I, too, was blessed to hear him live, at Central Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, many years ago, accompanied by the glorious Casavant organ there. What a thrill for the young people in this video to perform with him!
Definitely the royal wedding arraingement of this magnificent piece!!! We see here maurice in his glorious prime at the height of his powers hitting this one way out the park!!!!!! It was moments like this that made him the greatest trumpeter of the 20 th, century!!!!
Con mi hijo de corta edad, asistí hace 33 años en Valencia (España) a un concierto de André; pasamos a que nos firmara el programa y, al ver a un niño tan pequeño en un concierto, le hizo una cariñosa carantoña... hoy mi hijo es ingeniero de telecomunicación, tiene la carrera de piano y de bombardino, y toca en varias bandas... y yo no sé qué me hace más feliz ¡Gracias, Maurice, sigue tocando en el cielo y, cómo no ¡GRACIAS, MUSICA!
This is one of those rare fantastic pieces of music like the minuets of Handel's fireworks musik thatreally does it for me, I envision going "over the top" and being either victorious or gloriously massacred.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mmr16Fd2vq4.html This version's quality is better. Not great, but better. There's a lot of white noise, but the sound isn't clipping anymore so you can appreciate the power of the whole brass section
Surtout avec Maurice André qui souffle !!!! comme quoi un mineur de fond peut se hisser dans les hautes sphères de la musique !!! MERCI POUR CE MOMENT D'INTENSE EMOTION !!!!!!
This piece is marvellous! It's a pity that the version on youtube is that bad : through bad (too loud) recording excessive distortion occurs in the sound
I did some research based on the logo on the performance screen "Musique Classique". Apparently this was performance was a television broadcast and maybe we are seeing the home-recorded broadcast. For those who want to obtain the studio's recording, here is Wikipedia's discussion of Musique Classique. PLease post if you locate the original recording. Wikipedia: MUSIQUE CLASSIQUE. Created on 2 April 1996, Musique Classique was a television channel owned by AB Groupe. The programming consisted of classical concerts, opera, lyrical works, and magazine programmes (e.g. À livret ouvert...). The channel was run by Jean-Michel Fava. Musique Classique was shown on the AB Sat package, some cable operators, such as Noos-Numericable (see also Numericable (NOOS)) and ADSL operators such as Freebox TV. The channel was not available on Canalsat or TPS. History[edit] On October 15, 2007 at 10:00 AM, the channel ceased broadcasting to make way for Ciné First, which also stopped in September 2010.[1]
I don't know who you are but from my knowledge it seems to be that you are right: Trumpet Voluntary was composed by Jeremiah Clarke and not by Henry Purcell. :-) This piece I would like to hear about the original baroque trumpets. This is another sonority world.
OMG. I appreciate good honking. Andre is simply beyond belief. This was an exquisite performance of the Clark March. I'd buy the DVD if it was recorded. Unparalleled.
Jamesbondus1820 😢 Google translate i'm French ans my english is bad. Un grand monsieur ! Un instrument presque oublié, un peu méprisé. Il ne reste que ces moments fantastiques en images grâce à Internet. Maurice André est enterré dans le Sud de la France, dans le département de la Lozère, entre Nîmes et Lyon. Si vous avez l'occasion de visiter notre Pays 🇫🇷 pensez-y. Thanks a lot
grrrrrr! - this is NOT Purcell, it was attributed to him for many years but was written by the contemporary English composer Jeremiah Clark and is called "The Prince of Denmark's March" - I conducted this when at school in the late 1980s and knew it's true provenance back then - in 1993 Maurice Andre should have known better!
