This man hates trumpets
mainWe’ve been sent this eloquent, four-minute clip of New York street anger. Was this guy assaulted by a trumpet as a kid? ‘I’m trained classically,’ he claims. Anyone recognise him? He should have a radio show.

This isn’t New York street anger. This is a complete lunatic who should be in a mental hospital.
This is a great practice for auditions!
Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast.
“An artist respects the silence,” screamed the anti-trumpet psycho at the top of his lungs. Hilarious.
hint: his name is Richard Taruskin
He’s obviously a learned scholar whose eloquent oration comes from a place of inner peace, tranquility and accomplishment. Whence, such wisdom and compassion?
He was featured on the comedy podcast Improv 4 Humans after the video came out.

Well, Norman, I’ve just wasted another four minutes of my life watching this nonsense, expecting the clip to end with a perfect rendition of Haydn’s trumpet concerto, but no, just staged rubbish.
(Am I alone in thinking that since the recent changes to this site, standards, and relevance to serious music have disappeared faster than the mists around Valhalla?)
Your perceptions of the editorial standards and cultural relevance are possibly inaccurate. I don’t see how the site’s relocation could have possibly brought these values any lower.
Where did our fearless editor Norman go?
This man is my hero.
Well clearly he doesn’t hate trumpets, he just has much higher standards for both classical and contemporaneous (?) musical artists than this hack busker! A fraud, I tell you. A disgrace!
That’s him!
But what does he and his company actually do? The website is pretty vague.
This article explains a few things about Mr. Levison and his organization.
