One of the most gifted instrumentalists of the 20th-century, Maurice André restored the credentials of the classical trumpet by reviving on stage and on record a vast part of its early and romantic repertoire, as well as premiering numerous contemporary works. This collection of concertante pieces from his EMI and Erato catalogues spans centuries of original works and transcriptions from Torelli and Vivaldi to Landowski and Jolivet, and features such established conductors as Riccardo Muti, Neville Marriner, Jean-François Paillard and André Jolivet.
