5.0 out of 5 stars Grammy winner. Outstanding CD, November 23, 1998

This CD was my introduction to Wynton Marsalis. I'm surprised that Amazon doesn't publicize it as the first year he won both the classical and jazz (Hot House Flowers) Grammys. And there is a reason why. The choice of material, the execution; everything is perfect, classical trumpet yet with a style that is his alone. Wonderful artist. Wonderful work.

I was given a recording of Maurice Andre's interpretation of these 3 concertos many years ago as a gift. I thought that they were the definitive recordings. NOT ANY MORE. I brought this CD without ever really knowing who Wynton Marsalis was, and I have NEVER regreted it !!! This is THE definitive recording of Haydn, Hummel, & L. Mozart. I'll always remember my late father's reaction when he first heard this CD: "Lord Have Mercy, this young man is GREAT!!"

While I mean no disrespect to Mr. Meuller, his 1 star rating for the sublime performance by Marsalis and company here is quite frankly an insult to such a fine effort. Wynton Marsalis is without a doubt the best trumpet player on the face of this planet, and that is not going to change any time soon. Quite frankly, this debut classical recording by Marsalis is also his best (and Grammy Award winning to boot). I don't begrudge Mr. Meuller for thinking another player or performance better, but to say that *many* trumpet *students* play these works better is an outrageous statement, and I hope other prospective buyers do not take such unfair and inacurate remarks to heart.For my part, this CD has been in my collection for years (actually, I have had to replace it several times due to wearing the CDs out), and it will remain so. You have a classic CD at an unbelievable price here. Don't pass this one up for your collection.
