Hi all! This is my first post here, but I've been reading trumpetherald for a while now.
I recently got a recording of the St. Louis Symphony (Slatkin) playing Pictures at an Exhibition, and the sizzle of the trumpet player in the opening Promenade is astounding. Here is a link to a page for the album: https://www.discogs.com/Mussorgsky-Leonard-Slatkin-Saint-Louis-Symphony-Orchestra-Pictures-At-An-ExhibitionNight-On-Bald-Mou/master/656469
Does anyone know who's playing principal trumpet on this recording? It was made in either 1975 or 1976.
Thank you!
Matt

Susan Slaughter was the principal then. I don't know her playing well enough to say if the distinctive style on that recording is hers. |

| That would be very interesting to hear. Susan was principal then, and Slatkin was an assistant conductor at the time. The music director was Susskind, who left and was replaced by Semkow about the same time this was recorded. I wonder if the recording went to Slatkin due to the transition. |
