American and English music for trumpet and Wind Band with "Orchestra di Fiati dell'istituto Vecchi Tonelli" di Capi e Modena Massimo Bergamini, conductor

REVIEW by Andrew Pearce Dear Marco & band: Thanks very much for the kind email and fabulous recording. As far as I know, you are only the second trumpeter to perform/record this very demanding work - you are very brave !

Its also the first time I've heard my wind band version and I must say how great the band supported you too. You have a commanding sound, lots of expression, many colours, a great range (well done on the top E - this is the only way to play it !) and I am really flattered by your interpretation of 'Maestro'. Many congratulations to you, the conductor and band, bravo ! Andy

review by Philip Sparke Oh my goodness, Marco, that’s fantastic!!!! I’ve never heard the piece played with such passion. It’s the best ever!! I thrilled it will be released on CD. Please could you send me a copy when it’s released?

I’ve listened 6 or 7 times now, and find your performance utterly captivating. You play it better than I wrote it!! (Smile) Best wishes, Philip

Review by Joseph Turrin Hi Marco,

Just finished listening to Chronicles. You are fantastic - Great Playing! Tempos were right on and your musicality in the second movement was beautiful not to mention your wonderful technique. Please tell the players and the conductor how impressed I am with their playing also. Really looking forward to getting a copy of the CD. Please record more of my music.

Joe
