Description: The second volume of this series visits 20th-century France, where the combination of trumpet and piano inspired music of ravishing beauty, intimacy and wit. Through the bluesy retrospection of Hubeau’s Sonata, the voluptuous rhapsody of Schmitt’s Suite and the avant-garde eclecticism of Tisné’s Héraldiques, this album explores the quintessentially Gallic sonorities that came to re-define the instrument’s voice for the modern era. Huw Morgan (trumpet), Rebecca Wilt (piano).
