the best of modern classical composition, delivered through powerful yet lyrical trumpet playing
Bio / Background
Twentieth Century Trumpet showcases the best of modern classical composition, delivered through the powerful yet lyrical playing of Lisa Lynn Verzella.
The CD features 3 contemporary works, written in the 50s and 60s, by composers from Russia, Germany and America. Two of these works, the Wildgans and the Jankowski, are world premier recordings.
Friedrich Wildgans' Der Mystische Trompeter is a six-movement piece for trumpet, piano and soprano, set to the poem "The Mystic Trumpeter" by Walt Whitman. The work demonstrates the chromaticism of Wagner and the atonality of Berg.
Alexandra Pakhmutova's Concerto delivers a Post-Rachmaninoff Russian tale through rich melodies and Prokofievan colors.
Loretta Jankowski's Sonata employs 12-tone lyricism and intense interplay of rhythmic and harmonic motives exchanged between the trumpet and piano.
Ms. Verzella resides in Utah, where she plays with the Ballet West Orchestra and the Utah Symphony, and teaches at Snow College.
