Wynton Marsalis may not have an easily recognizable or even particularly handsome tone, but this erstwhile jazz trumpeter is an amazing virtuoso with a fine sense of classical style. If you've never owned/heard any of his classical CDs, and you love (mostly baroque) trumpet music, this compilation--a sort of "greatest hits"--is for you. From such cruddy, sensationalistic works as Carnival of Venice to the glories of Haydn's E-Flat Concerto, this is grand entertainment. Marsalis is joined by Kathleen Battle in an exciting version of Handel's "Let the bright seraphim," and the treat there is doubled. A fine piece by Hovhaness for trumpet and organ, never before released, is another surprise. Come listen to the endless, seemingly casual roulades that come out of this guy's trumpet--they'll wake you right up. --Robert Levine

Classic Wynton.......2007-07-11

Classic! What else is there to say? As an introduction to the other, many classic recordings of this superbly talented trumpeter, it is as good a guide as possible.

amazing.......2006-10-31

Classic Wynton is the most glorious display of musicianship I have ever heard. No other trumpet player even comes close to Wynton. Don't listen to anything the editorial review says though, it must have been written by a complete ignoramus. Wynton Marsalis not having a clear or recognizable tone? Please...That's like saying Kobe Bryant isn't a good shooter. I can't believe that garbage is on a credible site such as Amazon.

Heard this with NEW appreication................2006-09-07

This is such a wonderful mix. I especially love the Haydn concerto finale in E flat. I was listening to this cd when my grandson (almost 3) heard the glorious music of the trumpet for the first time. He loved seeing the photos of Mr. Marsalis (which I embellished, albeit true, saying how difficult it is to play the trumpet - hence the need for a handerchief to wipe his brow in one of the photos). This awakened his awareness of trumpet music where he now loves to listen to one of his Baby Einstein cd's in the car. Specifically, he told his mother "louder" when the trumpet piece was played - repetetively.

Wynton's the best.......2006-03-17

I'm not a professional musician and don't have a trained ear but Wynton Marsalis has provided me with a very delightful hour of extremely good music.

Classic Wynton--brilliant, clear trumpet renditions.......2006-02-25

For anyone who loves trumpet music as I do, this album is a must. Wynton Marsalis has mastered twenty all-time favorite pieces with such brilliance, that no other trumpeteer comes near by comparison. Opening with J. Clarke's, The King's March, Wynton proceeds to favor listeners with such baroque favorites as Purcell's Entrada from "The Indian Queen," J. Clark's The Prince of Denmark's March and J. Stanley's Trumpet Voluntary. Fantastic selections from Bach, Mozart, and Haydn follow, with the album also including such delightful listening as The Last Rose of Summer, Carnival of Venisee, and Flight of the Bumblebee. You won't be disappointed with this purchase!

If the people at Nimbus are smart, they'll do a whole collection of discs on this theme. The literary-musical connection is, when done tastefully, as it is here, irresistible. As the intelligent and interesting notes maintain, "London at the time of Jane Austen was one of the most exciting centers in all of Europe for music," and this was an era of great fertility of composers in general. Lucky Jane! Imagine publishing your second novel the same year that Beethoven's Seventh Symphony receives its premiere. Or offering your fourth novel to the public near the time of the first performance of Schubert's Fifth Symphony. The program highlights popular music from Austen's time by Mendelssohn, Haydn, Fasch, J.C. Bach, Boyce, Schubert and others. I find the exclusion of chamber music a little odd here, though, since chamber music was the rage among the sort of gentlemen and women of the country about whom Austen wrote so well. --Gwendolyn Freed

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful music.......2006-04-28

This CD set is a gem. The music is cheerful and charming in the early Mozart and early Franz Josef Haydn style, and it's performed beautifully here. I listened to the first CD on a chilly, overcast day, not in the best of moods. It didn't take long before I actually began to smile because the music was so agreeable.

Excellent performance of Mike.......2003-03-02

I have also been a big fan of Michael Haydn and, of course, his big brother Josef. The performances on these CDs is top notch. Not many people know this: Michael Haydn lived in Salzburg for many years, and was a good friend of the Mozart family...and I am sure helped to influence young Wolfgang. If you like early Mozart, you will love the works on these CDs...and they certainly are a worthy addition to any classical music collection.

Joseph Haydn's kid brother hits it bigtime.......2000-09-10

Joseph Haydn has been my favorite composer for 47 years, since I discovered his music in a college music-appreciation course. I used to eagerly await the appearance of his symphonies for first-time on long-playing records. Since Antal Dorati recorded all 106 of them in the 1970s that feeling of anticipation has been denied me, even as I've grown to appreciate this man's music more and more. I keep making discoveries of treasures new to me -- such as the slow movement of Symphony 68 (Harnoncourt recording).

Suddenly a year-and-a-half ago I discovered Warchal's recordings of his younger brother Michael's symphonies, and the excitement of anticipating the appearance of previously unrecorded symphonies has returned. His performances ring of authenticity (and as the owner of one of Israel's four fortepianos, I can say that authenticity matters to me). Moreover, the music itself is reminiscent of Joseph's, even if he rarely attains the level of inspiration and inventiveness of his older bro.

Here are some of my favorite movements from Michael Haydn's symphonies: the minuet of Symphony #2, wonderfully regal, with an exciting trio that starts with French horns and finishes with trumpets from heaven. Symphony #6, first movement, with a powerful forward drive from beginning to end. Symphony #8, in which the symphony turns into a bassoon concerto, and his writing for bassoon is amazing.

I'm awaiting Warchal's recording of Symphony #20 in D Minor, the only minor-key symphony Michael Haydn wrote. It has all the tension you want and expect from classical-era minor-key symphonies, and I want to hear what Warchal does with it.
