Omar Tomasoni - Intrada (2022) [Official Digital Download 24/192]

This album presents some of the all-time “classics” of the classical trumpet repertoire. After much deliberation on how, when, what and why, trumpeter Omar Tomasoni explains that two specific events convinced him that now was the time to make the recording: the birth of his son Siebe and the pandemic. The programme includes Brandt’s Concertpieces No. 1 and No. 2, Françaix’s Sonatine for Trumpet, Enescu’s Legend for Trumpet and Piano, and Honegger’s Intrada. For a newly commissioned piece by Rob Goorhuis, entitled Canzoni, the two main performers here are joined by saxophone player Femke IJlstra. The album is concluded by Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, arranged for trumpet and piano by Timofei Dokschitzer.

In Omar Tomasoni’s personal note in the booklet he writes: “I want this album to be a testimony to the artist I am today. (…) A big thank you to Rob Goorhuis for accepting my invitation to compose an original piece. His Canzoni went beyond my expectations”. Omar Tomasoni is Principal Trumpet of the Concertgebouworkest in Amsterdam. He is also a trumpet professor at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Jeroen Bal is the pianist of the Concertgebouworkest.
