The aim of this innovative album is to introduce listeners to the rich variety of sounds in the trumpet family and through the use of modern instruments – one especially developed for the project – to imbue the music with unique colors and textures. All the pieces were either arranged or written specifically for this album and the programme includes the first ever orchestration of Théo Charlier’s operatic Solo de concours as well as Efraín Oscher’s evocative Rapsodia latina, which introduces a new instrument, the piccolo cornet in A.

“… This release will probably be of interest mainly to cornet and trumpet players, but it is sufficiently varied to attract others as well, especially singers who might be curious to hear how a cornet can replace the voice in the Vivaldi and Villa-Lobos works…”
