Deborah Calland, composer of Top Brass, has chosen twelve classic opera tunes and skilfully arranged them for trumpet and piano to make Onstage Brass. Styles and moods vary from the serenity of Gluck's Che farò senza Euridice to the impassioned Toreador's Song by Bizet. With Mozart, Verdi and Wagner well represented, this anthology will prove a must for all trumpet players, especially those at intermediate level, and pianists who are of comparable standard.
