Average Rating: Rating: - Virtuosic... Incredible You don't have to be a fan of the instrument in order to appreciate and become overwhelmed by the beauty, the splendor and acrobatics of the trumpet. In the Baroque era, it was a instrument for the royal treatment and heralded arrival of kings and war. The performances here are excellent- Hardenberger, I Musici and Neville Marriner and his orchestra deliver virtuosic renditions of Haydn's Trumpet Concerto in E flat, Hummel's, Hertel's, Molter's and Albinoni's concerti, as well as incredible arrangements of Ave Maria by Bach and Albinoni's Adagio. Rating: - A non-trumpet player's view... Although I love classical music and have done so for a long time, I must confess that I am not a trumpet player. With that said, I must say that these two CDs are wonderful. My first recording of the Hummel and the Haydn concertos was the second Marsalis/Leppard/ECO recording on Sony Classical (titled Wynton Marsalis - The London Concert). Inexperienced with trumpet recordings at the time, I really treasured the CD. After all, a big name artist known for his virtuosity was performing the technically demanding concertos. What more could you ask for? After a while, though, I began to feel that Marsalis didn't really do it for me in these works. Sure, he played with a flair (and what a flair it was), but he lacked the focused, rich tone that I've come to associate with great trumpet players (Herseth comes to mind here). The current reviewed recording, on the other hand, is quite a piece of gem. Even though I have never heard of Hardenberger before (you trumpet players out there please excuse my ignorance), he delivers precisely what I am looking for. Hardenberger has the centered tone that most trumpeters would envy, yet he lacked none of the technical virtuosity needed for the music. His vibrato is light and very classical (as opposed to the wider jazz vibrato). On top of all that, he shows much understanding and affinity for the various works on these two CDs. All of this for the price of 1 CD. An excellent introduction to the core trumpet repertoire. Rating: - Modern Day Maurice Andre' I totally concur with the previous review. First, his Haydn cadenza is indeed the best to be found on record (I adapted it into my own performances!). I would add that after listening to Hardenberger for the past 15 years, I am most in awe of his unmatched intonation, especially with the piccolo trumpet. Indeed, every facet of his playing is, frankly, extraordinary. No other classical trumpeter today can equal Hardenberger - from a technical or artistic standpoint. Oh, and if you're a serious Hardenberger fan, check out his new DVD entitled "A Night at the Opera", a program (with trombonist Christian Lindberg) of operatic transcriptions.
