice. I may be wrong, but this makes art /music some kind of Olympic sports. I play piano myself. I love music very much, and, art isn’t about technique, in my opinion, it’s about soul and loving what you are doing. This music is wonderful, by the way.

Почему во вступлении , пассаж гамму от До до Фа ,западные трубачи играют легато ?У Арутюняна , двойное стаккато.Друзья, слушайте и учитесь у Тимофея Александроаича Докшицира!

Very nice! Great tone and musicality!

5:50 playing this for an audition!!

В оркестре собраны исполнители, добившиеся потрясающим владением техникой и звучанием своих инструментов!

Un meraviglioso lavoro per tromba racchiude i sapori e i colori di Shostakovic e Kachaturiam. Una impeccabile esecuzione.

Is he using ytr9335chs?

What trumpet is he playing???

The whole thing was excellent. Especially the cadenza.

Virtually Flawless. Bravo!

Who is the recording engineer? How can we get more information about the mics, preamps, etc?

Nice to hear a 20th century piece that iSN'T atonal. I'm going to have to check out more of this composer's music. I'd never heard of him before today.

1:52

Great performance. Will definitely look up some of his more recent work. Thanks for posting!

I love the eyes in 8:59. pure love for music!!

Outstanding! Looking forward to performing this concerto next month with our orchestra. It’ll be a glorious time!

This is 2021. I see live audience, I immediately check the year it was published.

Looks like he is crying the whole time Oo

It's been awhile since I've heard the full orchestra version of this. What a lovely piece of music.

1:27

wow......................when you think you are good at trumpet

13:59

Damn! what a sound! Great control of tone! I aspire to this guys playing!

Excellent, excellent playing, love your vibrato! Gives it a fantastic vintage sound that's quite appropriate while at the same time reminding me of many of the great British trumpeters (esp. Maurice). Absolutely nailed it to the back of the hall stylistically in my opinion. Well done my friend!

best interpratation and best sound on youtube for sure, even though not flawless, but does it matter with this awesome sound? not at all :)

This is really good! Hats off for John! I hope to listen to him live.

Восхитительное звучание инструмента!

I'm a sophomore in Symphony Orchestra and I have to play this for contest.

Bravo chaval impresionante serás un gran músico y un excelente trompeta bravo

Not so bad

I have to play this for my audition for the county highschool honor band

srsly nice job, concratulations from motherland of this song Armenia :)

Not familiar with this work I tuned in after reading that it's the most popular trumpet concerto after those of Haydn and Hummel. No wonder! Guaranteed crowd pleaser and terrifically played here! A minor quibble - why does the camera avoid John Parker's face when it's not got a trumpet in front of it? It's often fascinating to watch solo performers during orchestral interludes when they're not playing - are they totally focused inwards, aware of their supporting players, watching the conductor or confidently looking out at their audience? In this case it helps that he's obviously a good-looking bloke so why only the back of his head or distance shots?...

Did u perform with the Houston Symphony a couple of weeks ago? Rhapsody in Blue???

Meraviglioso trombettista 🤩

Absolute machine 💪

excellent.. should be played more!!

Trumpeter looks like Michael Buble!

Excellent performance!

Beautiful playing John. Absolutely loved your performance. Congrats

I hope to play like that one day. Maybe in a few years after I get out of high school...

Wonderful!!

me gusta mucho el sonido dulce que mantiene en todo el concierto. los matices. me gusta también la cadencia final

Very well played!

Nice fat Bb Trumpet sound. Like it was meant to be played not on some crap rotary valve trumpet like Gabor. The Maestro Timofei played the big horn and the solo was written for him I believe.
