Guys, I've just stumbled across the goldmine that is Anna Netrebko's Instagram. These are by far the longest clips yet. 
Enjoy!

It's a 720p encode from a clip that was also 720p. Not sure if there is any noticeable extra compression loss, but here's a screenshot from the original file:

I wonder what Williams will say Anne-Sophie Mutter is…

If anyone gets geoblocked, I clipped the more relevant parts in a previous post. 😉
 

A 40 minuted "documentary" I assembled using the videos published (or shared) on the IG account by La Filarmonica

Don't forget that the VPO is a proud (vain) orchestra and they'd probably like to show off the fanfare they commissioned from a famous composer at some point.
Also, there are many VPO chamber ensembles, including brass ones, who record CDs as well. So that's another possibility for a release. 
They featured the Strauss fanfare in the 2015 edition of the Summer Night concert, so this is indeed a possibility.

Some representative excerpts:
 
 
I was particularly heartened to see this because just a few years ago (as she acknowledges) she had written a pretty harsh review of Air and Simple Gifts that I'd read! (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/20/AR2009012003560.html) (e.g., "It was functional, representational music, and it actually did serve a function: It allowed everyone some downtime before the main event of the oath and the new president's speech.") 
 
She's changed a lot!  Hopefully she is able to now move even beyond SW and to JW's other work. 
 
Also, "Good means good, effective means effective" sounds like something TGP would say (and I mean that in a good way). 

Unfortunately only a tiny snippet again on Austrian news... I guess we'll have to wait until the VPO decides to release it in some fashion.

I wouldn't worry too much about this one - I'm sure the VPO will record it at some point, the question is when. 
 
Thank the Lord for attention-seeking Opera Divas, we wouldn't have much of the fanfare without it! 
I once sat in front of her at a VPO concert and was slightly irritated by her flamboyantly recording an IG video right before it started. When I checked her IG account later, it turned out she had even recorded during the concert itself. 😅

No, it was a mini-exhibition for the 80th anniversary of the Philharmonikerball, showing some of the history of it. At least that's what the TV news said.

JW: And so you know, when Anne-Sophie asked me to write something for her, I really thought that she would be a woman that I could say no to. 
 
Narrator: She wasn't

What we can see in the video on the far left of the formation is that JW included a Wagner Tuba and an Althorn (tenor horn) in the score, a nice touch. 
 
Otherwise it probably follows the already lavish instrumentation of the Richard Strauss fanfare. 
2 timpani
2 (normal) tubas
6 trumpets
6 trombones 
6 horns + Wagner tuba + Althorn (8 horns in the RS piece) 
 
Edit: It's a bit difficult to tell exactly which instruments they are, since there's a lot in that horn family that look similar. One's definitely smaller than the other, though.
