Hindemith is a treasure of the 20th century who needs to be heard more.

My son John just texted me with the news of your Dad's passing. I'm so sorry, Jim. He was a mentor to me in Chicago and I would never have made a living at music without his advice and help. He was one of my only true friends in Chicago, a very tough town. I'm feeling your loss deeply. God Bless.

So many legendary figures from my youth. I studied with Vince Cichowicz. Bud and Arnie, Clevenger, and so many more from the CSO brass were, and are, my idols.

And rightly so !! That why he's Chicowizc and we're not. Besides Mel Broiles l had Jim Maxwell who studied with Herbert L and Schlossberg. Mel was with Vacchiano. And l'm not any of them lol😅

Back when the CSO-owned Bach C trumpets were still fairly new (delivered in 1955). Yes, old Paul could scratch out some pretty deep pieces! What a treasure he was, I agree.

Bringing in a Yamaha principal trumpeter after Herseth left…I’d never heard a blander Mahler 5.

I like this longer clip better. The solo by Lambert is gorgeous.

During this time, I was having weekly lessons with Mr Herseth and (sometimes) sittling next to Bob Rushford at Civic Orchestra rehearsals. And there is Bob on fourth trumpet! I did not realize, at the time, that Bob filled in with the CSO. As I remember it, Bob played with the Lyric Opera orchestra in the fall, with the Florida (Jacksonville?) SO in the winter, and with the Grant Park Orchestra in the summer. I remember my first conversation with Bob Rushford in spring of 1956, as I was signing up for lessons with Renold Schilke at Roosevelt U. Also, this video may show Bob Lambert's last appearance as first trombone. At the time, Jay Friedman was subbing for him.

I was hearing the CSO live often in this period (after a lesson with Vincent Cichowicz) and the brass section was electrifying. At pop concerts, I would run up the stairs to get my $1 seat in the center of the gallery. Incredible!

What a marvelous time that must have been in your young musical life! I was fortunate to study with Mr. Chicowicz briefly in the late 1970s. He was a fine gentleman and wonderful teacher. Really wish I could have studied with him regularly, but I was driving from Ohio while attending the University of Akron. I heard the CSO a couple of times live, Mahler 5 and Bartok (it wasn’t Concerto of Orchestra, but Mandarin - I think). Are you still playing? Still going to hear the CSO? Their new Principal Trumpet, Esteban Batallán, is truly a force of nature!

@@michaelfoxbrass Yes, Vince was an incredible teacher and gentleman. I was driving from Bloomington Indiana where I studied with Bill Adam so it wasn't as often as I would have liked. I heard many of the Strauss tone poems, and Wagner overtures plus Madarin, Le coq d'or. I played professionally for 11 years, starting in '64, including Associate in Dallas and Principal in Indianapolis. In 1975 I transitioned into pro audio and have gotten to hear really great brass playing in LA, NYC and London. One score I did in NY had Phil Smith, Phil Meyers and Joe Alessi on it. What fun that was!! How about you; where did the trumpet take you?

Brass and strings: a rare and imaginative pallette which Hindemith pulls off well.

The dark haired guy on the right at 1:47 is Frank Kaderabek. He later played for the Philly Orchestra for 20 years and passed in December of 2023. I'm his son-in-law.

He was a great man and a great player. Studied with him a bit and had the honor of working with him.

Hi Jim ... what a great video of your Dad. Best wishes to you and your family.

Good sounds from the trumpets there.

I performed Hindemith's Sonata in college. Cool to see him conducting here.

The arrow is not pointing to Bud Herseth. Bud is the one closest to the camera in this unusual seating arrangement.

My god its so clean… you dont hear orchestras today like this anywhere. Its so clean it’s terrifying.

I saw them in '78. The CSO played Mahler 1. We were in the cheapest seats in the house, as far away as you could get from the players as possible. But toward the end of the last movement when the horn players stood and the brass section opened up, it was like they were right in front of me. Best concert I ever attended in my life.

1:42 must be Arnold Jacobs on the tuba.

Vince Cichowicz told me he much enjoyed playing under Hindemith.

Jim. Your dad Bob Rushford is on the 4th trumpet part, isn't he? I have a dear friend and trumpet mentor who knows (knew) father very well. Bob Lambert's daughter went to high school with me. (She was a year ahead). She and I are Facebook friends

Bud’s bow-tie flickers up & down as he plays. That must be a clue to what his throat is doing to maximize air-flow…

Hadn’t noticed that - good catch! Or maybe the perfect resonance of his horn made everything nearby vibrate sympathetically!

A "nobilissima visione" indeed.

Hindemith was a viola player. He turned to composition and conducting to avoid the sick viola jokes.

Dunno! Maybe Cubby fans wish they had the winning record of the CSO!?!

Is it correct even after stepping down, Renold Schilke was still occasionally playing with the CSO until 1962?

You cut off Arnold Jacobs's?????

Am I correct? Is that Wayne Barrington, Third horn, at 1:39. 1963 was a few years before he joined the faculty at UT Austin so I'm not sure but it looks a lot like him. He was a;ready on campus when I started with him as a Comp major with a horn principal in '69. Lessons were a bitch. Productive but a real bear.

He was to die only eight months after this concert… Alas…

Is that Frank Kaderabek on third?

Actually, I make fun and I didn't know he passed. I knew him in Detroit and, yes, he was a very nice man. He taught 15 min lessons on the local PBS station in the 60's where he hawked his Video Model Trumpet. It was a hoot! Guys in the DSO would tease him about it but he was always good natured. He'd say he was just trying to make a little extra money. Looking back it all seemed so quaint. But he could play, he could blow the house down. Then off to Philly. Bye, Frank, your not missing much.

What piece is this?
