Info (Hyperion):

This disc combines the talents of internationally-renowned Crispian Steele-Perkins, and Alison Balsom, a recent graduate currently taking the musical world by storm. Both are in radiant form in a collection of works from that era of Italian baroque music celebrated and loved for its vibrancy and spirit. The lesser-known composers presented here (Melani, Cazzati, Jacchini, Lazzari, Grossi etc) sit happily beside the ‘greats’ of the era (Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Torelli). Before mid-seventeenth century the trumpet was essentially a ceremonial instrument until German composers such as Praetorius and Schütz began to incorporate it into concert works. This idea was soon adopted elsewhere, and Italian sonatas and concertos form much of the baroque repertoire for trumpet. The accomplished Parley of Instruments play ‘one to a part’, reflecting the combination of forces most likely to have been used at the time these works were first performed.

Early Music Review

It comes as no surprise to have a well researched, well presented and beautifully played issue from this team of artists and recording company. The trumpeters, representing the pioneering and the newest generations of players, are well matched and sparkling in their duets and share the solo works equally. It scarcely needs it, but this gets the warmest of recommendations.

BBC Music Magazine

Peter Holman makes a convincing case for accompanying trumpet pieces one-to-a-part and the solo strings are sparklingly transparent, if at the cost of a momentary purple patch in unison violin tuning. But surprisingly they also balance the two trumpets, without audible manipulation of the recording. John Hawkins wrote that the famous Baroque trumpeter John Shore sounded ‘sweet as an hautboy’, an ideal which Steele-Perkins wholeheartedly embraces. He has found a remarkable duet partner in Alison Balsom, a touch less discreet than he perhaps, but every bit as fluent. They play together in two sonatas completely new to me and the familiar Vivaldi double concerto, and each has a couple of sonatas on their own. There’s remarkable variety within so circumscribed a repertoire – brilliant opening and closing trumpet allegros (including a charmingly silly tune by Jacchini), often strings alone in between, with a specially memorable cello/violin dialogue by Lazzari. There are, though, several instances of beautifully lyrical trumpet-playing, and the recording capitalises on a wide stereo spectrum to emphasise their dialogues. A disc of two trumpets is less daunting than might be thought and the instruments are leavened with four string Sonate à quattro, beautifully played.

Goldberg Magazine

Exemplary performances … The disc as a whole is not only extremely enjoyable in its own left, but is of value for illuminating a major development in the history of instrumental music.
