Title: Disappointing Sound
Product review: I had not heard much of Mr. Sullivan's playing before this recording, and upon listening to it, I was rather disappointed. Technically he is excellent, his execution throughout the range and style of all these works is incredible. The varied genre that he covers is also commendable, there is some good recital repetoire that can be found on this disk. However, Mr. Sullivan's sound was what really disappointed me. It just seems so shallow, not very full at all. The end of the beautiful Nessun Dorma was especially disappointing. Listen to this CD for ideas of recital repetoire, but certainly not as an example of trumpet tone. Recordings of Maurice Andre and others are much better and more desirable examples.
