That’s because the piano is the original solo instrument, and they turned the orchestra into another one, trumpet(s). (Obviously it will have been a bit more complicated to get it working, but that is the general idea of what they did.)
Its funny that the trumpet is like the primary focus of the performance even though the pianist is going ham on the solo piano part, which is insanely difficult
Piano players that can get through the piece without making a mistake is impressive enough. Using the different horns to play the orchestration melody is pretty cool.
@@mef u dumb? Mac tek is talking about a major mistake that would ruin the piece. A simple slip of the finger when quickly doing chords isnt considered a mistake😂. In fact, according to your logic, ur basically stating that every pianist has never played perfectly.
There was a point at like 7:00 where I was just enjoying his playing and I realized he hadn’t turned the page in like a solid minute. I rewatched again to find that he doesn’t even give a shit about the pages, he KILLED it and that was straight from his heart.
Drew Shannon they are both very difficult to play in different ways and hey are both masters of their craft. So you should be equally impressed with both for putting the time and dedication to their instruments. Like I'm a trumpet player so naturally I'm more impressed with the piano because I can't do that lol I can play the trumpet parts with practice of course, and not as good, but I can do it. But I can't play the piano like that at all. I don't know I guess I'm just saying both are equally impressive.
@@mazon33 He's an idiot troll. By the number of disparaging comments he's made in these comments, evidently he feels that it is his sworn duty to take this wonderful musician down a peg or two, and to make damn sure that we all know about it and his acute perceptions and refined judgments. About what miserable jealousies he harbors, one can only speculate. A pathetic little troll. How pointless, how sad: such a vacancy between his apparently defective ears; and where his heart should be: nothing.
Utterly superb trumpet slur at the beginning. As in... THE BEST I've ever heard. Such perfection from a brass is hard to come by on this song! IMO the song needed more trumpet throughout the major RIB themes. It is not an easy song by any means, but having the trumpet more present throughout the melody would've made this insanely incredible. God-like perhaps. Regardless, the soloists both took their time feeling this piece, and it's one of the most wonderfully soulful renditions of Rhapsody In Blue on CZcams. Well done and congratulations!
I love how the piano guy was just smiling the whole time like "gosh u r great!" And he is amazing, but just seems to be genuinely enjoying himself 1:522:00
oh yes playing with another player as good as you are or even better is absolutely amazing especially when you go to a smaller school and there’s only two people that have made all state in the last fifty years lol
I can't believe how many times I hear a trumpet player making a you tube video and other trumpet players reply on how much better they are!! Get off it and enjoy other players for once. Great Job Brandon. Kudos
how many trumpet players does it take to change a light bulb? Ten, one to do and and nine more to say how much better thy could have done it~! Just our nature, what can I say?? I for onde am impressed by this performance.
The 'stage presence' of these two men was excellent. They obviously enjoyed what they were doing and knew it was a gift they had to present it to us. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing your joy of life.
I had the privilege of watching both at the Phoenix Symphony in April, and they played this on stage. The talent and showmanship from both of these musicians is absolutely astounding - do yourself a favor and see them live if at all possible.
@Brandon, You made the trumpet, flugelhorn, piccolo trumpet playing look so effortless that only a trumpet player can fully appreciate the difficulty. Incredible performance! I am truly amazed.
What is amazing after hearing an incredible performance from Brandon in this song, is that he actually performed as a soloist in my state's honor band. It was extremely honoring to have such a great musician be able to solo one of our pieces in our concert. It is now that I actually realize how talented he truly is at his trumpet.
Rich Ridenour has been a famous musician for decades, and with videos like this, he embarks on a new phase of his career - "Ah, yes, that's Brandon Ridenour's Dad."
Everything about this is amazing. The precision in every note, the seamless transition between instruments, and the pianist lifting the trumpet even higher just makes me so happy.
