Didn't anybody who follows this BBS go to hear the NY Phil play Nevsky a couple of weeks ago? I wasn't able to make an actual performance, but I went to the open dress rehearsal.
Kyle did an outstanding job, and I believe he was playing something other than the 52J, it looked larger, and was not silver. As impressive as his solo playing was, I was most impressed by the clarity, breadth, and intonation of the entire brass in those crunching dissonances at the opening of Entry into Pskov. It takes great ears and the courage of your convictions to make passages like that come off.
