I was wondering if anybody knew where I could find Jouko Harjanne recordings. Everywhere I looked (Amazon, Tower, Barnes & Noble, Border's) only had like 3 of his cd's, and I already have them. If anyone knows who has them please tell me.
Thanks. |

It's nice to see that someone else has discovered this trumpet artist as well. He's tone is so crystal clear - it's even better in person than on the CD's. He runs the Brass Week festival in Lieksa, Finland - which I got to attend once. He also gave a few concerts and masterclasses in Minnesota a few years back (which I also attended). Plus, he's a nice guy.
As far as getting his CDs, most of them are under the Finlandia record label. Supposedly this is distributed under Warner Bros. to their dealers, but I too have discovered that only 2-3 CD are available here. I have bought most of mine overseas in Europe. However there are a couple places to try.
This is Jouko's Website.
http://www.musicfinland.com/harjanne/
It has info about his recordings. You can try ordering from the US distributor - Atlantic Records or you can contact the Finnish Fuga CD shop and have them ship them to you I guess. (the link is on the recordings page)
ITG also recorded a CD of Jouko that you can order (from ITG, only). There is another version of it on the European market - both called "Trumpet Experience."
Buy the way, which recordings do you have?
I got the "Finnish Trumpet Concertos" when I was in High School from my relatives in Finland before I really knew anything about him or trumpet. Later, I got a few others, some which aren't available in the US, and a few that are.
Good Luck in your recording quest.

Marko-
I have a few questions.
1.) Have you ever ever dealt with the Fuga CD shop?
2.) Will they ship to the U.S, and how much does it cost?
The CD's I have are; American Trumpet Sonata's, Virtuoso Trumpet, and Trumpet Adagio.
Thanks for the help. |

Brian-
Yeah, I got your e-mail. Jouko did not know where to buy the CD's in the U.S and suggested the Fuga CD shop. His playing tips were very helpful however. Thanks for the info.
