 Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2022 6:59 am Post subject: Natural Trumpet (no holes) recordings |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm looking for recommendations for audio recordings on CD or DRM-free digital downloads of natural trumpeters playing natural trumpets - i.e., without vent holes. I'm aware of the work of Madeuf. I haven't found anything for Julian Zimmerman other than online videos.
Thanks,

| Don Smithers is a proponent of the true, natural trumpet. He made a number of recordings on the Philips label in the 70’s (?) but I do not know if he used a no-hole trumpet for those or not. Ed Tarr was using one or two holes at that same time, I think. |

I've seen a few of Smithers' recordings on vinyl (for which I'm not equipped), but nothing digital. It might be worth (re)investing in a turntable. I have to read his '...before 1721" book (sitting on my shelf for a while now) to gain further insight. Thanks! |

Look for recordings with Jean-Francois Madeuf. I have his Molter, Telemann and Purcell CDs as well as him playing on Bach Christmas Oratorio.
The son of a friend of mine studied with him and turned me on to his recordings. Might not be one better today (without holes) |

Madeuf is awesome.
Re: Smithers
I'm working my way through the '1721' book. Early on he states clearly that he doesn't see much value in 'baroque' trumpets with (presumably multiple) vent holes, although he does say that the Meinl & Lauber Tarr model (one hole) is a good compromise. This is as of the 1973 publication date and perhaps written earlier. Nothing about his own recordings yet. |
