While I'm sure the Boston concert will be wonderful, it has no chance of reaching the heights of greatness that are achieved by the true epitome of the Mahler 5 experience:

Can somebody explain the more than two thousand posts of Alexwill to me?
Is it advertising? I really don't know what to do with it. |

| AlexWill provides the trumpet community an incredible service by being on top of the world of live music performance and informing us in a very timely way. I, and I'm sure many others, very much appreciate his efforts. |

So you are inspired to post the fifth one in 4 years or so.
But I am not doubting the good intentions of Alexwill but I don't see how it all fits in a trumpetforum.
Same for software to make Lp's aso digital. |

What do you mean, man? He's posting links to performances for us to listen to online that we otherwise would most likely never get to hear. I'm not sure why this is confusing for you. Thanks to Alex, I had the pleasure of listening to this performance of Mahler 5 by the BSO on my way home today. |

I agree. What could possibly be bad about posting links to musical performances that we can all enjoy if we so wish?
You'd rather see a thread where someone asks "what size mouthpiece should I buy" followed by 4 or 5 pages of "ask your teacher" and "get a 3C" replies for the 4 millionth time instead? |

| Honestly, I rarely watch alexwill's many linked videos, but I do every now and again, and I think it's a great service to the TH community. Delano, if you don't like it, well, okay, you're entitled to your opinion. I think it's great though, and would respectfully suggest that, if you don't like it, you could just not read his/her posts in future. |

I also believe Alexwill is providing a great service to the trumpet herald community. Orchestras rarely record these days so broadcast performances are sometimes the only way to hear the great trumpet playing going on out there. It is easy enough to not click on his threads if the subject does not interest you. Thanks for all of your hard work!

I really trie to understand, but I had some problems linking some threads to a trumpetforum.
I see two lines. One is: it's a good service for the TH members. But a really good thread about bassguitarists can be a very good service for some TH-members but still I don't see the connection with the trumpet.
Second: TH-members seem to listen to symphonies for the trumpetplayers involved.
OK, I have to admit you all are right, I am wrong but my lousy excuse is: I could not imagine a thing like that. Thanks anyway. |

Okay, I'm going to make a guess, and please don't take this wrong if I am incorrect. It seems from your posts that you are having difficulty understanding why posts like this are relevant to trumpet players.
In this particular case, it's about a performance of Mahler 5. One of the most famous orchestral works that features (extremely prominently) the principal trumpet player, as well as the section and other brass throughout. It opens with the 1st trumpet playing all alone in a very famous opening followed by a lot more solo playing throughout.
Asking why Mahler 5 could be relevant to trumpet players is analogous to asking why a lumber yard is relevant to a carpenter.
There are of course other orchestral works that are widely known to the vast majority -- but apparently not all -- trumpet players. Pictures at an Exhibition is another "feature" work for the trumpet player. There are numerous threads already on TH discussing which orchestral pieces are most challenging for trumpet players, so I won't even begin to try and enumerate them here again.
If you are primarily a jazz trumpeter, I can see how you might not be even remotely interested in this, but I'd suggest too narrow a listening view into trumpet performance is possibly more harmful than good. I think it's obviously good for all of us to be exposed to great playing outside our main interest areas, even if only on an occasional basis. I'll probably never play in a mariachi band for example, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating when it's done very well, even if it doesn't make my playlist very often. |

I know Mahler 5, there is a big tradition in Mahler with the KCO in Amsterdam. And I know the trumpet part, but:

Nice service, nice music but more of piano, singing and so on.
BTW good service also (posted at the thread about the Edwards Genesis):
