Outstanding.
He has some big cajones playing those pieces back to back and he sounded wonderful. |

| How refreshing. It's so nice to not hear the dynamic blastissimo! |

What horn/s did he use for those tunes?

That's why he is where he is. He is an astonishing player sitting in arguably the toughest principal trumpet chair in the world and he is only going to get better!
He won that job over some marvelous players, too.

| More like, what sound? Is this a bad sounding room? I don't get it. What a puny note on the end of the Jolivet. |

Surely you have enough sense to know you can't judge someones sound on a recording, especially a podcast. Posted comments from people who heard this performance live were all positive.
As far as the last note of the Jolivet, I guess since it wasn't 140 decibels, it didn't suit you, huh? Chris has such a good sound that it carries without being super loud. That's how ALL symphony trumpet players used to play, until the German conductors started arriving in America and wanted their brass sections playing blastissimo.
Here's a simple question for you: How loud should the last note of the Jolivet be?
Have a nice day! |

I thought the note sounded fine.
How loud would you recommend playing that C, if you had a brief intermission and the full Tomasi Concerto to perform immediately after?
Edit: I shouldn't assume Mr. Martin's volume on the end of the Jolivet had anything to do with endurance or chop saving in some way. The D on the end of the Tomasi was loud and clear  |

Who heard it live? I see comments from people that only heard this recording and claimed it was lush, beautiful, and so forth. Doesn't sound so to me on this recording. I can tell what a great sound Dave Hickman has from this video.

Shouldn't the Chicago Symphony get a recording at least that accurate on it's website?
As for the last note, since it a high concert C marked FF I would at least like it to have enough balls so that it doesn't sound like a straight mute is jammed tight in the bell.
Mager and Voisin played fairly loud  . Which germans have you heard that influenced them?
I hope that you have a nice day too. |

Mr. Hickman certainly sounds great on that clip, but honestly I prefer the sound (recording) of the Chicago Symphony concert. We all have different ears (and computer speakers, headphones, etc.) and opinions, but for you to say that the CSO doesn't have an accurate recording is really stretching it. I'd be willing to bet their equipment and engineers do at least as well as a little handheld video camera.

Dearest bracciodiferro
First of you are being a real sweet heart here. It's sad to see that your efforts in making your community band trumpet section sound better are going nowhere, but I digress. Most people on here, myself included think Chris sounds great on this and every other live and recorded performance we have ever heard. That being said, you are of course entitled to your opinion. But I feel like the next time you want to get on here and rip up someone, you should at least clean out your snake ears first. In other words you are probably eartarded.
Have you ever had anything written about you online or in a newspaper when you bust out your Stephen Foster favorites at the local rest home? Well, maybe you have. I am sure it was awesome. Of course whatever was written was actually probably written on the back of a napkin after some 89 year old spit up her dentures because her mashed potatoes got caught in her feeding tube when she went to go empty her poop bag.
Also, where is your recording of these pieces? We would love to hear it. Until then go away and stop making your sister wear the Louisiana Bow Tie.
all the best
with love
Stay Classy

| I doubt Prof. Hickman wants his name being used to downplay Chris Martin, one of the greater orchestral players of our day. But Dave does sound great! And who really plays their best infront of a hundred squirming elementary students, after lugging in a bunch of cases and setting up a table of horns, and probably not getting much of a warmup. All from a guy who retired from most touring several years ago... its very impressive to me. |

You are not going to ever get a positive response from saying something like that, especially not on trumpet herald.
People here don't often want to hear the truth (That statement has nothing to do with your comment but in general). Musicians are sensitive
Sorry bracciodiferro

I love the control he demonstrates. It is amplified particularly in the Tomasi- AFTER having played Jolivet just a short few minutes before. He still sounds fresh and flexible- as if he could do more. Finesse and beauty of sound rule the day.
His approach to the French solo literature is, I think, very appropriate: light, fluid, buoyant, and articulate. Remember: this is NOT a Mahler symphony or Wagner overture. It is not appropriate to drive a finishing nail with a sledge hammer.
*If you want to compare performances then go ahead and start that thread.
