@barliman2001 yes, another incredible performance. If asked, I would not be able to say which is more. To think, these are performed with a traditional 3-valve Bb trumpet.
Has McNab ever revealed which brand of trumpet he prefers?
Bach Stradivarius Model 37 in silver [180S37], ca 1972.

@grune Actually, the Tchaikovsky is played on a C trumpet.
-
@grune I suspect that the Tchaikowsky was played on a 4 valved higher pitched trumpet like in Eb or E. That smoothness and evenness of tone would be a HUGE feat on a C trumpet. Towards the end of the last movement he also plays piccolo trumpet, but I suspect that those sections are edited in as there was no physical time to switch. All in all a truly remarkable reading with no compromise compared to the violin.
Malcolm did play a lot of his commercial stuff on an Eb trumpet.

I believe that he was sponsored by B&S a while ago.
