For those who are new to an instrument, the first question is often: where to start? The ‘Best Loved’ series offers an easy answer to that question and a perfect introduction to the wonderful, varied world of classical music. Spotlighting individual instruments in some of the best-loved pieces ever written, and with a mix of solo, chamber and orchestral works, the series provides a convenient introduction to classical music’s infinite variety of instrumental sounds and styles.

The trumpet is one of the oldest known instruments, descending from animal horns or shells used for signalling over great distances. This clarity of tone has been prized by composers through the ages, with brilliance and virtuosity a feature of works by Albinoni and Bach, and Handel’s regal Water Music composed to sound superb in the open air. The invention of the keyed trumpet enhanced the instrument’s lyrical, expressive qualities which were fully exploited by Hummel and Haydn, while its macho character was used to full effect in Bizet’s Toreador Song.
