The subject of vibrato never fails to amuse me. For sure, it's a personal thing that some like and approve of, and others don't, but for me, it's an optional tool to be used cautiously when appropriate. Soprano singers seem to feel that the 'vibrato-off-mode' is not an option. String players always seem to use vibrato to some extent - more in an echoey acoustic (for why, I don't know). For a cornet section (speaking as a cornetist), it rarely works effectively due to the variance in players' widths and speeds of vibrato. As a soloist, and IMO this applies for both the trumpet AND the cornet, it can add a lovely warming effect to parts of a passage. But as with many things, its absence is just as important as its presence. Maybe more so. I'm sure I couldn't cope with 40`C sunny days every day of the year!
