Music for Organ and Trumpet from Beverley Minster
Baroque Classics Alan Spedding and Crispian Steele-Perkins have enjoyed performing together for several years and decided to record those items from their repertoire which have given them and their audiences particular pleasure. The majority of these works are not familiar to a wide public since they are arrangements which demonstrate different facets of trumpet playing, and various instrumental curiosities from his collection whose repertoire has had to be re-created or re-invented. Happily, Crispian’s musical education included composition lessons from Peter Wishart, who taught him to write in the style of the Old Masters; this has proved invaluable subsequently when he has arranged and reconstructed music by Handel, Mozart and other great figures of Baroque and Classical music as are represented here.
