New Release! The Art of the High Baroque , A World Premiere Recording on Baroque Trumpet. Last year in collaboration with The Belgian Baroque Soloists, Edward H.Tarr and Niranjan Wijewickrema we recorded 6 of the high Baroque concertos that until now have been considered unplayable on the Baroque trumpet ( Valve-less Trumpet ). The concerto’s were written by the late Baroque ( Rococo) masters of the 18th century. The CD which was recorded in the Baroque pitch of A=415 Hz features the works of J. Michael Haydn D major concerto, Franz Xaver Richter D major concerto, Franz Querfurth Eb major concerto, Joseph Riepel D major concerto, Georg von Reutter II C and D major concerto’s. This CD is the culmination of a 10 year dream. In 1997 Friedemann Immer handed me my first Baroque trumpet and from that moment the challenge became clear to me. I wanted to play the entire Baroque repertoire with this instrument. With the help of the “Tongue Controlled Embouchure” ( TCE ) I was able to work the endless hours needed to accomplish my dreams. You can hear clips from my new CD on my website. All the best, BAHB! News: BAHB was interviewed by The Brass Herald. Visit BAHB's Biography page to read the entire interview. BAHB performed J. S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #2 on the Natural ( Baroque ) trumpet at the Escola Superior de Música e das Artes do Espectáculo Porto Portugal earlier this year.
