CLASSICAL
(alpha by featured artist)
>Andre,
Maurice - Trumpet Concertos
(EMI) - An excellent collection of some of the greatest concertos
of the baroque and classical eras. Highly recommended.
>Eklund,
Nicklas - The Art of Baroque Trumpet, Vols. 1-4,
- Some incredible natural trumpet playing.

Wynton - Classic Wynton
