"He's undoubtedly the best trumpet player but he's not from our world" Karajan

"Karajan was working too fast, i did not like that (...) He was a businessman. 

He was the very first conductor to do videos and was recording three time faster than the others."

Listen to Maurice ANDRE (1st trumpet) and the MUNCHENER BACH CHOR conducted by Karl Richter 
in a sample of the  Christmas Oratorio

"I always loved Bach (...) My greatest musical pleasure has been when i was
playing Bach with Karl Richter (...) I hear two measures of Bach and i find myself in another world." MA



This documentary devoted to great german conductor Karl RICHTER (1936-1981) shows briefly Maurice from the 59th second.
Our trumpet player signed with the MUNCHENER BACH CHOR following the 63 Munich's prize (see biography).
RICHTER, who lived since 1951 in Munich, heard about this great french trumpetist. Why did RICHTER ask Maurice to join his orchester ? For three main reasons :
- The B minor Mass was RICHTER's lance head. As we know, the first trumpet part is a very demanding one,
and RICHTER wanted a real musical predominance of the brass section.
- Taking a young french trumpet player - winner of a famous trumpet competition - was also a good thing for concerts tours.
- Endly, the fact that Maurice was playing his Selmer piccolo trumpet - a completely unknown instrument at this time -
was a decisive musical argument for the great german conductor.
