Brahms, Schumann & Schubert: Original Transcriptions for Trumpet

Wilson, John;
Balio, Andrew

DE 3607

Trumpet was meant to have a bright future after Handel and Bach, but history decided otherwise. Relegated to a military signal role with timpani, it had to wait until the later Romantic period to flourish once again. A brainchild of Andrew Balio, this album showcases his own transcriptions of works from the golden age of chamber music, inviting trumpeters out of the cold and into the cozy world of Brahms, Schumann, and Schubert. Pianist John Wilson partners Andrew for these new arrangements of Brahms’s clarinet sonatas, Schumann’s Adagio and Allegro, and Märchenbilder, and Schubert’s lied ‘Auf dem Strom’, in which tenor Nicholas Phan gives voice to the text. Thanks to Andrew, trumpeters and music lovers can now enjoy an expanded repertoire which invites us into an entirely new soundworld.
