The fam'd Italian masters

Music for trumpets and strings from the Italian Baroque

'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' --Early Music Review

'Fascinating … Crispian Steele-Perkins and Alison Balsom play with an assured virtuosity' --Daily Telegraph

'beautifully lyrical trumpet-playing' --BBC Music Magazine

'Steele-Perkins and Balsom play throughout this recording as robustly and as sensitively as one could wish … Buy this disc' --Early Music News