Love the trumpet slur at the start. You can see the pianist looking nervously at him and then when it comes out so beautifully smooth he look over to the audience like "yeah pretty impressive right?". The pride they have in each other's skills is tangible and had me almost in tears.
Deux FORMIDABLES musiciens ouvrez bien vos yeux et vos oreilles : ce n'est pas tous les jours que vous aurez l'occasion de voir et d'entendre un truc aussi parfait que ça CHAPEAU , messieurs !!!!!
Amazing performance and arrangement. Towards the end the sound is so full you have the impression a whole orchestra is playing. I can only imagine the level of expertise and rehearsals this performance demands. Bravo!
Amazing musicians playing a piece of music that came from a place of genius. Great idea changing horns thereby changing timbre. Love it.! Bravo to both of you.
Im impressed with both players. Brandon's the reason for me wanting to explore my horizons on trumpet. His dad just makes me want to practice piano ten times more than I am now. Thanks Brandon Ridenour and Rich Ridenour!
I love your Dad's proud reaction in the beginning when you arrived at the note after the gliss. Makes me proud being a father. I play this gliss all the time on my clarinet. But you made it sound so much better!
Pure, delicious enjoyment. We’ve all loved various orchestral renditions through the years, and will undoubtedly continue to for many more to come, but a stripped down duo rendition? Ingenious! Fresh! Delightful! A joy!!
What an epic performance by both musicians. I find it amazing that they both can play so well together despite not having a conductor! Being a trumpet player myself I certainly can appreciate the highly technical and difficulty level of this piece plus having to be able to switch and master the piccolo trumpet, the Bb trumpet and the flugelhorn. I've heard many renditions of this song and this will now become one of my favorites! My other favorite was the rendition done by Gordon Goodwins's Big Phat Band. Thank you for the awesome ear candy!
Matthew Chae If it weren't originally written for clarinet, trumpet probably would've been the second choice. Soprano trumpet especially, the color is surprisingly similar.
As a clarinet player who can only manage that gliss on a good day with the wind in the right direction on a tuesdsy with a full moon once in a decade..... that was amazing! 🤯
Jaw dropping. Beautiful playing, terrific arrangement. (I'm a trumpet player, BTW). I never get tired of Rhapsody in Blue, and hearing it playing on trumpet is amazing.
wow!!!!!! this is super super abnormally incredible i can watch this video everyday without getting enough of it wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! geez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing performance, a work of genius, to translate R. in Blue into just a trumpet and a piano, er, I mean, three trumpets and a piano. And that opening glissando!-Jesus, who would have believed that could be done on a trumpet? All spectacular. Wow. Gee whiz. I'm floored.
The collab pianist looks like he’s having more fun than the trumpeter! Just a joy to watch this performance. Great job to both. Was practically a perfect performance by the trumpeter!
that gliss was so clean you could eat off it
Shea Johnson You win the internet
Do people actually call it a gliss
Colonel Cringe Yes, it's either called that or the actual name of glissando.
*off of it*
The pianist behind him raising his eyebrows, pretty well saying "Not bad kid!"
I love the look of pride on your Dads face after the picc gliss in the beginning.
I would be a proud dad as well!!!
"That's my boy."
John PEARSON How just how
John PEARSON I’m with Ethan on this like what
John PEARSON you’re crazy man this was great!
This isn't a solo with accompaniment, it's a duet
A duet with himself
That’s because the piano is the original solo instrument, and they turned the orchestra into another one, trumpet(s).
(Obviously it will have been a bit more complicated to get it working, but that is the general idea of what they did.)
True collaboration
It’s better than that, it’s a father and son duet
Its funny that the trumpet is like the primary focus of the performance even though the pianist is going ham on the solo piano part, which is insanely difficult
JameyPlaysTheViolin The piccolo trumpet is supposed to be insanly hard to play.
theo smith if you’ve played trumpet for a while it’s not as difficult as when you play it with no experience
Steven’s Railway Wow
Steven’s Railway Obviously, but that’s kind of the point. The piccolo trumpet is insanely hard to play, so clearly this guy has a ton of experience.
theo smith I have played trumpet since I was 6 and I have a picc, so I can confirm that it’s hard to make it not sound like absolute shit
I was sitting here thinking...man who is this beast of a pianist accompanying him?? It's totally his dad...crazy talented family!
Sunday dinner at their house must be nuts!

