A collection of modern French and Russian concertos, featuring, among other pieces, a rare recording of Jolivet performing his own composition. One of his definitive recordings that fully conveys André’s charm.\nHis playing technique, which pushed the trumpet’s potential to the absolute limit, and his rich tone are truly the “voice of heaven” (Mineo Sugiki). No one could surpass him in the expression of musical emotion that transcended mere technique. Thus, his angelic tone—for which he was called “God”—continues to radiate an eternal brilliance on this recording as well. Maurice André passed away on February 25, 2012.\nAndré’s discography, said to number over 350 recordings, spans a wide range of genres—not only classical and Baroque but also jazz, vocal accompaniment, wind ensemble music, and contemporary compositions. In the Baroque repertoire, he devoted himself to the development of the piccolo trumpet and spent his entire life expanding the global repertoire and exploring the trumpet’s potential. Among his numerous recordings, the works by composers from his native France are praised on par with his Baroque recordings. Among these, this Jolivet recording—conducted by the composer himself—is truly a masterpiece and a landmark recording that epitomizes these pieces. While Jolivet’s conducting in his prime is a delight to hear, his expressiveness, which makes full use of that brilliant sound, is overwhelming when paired with Tomasi. Furthermore, his performance of the Archtunian concerto—one of the most frequently performed modern trumpet concertos—is nothing short of transcendent. His brilliant tone, rivaling even that of the work’s premiere performer, Dokschitzel, is in a class of its own. This commemorative album is a precious recording that fully captures the exceptional artistry of Maurice André.\n\n*Liner notes: Mineo Sugiki (at the time of release in 1992)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WARNER X TOWER RECORDS\/Detour Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53539282452769,"sku":"4943674118786","price":1047.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4943674118786.jpg?v=1789971117","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4943674118786","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
