5.0 out of 5 stars
Astonishing, May 11, 2002
This review is from: Trumpet in our Time (Audio CD)
This is hands down one of the best trumpet recital CD's out there. Mr. Mase's playing is outstanding. He has a beautiful sound and amazing articulation. What really makes this CD outstanding his Mr. Mase's overriding musicianship. I especially liked the opening piece "The Avatar" the first mvt. Features Mr. Mase on piccolo trumpet, and the second and third continue on with flugel horn and trumpet, respectively. The piece is very interesting with lots of contrast and melody. I especially like the first two mvts.
The Kent Kennan sonata recorded here is in my mine the definitive recording of this work (at the very least the definitive revised version).
This is a must buy for any trumpet student. For any person interested in modern brass music this is a definite recommendation.
