Chicago Symphony Orchestra Excerpt

Excerpt from a recording of Symphony Domestica by the Chicago Symphony under Fritz Reiner, circa 1957. Pictured here is part of this marvelous brass section – the CSO Brass Quintet (1957) L to R: Renold Schilke, Arnold Jacobs, Wayne Barrington, Frank Crisafulli and Bud Herseth.

This brass section is unmatched in it’s sound, virtuosity, strength, and sheer “vitality” of playing. The sound of this section – and the entire orchestra – has a freedom and enthusiasm that reflects a uniquely “American” style.

It is my opinion that the beauty of sound you hear on this recording cannot be matched by any brass section in the world today, in part due to the players… and in part due to the musical taste of the times in which it was recorded: a different era.
