Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major

Haydn’s “most perfect concerto,” originally written for soloist and orchestra, was conceived to display the capabilities of the then newly invented valve trumpet. This Robert Rumbelow setting for soloist and Baroque era wind ensemble was premiered on the 1996 Japan Tour by the Eastman Wind Ensemble, Donald Hunsberger, conducting and Barbara Butler or Charles Geyer, trumpet soloist.
