Minus One

Bach's intricate 'triple' concerto for keyboard, violin and flute is a challenge, containing much brilliant passagework. The less formidable slow movement was taken from the organ sonata No. 3. It is a companion to the Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, the first movement of which is included on this album. An extremely rewarding and enjoyable piece for study. Vivaldi's D-minor concerto was originally written for oboe but is equally at home on the flute. Both are Baroque music at its best.

Trumpet virtuoso Alfred Lang takes you on a tour of some of the greatest classical solos, featuring concert-pieces and sonata movements arranged for trumpet or cornet with piano. Listen to his sensitive renditions of each piece, then you step in and take over the solo part with world-renowned Harriet Wingreen as your piano accompanist. Includes compositions by such greats as Bach, Handel, Mozart, Schubert, and many, many more!

Haydn's E-flat-major Trumpet Concerto is in fine company with these two selections by Telemann and Fasch, complete with full orchestral accompaniment. One of MMO's most popular trumpet album, now digitally remastered for brilliant sound!
