Title: Great trumpet playing
Review: It goes without saying that Maurice Andre is one of the greatest trumpet players of the 20th century.This particular CD is a compilation of pieces originally written for the Oboe and transcribed for Trumpet. While some purists may scoff at this the linear notes do a good job of providing musical justification for this act.Trying to make a brass instrument sound like a woodwind is no small task but Andre blends perfectly. I originally bought this CD for the Haydn trumpet concerto but the one on this CD is not the famous E-flat concerto, so if you are looking for the standard trumpet repetition, look elsewhere. Despite my initial intent, I was pleasantly surprised by the content of this CD.
