On a thread now long gone, with the various back and forth of heated dialogue, this fellow was briefly mentioned.
In contrast to the world today, dark timbres never did much for me. Unless there is unmistakable 'brilliance' in the sound, there isn't as much to get worked up about. Imo.
Hey rothman, that's me. I am from the Netherlands (so is Otto Ketting). I am the lead trumpet player of the Marineband of the Royal Netherlands now. This recording was on a cd with only works of Otto Ketting for Fanfare Band. He was there when the cd was presented. A couple of months after he died.

Thomas, you sounded excellent on that piece. Sorry to put you on the spot here, except that for whatever reason, I tend to hear fewer people in legit settings projecting in a manner remotely connected to André. Starting to believe that what is needed are a few lead players such as yourself, in front of a chamber orchestra on occasion, to prevent it from fading out.

Thanks for the compliment. I try to play solo as much as I can, in any setting. I don't think the André influence will fade out anytime soon. He for sure was my example, I had the privilege to hear him in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam once when he was already at the end of his life / carreer, it of course still was amazing. There are some amazing players out there right now but for sure they all listened to MA. All the best!
