Monday YouTube Fix: New York Philharmonic/Kurt Masur - Schumann Symphony No. 3

Monday YouTube Fix
Written By Andrew Hitz

This is such a great clip. The trombone section, lead by Joe Alessi, makes this seems so easy and effortless. But anyone familiar with this movement realize that it is anything but easy. I love the close-up of Joe at the most difficult point of the excerpt.  He looks so relaxed that you wonder if he was about to fall asleep.  Just another day at the office for the best trombone player on the planet.  Good stuff.

Enjoy!
