TRUMPET MASQUE

Jonathan Freeman-Attwood (trumpet)
with
Daniel-Ben Pienaar (piano)
CKD310

Trumpet Masque sees renowned trumpeter Jonathan Freeman-Attwood explore his passion for expanding the instrument's limited chamber repertoire by imaginatively arranging Baroque works previously scored for alternative forces.

In Trumpet Masque, Jonathan Freeman-Attwood and Daniel-Ben Pienaar take a radical new look at the 17th century with a compelling vision of repertoire historically far-removed from the traditional contexts of both trumpet and piano.

Through wonderfully vibrant programming and arrangements, this invigorating and warm-hearted chamber duo present music from Dowland to Purcell in an energetic, innovative and 21st century fashion.

The aim of this recording is to open our ears to a period of unequalled variety, colour, regional diversity and expressive freedom: the Venetian world of Gabrieli, the great pre-Bach North German lineage of Buxtehude, Jacobean dances and songs and the great G major sonata from Muffat's 'Armonico Tributo' with its virtuoso and valedictory passacaglia, which appropriately ends the disc.

Jonathan Freeman-Attwood, the newly-appointed principal at the Royal Academy of Music, London, is a multi-talented trumpeter, academic and Renaissance Man (BBC Music Magazine).

Jonathan Freeman-Attwood's career also extends to recording producer for many independent labels. Several of his productions have won major awards, including five Gramophone Awards.

South African born Daniel-Ben Pienaar is an award-winning pianist whose live performances and recordings have won him widespread acclaim: a kaleidoscope of colours and textures (International Piano).

Trumpet Masque provides a unique 21st century perspective on re-discovered chamber music of the Baroque period expertly re-worked for trumpet and piano.
Freeman-Attwood's playing is striking for the beauty of his lyrical phrasing and his richness of colour. Gramophone
