Stravinsky/ Freeman-Attwood/ Pienaar - Neoclassical Trumpet

The Neoclassical Trumpet' poses the question: what if the chromatic trumpet and the modern Steinway Grand had existed a good century or so earlier and composers had recognized their duo potential? For this Linn release Mr. Freeman-Attwood reimagines works by Stravinsky, Leigh, Faure and Respighi in new arrangements by pianist Daniel-Ben Pienaar. Each of the composers represented here wrote significant parts for the trumpet in various chamber and orchestral contexts. Jonathan broadcasts regularly for BBC Radio 3 and is in demand as an essayist for many major record labels.