@John PEARSON What a silly little troll you are, lol !
Love how Rich never turns past the first page
I don't even think that's the right music lol
william's right, it's not even the first page of the rhapsody. Rich's just a beast.
There was a point at like 7:00 where I was just enjoying his playing and I realized he hadn’t turned the page in like a solid minute. I rewatched again to find that he doesn’t even give a shit about the pages, he KILLED it and that was straight from his heart.
I mean it's not that uncommon to memorize something you've put a lot of time into learning.
hans hansen that doesn’t make it any less impressive
the sheet music on the piano is purely decorative. nice to see both musicians complete knowledge of the song, really adds to the jazz.
Rindsy RoHan lol he literally never turns the page
the music is for another song! he doesn't even have the music for this song out
interesting looking clarinet at the start...
It is piccolo trumpet sir )
Andrey Okhrimets it was a joke 🙄
Joel McAllister Kinda looks like a metal bassoon
That's a golden guitar not a clarinet
Joel McAllister dude that's a giraffe
I don't know who I should be more impressed of the trumpeter or pianist!😂😂
Drew Shannon the pianist
yeah thats bloody hard on the piano.

actually I consider the piano to be quite easy, so be impressed by the trumpet
Dana Parker piano is easy?!
I think they have practiced this more than once
Lark Jones bold assumption
Or more than a zillion
UnoriginalUsername373 It was a joke
Aidan i agree with the other guy, it wasn't a very funny joke
Frankus Sealius i thought it was pretty dang funny
00:13 = proud papa
Never thought that Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue could be performed as a duet. Great performance!
Typically it is played along with a clarinet, though they decided to go with trumpets for this one. Definitely recommend hearing the original.
Hell of a pianist!
Chigiskob A family full of music! Love it! Trumpet AND Piano!

Rhapsody In Blue is one of my favorite songs and these guys really performed it well.
Dear McHenry, it's a piece.
harley it's also a song :)
i do not consider a musical composition with no official singing a song - it's a *piece* for solo piano.
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
andrew, of course i know that. it's an orchestral piece with piano as solo instrument.
@Brandon, You made the trumpet, flugelhorn, piccolo trumpet playing look so effortless that only a trumpet player can fully appreciate the difficulty. Incredible performance! I am truly amazed.
Damn, didn't knew Ryan Gosling can jam.
Rock me, Joey Santiago. you didnt see la la land??
Harrison Ford is pretty good at the piano and all.

Actually, Ryan Gosling looks a little like him!
hank that is such a more polite way to make that type of comparison. Gonna bite that and start using it instead.
Ryan glissling
This is the level I aspire to on both trumpet and piano. Awesome piece!
Allison Bearden same here. I worked through half score on the piano so far. What about you?
Oh I haven't even began working through it! haha. It's so intimidating!!
Yes, I agree. My left hand is hurting... 😅
I don't know if this is now my favorite performance of Rhapsody... but Jesus, it is up there for sure. Absolute awe.
Absolutely stunning control and beautifully clear tone.
Even thought the trumpet is the star of the show I love the pianos part so much. They are both great.
Wow
That gliss was bigger than my piccolo trumpet playing future
Life Has no meaning I’ve never heard that be called a gliss unless on trombone
@@texasred7408 technically a glissando. He achieved the sound by pushing all three valves half way down and bending his notes from bottom to top.
@@charlesdarwin6224 I know what a glissando is but it was called a rise when I learned it

JESUS so glad i stumbled onto this. wonderful
What a unique and talented take on this piece. I think of it as a trio, piano, trumpet and composer.
That gliss was astounding! But it was just the intro to how good a player he really is. What an amazingly talented family.
I applauded at home! Well done. Piccolo trumpet is a torture instrument to play. Rich is skilful enough to play it solo by himself, what an ensemble!
I didn't realize how nice the piccolo trumpet could sound! 👏
His sound on brass feels so effortless; smooth as butter.. I admire that.
Nerver Heard tris on a trumpet both musicians excellent.
Superb playing, just beautiful, both the pianist and trumpeter are splendid.
ONE OF THE BEST PIECES OFMUSIC EVER. LOVE IT!
I like how the piano is shaking a lot of the time! That's how I like playing. :)
The opening bars is perfectly executed. Gives me chills every time I hear it.
Pianista e trompetista, parabéns! Ambos memoráveis!!!
Dad never turned a page; one little shrug to air out after their bows was his only concession to how hard that was.

Question: How many clarinets does it take to have an intense bon fire? Answer: Just as many as you can rustle up!
I’m still coming back to this masterpiece, after finished playing trumpet 10 years ago. Really love that interpretation!
A BRILLIANT performance!!!!!
Excellent collaboration. These two know how to play music together and that pianist is a star. Man!! Not bad looking either... ❤
Dad just loving it! Fun to look at!

Another Great Masterpiece from the late George Gershwin. He died very early and was a great composer,pianist,period.
ABSOULUTLEY BEAUTIFUL. HATS OFF TO YOU! BRILLIANT. GREAT JOB!
