| International Celebrity Trumpet Ensemble |
|
|
Eleven of the world’s greatest trumpeters assembled to play together,featuring works by
Jean Françaix, Naji Hakim, Mark Anthony Turnage, Cecilia McDowall abd Robert Davies.
Paul Archibald, eminent trumpeter and Brass Classics’ Artistic Director writes:
“The formation of the International Celebrity Trumpet Ensemble came about through my contact with the instrument maker Karl Schagerl. Hans Gansch, Gabor Tarkovi and Florian Klingler all play Schagerl instruments and Karl sponsored their visit to London in February 2006. During their stay they gave a masterclasses at Trinity College of Music and the Royal College of Music, and a concert at the RCM. The idea of recording repertoire written for trumpet ensemble seemed to be an obvious step so I took this opportunity to form an ensemble consisting of some the finest players in the world.”
Over the course of three days, in a chilly church in South London, Gansch, Tarkovi and Klingler were joined by an array of famous trumpeters from both sides of the Atlantic. The group, directed by Paul Archibald, worked tirelessly and joyously together, to record this incomparable CD of trumpet ensemble repertoire. Many of the pieces also feature percussion, organ and piano. |
