Clarke:
Suite of Ayres for the Theatre

Händel:
Ouvertüre (Grave), Arie (Rejoice, greatly), Fanfare (The trumpet shall sound), Cantabile (Pifa), Finale (Hallelujah) aus Messiah

Dresden trumpeter Joachim Schäfer has picked out a special treat for us in his latest CD. With Jeremiah Clarke's "Suite of Ayres for the Theatre" (in which there is the "Trumpet Tune", one of the most famous trumpet pieces ever and originally assigned to Henry Purcell), and excerpts from George Frideric Handel's "Messiah", he has chosen two of the most famous English works. Especially for his trumpet ensemble, Joachim Schäfer has spectacularly arranged these works for eight trumpets in two choirs, with timpani and chamber ensemble, and included them in a recording which will make the heart of the trumpet fan beat faster!
