Watch and listen to the Chicago Symphony Brass in a world premiere recording of An Alpine Symphony arranged and conducted by music director Jay Friedman. The recording was made at a live concert benefit for the Symphony of Oak Park and River Forest. It also celebrated the career and retirement of Adolph “Bud” Herseth, who was principal trumpet of the Chicago Symphony for 53 years. Eine Alpensinfonie is a long symphonic poem in one movement describing a day of Alpine climbing. Mr. Friedman’s masterful scoring captures all of the virtuosity and beauty of the original orchestral version. This masterwork was scored for Michael Mulcahy and the brass of the Grand Teton Festival Orchestra and premiered in 1996 at the Grand Teton Music Festival, Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
