"Guy Touvron has not chosen an easy path. He gives each page an innovative tone and purity. The sounds of the trumpet appear in a state of weightlessness, flawless in their virtuosity and phrasing. Every trumpet player should listen to this record : they will discover a musical sensitivity and an attention to style of which we are not accustomed in this repertoire. " Diapason - "It is undeniable that Martha Argerich found the ideal partners in conductor Jorg Faeber and trumpeter Guy Touvron who produced an extreemly mellow sound of graceful fluency." Hamburger Adendbatt 28 "His interpretations are quite simply masterly, and show that he is in complete control of the musical line. One must admire this highly outstanding instrumentalist of our time." CD Review - |
