Undiscovered Trumpet Concertos

Trumpet virtuoso Paul Neebe is the rare kind of musician destined to be a soloist: commanding a characteristic, recognizable sound full of determination and expression, yet never sacrificing precision or clarity. Who better, then, to champion UNDISCOVERED TRUMPET CONCERTOS by four contemporary composers?

Despite what the recency of these works may suggest, the language of these concertos is largely tonal and consonant. Neebe’s solo trumpet is symphonically complemented by the Budafok Dohnányi Orchestra, an acclaimed ensemble from musically rich, musically conservative Hungary. Considering the tonal-yet-contemporary material, one could not imagine a more perfect symbiosis. Neebe and the Hungarians form a veritable dream team, and the result is nothing short of a revelation.
