JONATHAN; ANNA SZALUCKA FREEMAN-ATTWOOD - JONES: FOUR TRUMPET SONATAS AFTER MOZART

Conceived by Jonathan Freeman-Attwood and Mozart scholar Timothy Jones, this program of four sonatas 'by' and 'after' Mozart represents a belated apology to the composer on behalf of all trumpet players. Had the trumpet developed into a chromatic solo instrument in the 1770s and 80s - like the oboe or flute - Mozart might have been inspired to write great music for the instrument. Following eight recordings for Linn of similarly re-imagined trumpet and piano music from Monteverdi to Richard Strauss, this recital is a compelling new contribution to the trumpet repertoire with four Classical-style sonatas, drawing on varied styles and periods in Mozart's music. It exhibits canvases from the Salzburgian church sonata to the strutting swagger of a 21-year-old pianist-composer in Munich and two large mid- and late-sonatas from the golden Viennese years. Accompanying Freeman-Attwood is the multi-award-winning Polish pianist Anna Szalucka.
