    Hi,

    here is the 2nd mouvement of one concerto for three trumpets by G.F.TELEMANN. Performed using the C trumpet. Enjoy !

    Wow, I love that piece!  What a great piece of music!  I don't think I've ever heard a concerto for three trumpets. 

    I thought maybe it should be in a more reverberant space to have those fanfares echoing.  Also maybe more inaccurate timing, but  I'm obsessed with that these days...  Overall it sounds excellent.   I don't think I've ever heard anything by Telemann that I didn't like.  I wonder what the slow movement is like?  Or is there one?  Maybe just a modulation between two fast movements?

    A belated 'Bravo!' from me.  You have created an overall orchestral timbre and sense of space with VSL that I find very pleasing, on top of a finely judged musical performance which I greatly enjoyed.

    This a really fantastic piece of music (byTelemann, but as well by yourself)! You did a tremendous job in finding the correct balance, ambience and instrumental sound. Lovely trumpets, timpani and strings.

    If I'm allowed to mention one tiny matter of taste: it's baroque music, with a rather small ensemble. I would let the strings sound more punchy and directly (e.g. with close mic recording) and shorter notes. This sounds more like a Harnoncourt interpretation (absolutely nothing wrong with it!) and I'm a bit addicted to to real historical practice (La Petite Bande, Il Fondamento, Musica Antiqua Köln, Les Musiciens du Louvre, The English Concert...) with a very direct and crisp sound.

    But again, a big bravissimo for your exquisit performance. A real pleasure for the ear of every amateur of the genre! Congratulations.

    Thanks Stephen and Max for your kind comments.

    @Max : the sound in this piece is totally assumed [;)]. We find very few performances of this piece (why ??) and i remember a recording By Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music on Decca label "L'oiseau-Lyre" (souvenir, souvenir ...). It was slower, performed with middle size orchestra like this. May be it had influence on me when i did it...

    I am harpsichordist since 40 years, so i grew up during the period of baroque's rebirth. I totally understand what you mean. I have made some more "baroque sound" pieces that will be certainly more in your taste. :

    Brandenburg N°3

    CPE BACH Symphony WQ 182 N°2

    Barsanti recorder sonata

    Bach B mass Domine deus

    Rameau Suite des vents

    Baach harpsichord concerto BWV 1057

    Enjoy !

    Best.

    I am a huge fan of Phlippe's baroque performances, which are as authentic as can be done with the samples available, as well as very good expressivo and interpretation.

    Thank you, Philippe,

    All the examples are simply outstanding as to interpretation, porformance, banance, mix, ambience and sound. Sometimes they say that virtual instruments can never replace the real ones (human feel), with which I agree, but you make it hard to keep believing that statement.

    I have a pereference for the C.P.E. Bach Symphony: so cristal clear and crisp, so subtle and yet vivid. I heard someone say that the Dimension Strings were too rough, lacking nuance to sound good, but here's the proof of the contrary. I bought the chamber strings for that reason and you will make me regret it... [;)]

    Sincere congratulations!

    Thanks Max.

    Don't have any regret about purchasing chamber strings : solo strings and chamber strings are ESSENTIAL for baroque music. For example, the third brandenburg demo is made just with solo strings. I never use Dimension Strings alone, it is always layered with solo and/or chamber. Dimensions strings layer  give much more character and realism (like in the CPE Bach).

    Best.
