An amazing guy!! Praise the Lord

You should look her up. Zita Carnow. She was the pianist for the Los Angeles Philharmonic for a very long time and accompanied Tommy Stevens on the one of the best recordings of the Hindemith Trumpet Sonata. Notice she played that from MEMORY. Phil Smith didn't know just who he was dealing with. She was awesome and the piano part for the Hindemith is WAY more of a challenge than the trumpet part.

Thank you for posting this Jeff. I am surprised at how many solos and classes that I have done appear on RU-vid! To be clear, I absolutely knew who Zita was and had great respect for her! Anyone who listened, as I did, to the wonderful recordings of Tom Stevens would realize what a terrific team they were. I was amazed at how she could play the Hindemith. While I never performed this piece live, I am thrilled that this impromptu performance of the first movement exists!!

Very cool to have you respond to this. I had the video in a camcorder for so long and paid to have someone transfer it because I didn’t even own a camcorder. I’m glad it was saved. I think I have some video of your performance at the Ambassador Auditorium that night. I wish I would have had a tripod. You played great as usual and it was a very fun thing to witness.

Perhaps so! But, ... perhaps James Austin.

Yo tuve la dicha de invitarlo a dar una máster class en México cuando vino la orquesta y sí , es un gran SER HUMANO y de los mejores trompetistas del mundo

¡Gracias! Pro favor, compártelos.

Good point, I'm sure it is connected.

Me too. You just gave me an idea. He’s not far from me. Maybe less than a two hour drive.

I think so

That's Napoli by Herman Belstedt. You should hear the recording of Del Staigers do that. The Staigers recording is in a couple of the final lectures on my website with the Claude Gordon Camps. Listen to the recordings found on this page. You have to create a free account and login to hear them. www.purtle.com/claude-gordon-archives

@@JeffPurtle Thank you, Jeff.

Napoli by Herman Belstedt I think. You need to hear the Del Staigers recording.

I guess for the same reason people keep keeping up with the kardashians - It's just something we do.

Perhaps they don't think it's 'bad' but in fact actually like the piece? Objectively, Tomasi was quite a fine composer and his music continues to be performed regularly.

I wonder if you heard it played musically with the original style whether you’d think of the piece differently. Unfortunately, most performances of it (like this one) are dry and technical based :/

Hi Noa! I look forward to hearing your performance.

@@philipsmith3676 Hi Mr. Smith, I have a recording of it from my last year's recital if you'd like to listen to it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fUKen8xoGAk.html
