Fred Sautter, Roger Sherman - Famous & Infamous: Music for Trumpet & Organ (2016)

The spectacular sound of trumpet and organ playing in a generous acoustic is captured in this concert. The infamous is represented by the wickedly difficult Jericho: Battle Music, by William Albright, written as a virtuoso piece for both players. More famous tunes include the timeless Prince of Denmarks March by Jeremiah Clarke and Trumpet Tune by Henry Purcell, Bachs Toccata and Fugue in D minor, and Cesar Francks Chorale in E Major. The concert ends with the encore Rondeau by Mouret, more famously known as the theme of Masterpiece Theatre. A soloist with an international career including Principal Trumpet positions with several major orchestras, Fred Sautters performance on this recording is both authentic and engaging. Roger Sherman is Associate Organist Emeritus of Saint Marks Cathedral, Seattle, and host of the popular radio program, The Organ Loft. He is also the president of The Gothic Catalog.
