Title: Total misconception
Review: Recording quality: goodRepertoire: fairPerformance: badThis was a sad atempt to introduce Mr. Sandoval to the roll of classical trumpet players. He is indeed a master technician of the instrument but has no understanding of interpretation in Baroque and Classical periods.All the concertos (except his own) are totaly out of the right dinamics, tonguing, articulations, slurs, and vibrato. This last item (the vibrato) plays an important role in ones interpretation. Mr. Sandoval uses it as he was playing popular Cuban music. His articulation and tonguing are extremely heavy, giving the pieces a too much marcial style rather than a delicate solo part. There are too many bad things in this recording, but I won't list all of them.This album should go togheter with his Trumpet Method, which is another unsucessful atempt.I would not recommend this recording to anyone seriously interested in trumpet playing. This CD is surely for fans only.
