Check out this video on youtube with Solti conducting and Jacobs playing tuba.

I remember the night they recorded this. I was in the gallery and, in the old days, the sound went right up there. The bones were so loud, it was incredible.

Wonder when someone from Youtube will pull this? No question is is copyrighted material. Listen to it while you can!

Although I would NEVER consider doing this myself, especially to something that may be copyright, is there any way to permanently download and save a file from YouTube?

For those who knew AJ while he was still regularly playing in CSO, this must bring a few tears and good memories.

Are there any published videos with stereo audio of a CSO performance or rehearsal that contain good views and sounds of Mr. Jacobs?

Since it's Wagner, do you have to use the 'auf Deutsch' version?

Yes, he was breathing for nearly every note. When I do that, my tuba-playing-with-six-liter-lungs-and-who-can-circular-breathe conductor complains, heh, heh.

thank you so much! we are playing this piece this week - me for the first time, what a joy to see my old teacher jake play this, and, those trombones.....wow!!!!!

Where can one buy these DVD recordings?

Two thoughts. I'm feeling much younger now,and I'm smiling in rapture at the sound of those bones, eyes rolling back in head,etc.....

WOW that's awesome!! Amazing.

(and you can even hear the dryness of the pre-modified Orchestra Hall!!)

I can now better understand the magic of the CSO! Thanks

I actually own this video. It is coupled with Flying Dutchman and Berlioz Romeo and Juliet. The R&J is quite spectacular as well. I bought it in Japan, not sure where or if it is available here.

Pete, is it on VHS or DVD? I assume that it is playable here in North America.

I'll be it's sitting on the shelf of the CSO gift shop if it's still in print.

See if anyone spots it!
Brian don't say anything yet, see if out collegues figure it out. I'm doing Zarathustra tomorrow (2nd) on the Nirschl. This video is the best class on York intonation I've had!!
Also the best demonstration of a short bow!

Looks like he must've used 2-5 for both the A, and the E!

Bump to the top - this is a must hear for anyone who hasn't yet (even if the trombones are just a little bit loud ) The flawless woodwinds and virtuosic strings are not to be overlooked as well.

Side rant: I am tired of every clown with a B.Mus. out there who thinks that "the greats" of yesteryear would be hacks today. While styles may have changed over the years, true musical greatness is timeless.

Amen brother! Those guys knew exactly what their job was supposed to be in a symphony orchestra and they let nothing get in the way of them doing it, on or off the stage. No petty nonsense, no BS, just show up prepared and blow. What a sound!

For those of us who would like to order the DVD, would you mind posting the "particulars?"
