5.0 out of 5 stars Great trumpet concerto recording despite cold sound quality, December 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Haydn: Three Favorite Concertos (Audio CD)

Marsalis does a marvelous job in the trumpet concerto in a performance that has the sparkle and life of a live recording. However, the early digital sound is really cold. There is a remastered album of these recordings available from Sony Classical which you may want to try for better sound. As for the cello concerto, it is performed technically well but lacks enthusiasm. The violin concerto has received more deeply felt performances by others. Get the remastered version of this album for the sake of the trumpet concerto recording and look elsewhere for the cello and violin concertos.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one is for every sunny morning!, February 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Haydn: Three Favorite Concertos (Audio CD)

I have never thought a CD would be damaged for over use. Apparently, this is the one you will listen to for so many times you will damage it. I love it so much that I listen to it every sunny morning! When I feel low I listen to it. I appreciate the musicians' technique and style. But, I love the music the most. Hey, it is seldom to have all great music in one CD you can listen to again and again. Try it once! I believe you will love it. By the way, I mean to you, teenagers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wowed a 13 year old, December 5, 1998

This review is from: Haydn: Three Favorite Concertos (Audio CD)

When you would define some of the best known composers in the world in music class you learn the three basics: Motzart, Bach, and Beethoven. But this cd showed me in my oppion te greatest trumpet concerto ever written and the greastest trumpet preformer to ever walk the face of the earth. I love this c d and i am only a 13 year old. Haydn is one that they should talk about in music class a little more.
