TownerFan 4,991 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 At the LSO website, there's a tribute to Maurice Murphy, the legendary principal trumpet player of the orchestra, which has just retired. HERE you can listen to a special podcast where various musicians share their recollections about working with Maurice Murphy. John Williams remembers his personal memories about Murphy, especially about the recording of Star Wars (which was Murphy's first job after getting into the LSO).

TownerFan 4,991 Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 I always loved Murphy's gorgeous trumpet solo in Monsignor. He's really a brilliant and unique musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I also think he was drunk, he had a huge red nose. Also the name sounds Irish..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
