Adrenaline-Fueled Art: How Sergei Nakariakov Turns the "Wow" Factor Into Meaningful Experiences for His Audiences

1

In today’s episode, Sergei discusses his approach to performing technically challenging pieces.

Emphasized is the challenge of evoking an emotional response from the audience rather than impressing them with mere technical skill alone.

Sergei shares personal experiences of abandoning certain arrangements that compromise musical integrity, specifically citing his father's adaptation of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto.

Additionally, the discussion highlights notable young trumpet talents like Floris Onstwedder and Lucien Renaud Darvary, with reflections on the importance of proper musical guidance and the merit of playing original repertoire.

Mastery is within reach.
Will you go for it?
My name is James Newcomb, and allow me to share with you my vision for this website and podcast.
Brass Mastery is here to provide you the knowledge, tools and inspiration to achieve greatness on your brass instrument.
What is mastery anyway?
We all have various talent levels, backgrounds, aspirations as brass instrumentalists.
So it's hard to say what "mastery" really looks like.
It varies from person to person, doesn't it?
One way to think of it is "being in control".
You've mastered your nerves, the audience is eating from the palm of your hand. You feel completely comfortable in your own skin....
Playing the music that "plays you" as the saying goes.
That's just one way of thinking of it.
This website and podcast will dive deep into what "mastery" truly is when it comes to brass instruments.
Ambiguous?
Perhaps.
Attainable?
Absolutely.
This is no high-minded fool's errand. It's a lifelong journey to mastery.
Will you join me?
