TrumpetMaster - View Single Post - Three great NEW additions to the trumpet repertoire

maha,

I've listened carefully to a live performance of Jet Stream by Tristram Williams (Associate Principal trumpet in Melbourne and participant at Chosen Vale) and it's an absolutely wonderful piece. By the way, I've played with Peter Eotvos (a fabulous conductor), and this is the first solo trumpet work from him that has crossed my radar. Terrific that Mr. Hardenberger has "launched" it into the mainstream.

I heard Hakan play Aeriel with the Los Angeles Philharmonic a few seasons back and it stands alone as the best trumpet concerto that I've ever heard (huge Heldenleben sized orchestra and fabulous that somebody put up the money to record such an expensive project!). Hakan played out of his mind that night. . . the best performance I've ever heard on the trumpet, bar none (and I've heard a few).

Turnage is no slouch as a composer either. Was this piece written for Hakan or for John Wallace?

Nice to hear that our recorded repertoire is moving ahead. Perhaps in 50 years our fiddle playing colleagues will envy us for our repertoire instead of the opposite?

Thank you for the tip, my friend. TMers -- buy this CD and listen with your ears (and soul) wide open.

Best,
EC
