I think brass vibrato is less-offensive in contemporary works. Although I disagree about "Daphnis et Chloe".If there is one classical passage where vibrato in the brass is appropriate, it's the re-capitulation in the third movement of Rachmaninoff's Third Concerto. The trumpets basically play the main melody for the second time, and then the melody is "finished off", ending in a full orchestral climax. That melody is one of very few I actually prefer *with* vibrato. (And is played as such in a lot of cases.)
Another case is the trumpet melody in Resphigi's "Pines of Rome".... Even Bernard Adelstein does this with vibrato. Mainly because it is a "contemporary" melody, as opposed to a strict brass structure in a classical work.
A case where I think this is "optional" is the opening to the Ravel orchestration of Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition"..... Although I personally prefer it played without vibrato. Another case is Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony.
But gawd, I also heard this done with the horn melody in the final movement of the Brahms One, and it was **horrible**. Brahms should **never** have vibrato in the brass.
