I have always liked the Chicago Symphony brass. My favorite is the conclusion to Franz Schmidt's Symphony 2. Check out the enormous sonority of the brass section, particularly the trumpets. It is, uh, breathtaking.

Re: Bud Herseth and Company
The one with the b&w picture - based on the tonal/rhythmical pallet - can be nothing other than R. Strauss.
I've heard that piece a few times (on the radio - I'm certain that I don't own a recording of it), know that I've not played it, but cannot recall its name.

Re: Bud Herseth and Company
The guy in the photo is the composer, Franz Schmidt. He bears no physical resemblance to Richard Strauss, but was writing adventurously for brass in a manner very similar to Strauss. They were contemporaries.bloke wrote: ↑Mon May 30, 2022 2:42 pm The one with the b&w picture - based on the tonal/rhythmical pallet - can be nothing other than R. Strauss.

Re: Bud Herseth and Company
We must be discussing a different link.
The one I identified as Strauss is - indeed - Strauss.
I finally realized it is an except from Symphonia Domestica.

Yes, Symphonia Domestica, such a fun piece of music. I've never played it, but I really enjoy listening to it, especially the Fritz Reiner CSO recording.

Re: Bud Herseth and Company
Just came across this thread. Brings back memories. I was fortunate to have studied with these guys at Northwestern while they were still playing in the CSO. Attended countless concerts, each one a wonderful experience.
After Herseth's premier of the Husa concerto (Solti conducting), I went backstage and got autographs of the soloist, the composer, and the conductor on the program. I still have it somewhere and wonder how much it's worth.
