1 out of 5 stars One of the worst yet !!!.......2004-02-08

I'll keep it short and simple: this is as poor a recording of this venerable work as I have ever heard! John Wallace might be an adequate trumpet player technically, but his musicianship suffers incredible lapses. His (own) cadenzas are all ego and quite ugly, his intonation frequently slips, his articulation is sloppy, and the liberties he takes with the score are trite. He's in the same category as Rolf Smedvig. Skip this recording and instead get Hakan Hardenberger's beautifully played and artfully realized version instead.

1 out of 5 stars Wallace,you blew it !!.......2002-02-15

Yes you blew it.I have recordings from almost everybody on Hummelconcerto (André//Handerberger//Marsalis live ,etc))but he is TOO FLASHY.
He pretens to "own" the recording studio.
The Weber's work is OUT OF PLACE, does not belongs on that record, when Torelli,Telemann or another baroque master will sufice.
So I got as a loan from a disapointed friend that got that record.I agree with him.

4 out of 5 stars Good at baroque.......2001-02-15

There is no doubt that wallace is a fantastic trumpet player! He is especially good at early music. If you have heard other exponents play the Haydn trumpet concerto and thought it was great, then you ain't heard nothing until you've heard Wallace's rendering. For me Haydn can get a bit boring from tiome to time, but Wallace really brightens it up with some amazing virtuoso playing. I really recommend this CD. But, having said that, give Wallace anything other than a baroque trumpet and you will notice that his sound is just awful! I have never heard a so-called expert rasp so much. He murders the sound of the cornet like you wouldn't believe. Technically very good, though, so if you buy Wallace, buy Baroque and you can't go wrong.

5 out of 5 stars Good collection of early works for the valved trumpet.......1999-02-16

Interesting collection of some of the earliest works for for the modern (valved) trumpet. The performances of the Haydn, Hummel and Fasch pieces are quite good. Useful liner notes.
