Carol Jantsch' Hachaturjan

[trseaman]

I think that perfection is probably impossible to reach, after all we're only human and it’s easy to judge, from our side of the fence... Maybe Ms Carol had no competition at this particular audition which allowed her to skate thru easily but I doubt it! She sounds awesome and why make any derogatory comments about her performances? She has a proven track record and will only grow as she matures. To me, age has nothing to do with it and there are many young performers that play very well, in fact better than many of us...

Could you please post a link to a recording of yourself playing it CORRECTLY?

Still waiting...

We may not know her...
We may not have seen her perform in concert...
But we still feel the need to criticize???

Someone has dipped into the HATERAIDE.

I do not know Ms. Jantsch but as a parent of an aspiring 18 year old tuba player with the same ambitions and as a 40 year old hacker...Hats off to her.

One easy way to see what makes Carol Jantsch such a special musician is to get the music for Khachaturian and try playing it yourself. I guarantee you'll find that what she makes sound so easy and natural is extraordinarily difficult. Give it a try and see what you think.

First of all I would like to congratulate to Ms. Jantsch for winnig the tuba position in Philadelphia! It's great!!

Altough I'm sure that she plays great, and with a great sense, I've one question. I find the sample-Hachaturjan not exactly played. Or is it just the quality of the recording? I find it a bit monodynamic, and intonation isn't all right as well? I know its a live recording!

Sorry if it sounds negativ, I dont want to degrade Ms. Jantsch' great playing, I just want to find out, what makes her so good in others opinion!!

Thanks a lot.

You'll find the link right below the title of the article. It's a one minute excerpt (with an 18 second piano introduction ). I'd love to hear the whole thing.

No one on here did, but several people whom I respected greatly as musicians and people have said this to me in normal conversations, and I felt it was necessary to say something in a public forum to discourage anyone else from making such an immature comment.

It's good to know that whenever there's something immature or insensitive to say, TubeNet has Andy to do the job.

Thanks -- just listened to it. She does "play the socks off it", doesn't she? Very impressive.
