The Art of Dancing: four dynamic new works for trumpet, piano and strings
An instrument of marvellous fanfare and often untapped lyricism, the trumpet has been unjustly overlooked as a solo instrument. Trumpeter Simon Desbruslais has been doing sterling work to correct this oversight, and this exuberant disc offers an excellent follow-up to his 2014 Psalm: Contemporary British Trumpet Concertos.
