Born to Be Mild

This has it all! High notes, Low notes, and those in between, ALL with a Glorious sound. Articulations and Attacks are appropriate for each number, whether crisp and staccato or a nice soft legato. However, what really wins me over in this recording is the musicality, Stoelzel's beautiful lyricism and brilliant dynamic contrast. I was listening to my Ipod on shuffle the other day and confused Stoelzel's "Oliver's Birthday" for the one that Phil Smith recorded on his "Contest Solos for Young Trumpeters" CD. Very tuneful selection of music, some pieces actually have been written for the man himself! If you play trumpet, whether serious or fun, BUY THIS RECORDING!
