German Baroque Trumpet Concertos

Baroque works for oboe have long been fertile ground for transcription to the trumpet and there are several examples here of this refashioning. The sequence of concertos and sonatas include examples from Handel's Italian years, and from Johann Gottfried Stolzel, who was strongly influenced by Vivaldi. Telemann's marvelously inventive Concerto in D Major is performed on the modern flugelhorn. In addition, there is the only known surviving work from Johann Michael Fasch, younger brother of the more famous Johann Friedrich.
