Thanks to anyone who posts all of these Sergei videos! There were three other ones on here about five months ago that were very good. One was an interview of him.
Brilliant. The reason I love this man's playing is that of all the trumpeters who have wonderful technique these days, this guy plays with great musicality. It sounds like music, not just a show-off piece. And he plays it like a trumpet, not like a cornet. A live performance so you can forgive the odd fluff. Thanks for posting.
Most trumpet players in the know agree that Sergei is quite possibly the best trumpet player who has ever lived and may be the best who will every live. Listen to his album 'No Limit' -- end of story. He has an unreal control over his sound, color, range etc. He is astonishing the finest trumpet artists the world over.
Beautiful, virtuosic and maybe rushed at the ends of phrases in my opinion, but I love his playing! The fifth variation is a very fine example of making a very difficult piece of music sound incredibly easy. Thank you once again Sergei! Jason
@charvinaldo there are many different interpretations of every song that is out there and no single interpretation is the "best" its all about the listener's perspective. As one might say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
@josephxerritrumpet .The problem with classic music is .Its tone and tech,of course your have to have the tech.Both of these player have it. It would be very difficult to say who is playing if they were hidden.
he has an iteresting interperetation but very good, definately one of the best, and he's one of the best trumpet players ever. However, Winton's version of this songs is the best ever. .........but Sergei's moto perpetuo shows his real skill!
What happened to the video of him playing this in much better quality? I've been trying to find it for like 30 minutes. Don't tell me youtube deleted it =(
ooh la la, I like his ending. And yeah, no performance is perfect! Though, I do agree that you're not trying to sound arrogant. and what's with the thumbs down for liking Wynton's version better? Just opinions!
IMO playing his horn upside down is the only thing where Zoot has the advantage over Nakariakov. I do think Nakariakov is a little cleaner than Vizzuti though
I think he was in a car accident that messed up his spine so much that he couldn't play piano (his first instrument) for extended periods of time, since you have to sit down.
crappy sound in this video, listen the applauses. I think I found only 1 (minor) mistake, and this is live-recording of very hard piece. Sergeis virtuosity, intonation and tone are something unique. I think there won't be any trumpeter like him.
BS. This is a live performance, not a recording. Of course, if you listen to recordings, they will be flawless, but how many interprets are going to play that piece live at the right tempo totally flawlessly every time from beginning to end? Not one.
