Concerto no. 3 in D major, MWV IV, 11

Johann Melchior Molter is a composer well-known among enthusiasts of music for winds, but generally his output is performed on modern instruments. Extensive research in the field of historically informed performance practice theoretically allows for the faithful reconstruction of the original sound of this music, but there exist only very few trumpetists today who are able to play on the required natural, valveless instruments.

Jean-François Madeuf is one of these, extracting a warm, noble sound which make these concertos a very pleasurable listening experience.
