This review is from: 20th Century Music for Trumpet and Organ (Audio CD)

This cd has some obscure but excellent pieces on it, particularly the "Okna (Windows)" by Petr Eben. The better known "Prayer of St. Gregory" and Persichetti's "The Hollow Men" are good recordings, and the other pieces are also played well. The last track, Lowry's "Suburban Measures" is quite abstract, but interesting. My only complaint would be that the recorded sound seems distant and makes the trumpet less clear than it should be.
