Guess: Who plays Bydlo?

Post by Mark »

Before you watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7xIiT5 ... e=youtu.be, guess who will play Bydlo: Alessi, Finlayson, Bollinger or Olka.

Then stick around for some incredible Prokofiev.

Great playing of course but an American "all-star" orchestra where none of the brass players (or at least low brass) are from the Chicago Symphony? That's like having an all-star baseball team in early 2000s with no New York Yankee player on the roster.

Hey, I was totally wrong. I guessed Mr. Alessi would want that gem, but it was fun anyway. I figured Olka would not want to ship a euph to play 16 bars, at least I had that right.

Hmm... I thought for sure that Chris Olka would be playing a Wessex French C for Pictures. I mean, the market was clamoring for a French C to become available so we wouldn't have to listen to that awful huge 6/4 CC sound anymore.

The relative sizes of the mp shank and the receiver determine insertion depth. This mp is inserted at the observed depth because of this relationship.

I figured Alessi would not want anyone else playing a solo in the section but... my goodness he is a fine player. What's he playing, a Yamaha 321?

Kudos to Chris Olka, sounds great!

I agree with the comment about not having a single Chicago Brass player in the section. Kinda demotes the whole thing for me.

Beautiful playing! It makes me smile to see a yamaha 321. I see so many band directors that have to “upgrade” from a yamaha 321 to whatever “it” brand and model. These are great horns! I believe Norman Bolter recorded Mahler 7 on a Yamaha 321 and it sounds amazing!
