you can touch." Recordings Despite having generally been met with enthusiasm by critics, this composition has not been performed or recorded very frequently. The authoritative version was recorded by the musicians who premiered it on February 4, 1996, at Henry Wood Hall, London, being released later that year by Decca. The abridged version used for Blood on the Floor has also been recorded once by trumpet players William Forman and Bruce Nockles, with the Ensemble Modern conducted by Peter Rundel. That recording was released in 1997 by Decca and Argo. References Compositions by Mark-Anthony Turnage Trumpet concertos 1994 compositions Music with dedications
