In Reply to: there are some real good compilations on LP posted by docw on April 24, 2007 at 07:20:13:
I have a couple of wedding cd's...that's where I got the Pachelbel Canon (Kanon?) and a few others...Trumpet Voluntary (I play the trumpet myself, is why this stood out)I just listened to two versions of Gorecki Symphony No. 3 "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs" It is almost an hour long...but I drank in every minute of it...Now I have to debate on which version to get (It was a friend's music)-Dawn Upshaw singing soprano, London Sinfonietta with David Zinman conducting, or the Szymanowski Philharmonic Orchestra version, Cracow (I think Cracow would be the conductor, but I am not sure)
Either way that was definitely a good suggestion/find.
Makes it even better knowing it was written in memory of the Holocaust...
Follow Ups:
The Cracow Philharmonic is named for Karol Szymanowski ("Karol Szymanowski State Philharmonic Orchestra"). Cracow is the city in Poland, from whence the orchestra originates in the 2nd recording (linked).The Upshaw recording is oft mentioned. She was found to have cancer, if I am not mistaken.
If you play the trumpet, what genre? Jazz, pop and/or classical? There is plenty of wonderful trumpet stuff for classical.
I play...well whatever comes around. But mostly Jazz and Classical...I also play in a Community Band, which plays a lot of Patriotic music...combined with big band scores...an odd arrangement, but it works.But I tend to like to play Jazz more than most things...classical trumpet is a bit...dry. The improvisation and odd rhythms and bluesy, soulful just get to me. Jazz can be both fun and sad...its hard to explain.
Jazz I guess is more...raw. Less refined. Simpler, yet gets its point across through lyrics that play on your humor, as well as tell a story.
Like I said, it's hard to explain.
"Cracow is the city in Poland"
That explains a lot. I always thought it was a sound birds make.
Didn't mean to double post, but just to clarify:I have never been able to play in an orchestral or symphony arrangement...so I have never been able to REALLY play classical trumpet with a decent...what I meant by classical trumpet I guess was the baroque stuff I generally play...in small ensembles and the like.
I imagine I would like the exciting way trumpets can be utilized in some pieces...but I still like jazz more.
