How a Trumpet Should Sound

It is tempting to try to describe it and analyze it, but for your own good I will refrain for the most part. I just want to point out two things. First, it is never forced. It is always a piano singing sound (that doesn't mean that it is always piano, just that it keeps that relaxed, resonant quality). Second, hear the clarity of the articulations. Enough of my rambling. Just listen to what a trumpet should sound like.

I realized that I did not tell you what the piece is. It is the aria Scene et Legende de la fille du paria from the opera Lakme by Delibes, though this is of course a transcription with the trumpet playing the vocal part.
