| Rafael Mendez - Haydn Trumpet Concerto |
 |
In this second installment of the Rafael
Mendez special entitled "The Trumpet," Mendez
begins with discussing the origins of the
trumpet and then plays an exceptional
rendition of the third movement of the Haydn
trumpet concerto.
For those of you familiar with this piece it
will be a breath of fresh air to hear
Mendez's version. This was the first piece
written for the keyed trumpet, and Haydn
wrote this concerto to really showcase this
brand new instrument. Unlike other classical
trumpet performances of this piece where the
trumpet sounds like a part of the orchestra,
Mendez electrifies the show by playing with
such vigor and virtuosity. I think Mendez is
doing Haydn a great favor by playing this
piece not as part of an orchestra, but as a
trumpet player. Haydn intended this to
showcase the trumpet, and Mr. Mendez does
just that.
