Håkan Hardenberger has earned a reputation of breaking new ground for the trumpet, commissioning works from the world’s foremost composers.

On this disc, he shows a different side to himself in arrangements of his favourite songs and film themes.

Hardenberger is joined by his long-standing collaborators: the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and the pianist Roland Pöntinen, who also has orchestrated several of the arrangements.

“Hardenberger is often rhythmically too straitlaced for this material. Still, we can admire his smoky flugelhorn tone and deft high passagework on muted trumpet. And the selection, from My Funny Valentine to The Godfather theme, is enjoyable schmaltz.” The Times, 10th March 2012 ***

The SACD contains works by composers such as Grosz, Korngold, Ullmann and Weill, all composers expelled from Germany.

“…Ullmann has been imprisoned in the 'model' concentration camp at Terezín where he set three Poems by Hölderlin to music in 1944. …the shining clarity of Oelze's voice never fails to prickle the emotions, in the meditative 'Abendphantasie' and again in 'Sonnenuntergang' with Apollo in retreat as the darkness gathers.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2006 ****
