Synopsis

Album Description

Heralded internationally as an outstanding artist, trumpeter Jens Lindemann has enlisted the talents of The Canadian Staff Band's 30-piece ensemble for his second Marquis recording, Rising Sun. Lindemann's musicality and virtuosity coupled with the warmth and skill of The Canadian Staff Band clearly demonstrate the brilliance of this collaboration. The music offers an eclectic mix of standard repertoire and original compositions, some of Lindemann?s finest work to date. This musical journey takes the listener from Japanese flavoured pentatonic harmonies found on the title track, to fiery temperaments peppered throughout Slavische Fantasie, and goes on to soothe with the familiar sounds of classic Gershwin delivered in a unique Lindemann style.

CD Reviews

Extremely Fine Trumpet Playing in a Very Eclectic Program

T. Swensen | S.F. Bay Area | 09/12/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This disc is somewhat in the vein of Philip Smith's CD titled

My Song of Songs. Smith's disc is predominantly arrangements

of Christian hymns and songs, while Lindemann's is secular

except for two tracks. Both are recorded with excellent

Salvation Army brass bands.

Lindemann's sound, range, technical facility and breadth of

musical expression are phenomenal. Trumpet players will be

astonished at the level of control he has over his tone.

Lindemann excels at selling each piece, whether it be a

light piece or a substantial work such as Allen Vizzutti's

new composition. Musical maturity is evident here. He is

stylistically right-on.

Lindemann has a very strong high range and uses it

frequently -- perhaps a bit too frequently, but if I had

the ability to generate excitement like that, I might do

the same. It remains in good taste. Lindemann conveys a

lot of joy in this recording. The use of fluegelhorn and

piccolo trumpet add a variety of colors to his sound and

keep the disc interesting.

A special note must be made of the gorgeous piccolo trumpet

playing in the Vizzutti piece. It is an effortless, full,

and fluid sound. This piece alone is worth the price of the

disc.

The instrumentation of this project -- trumpet with brass

band -- will limit the appeal of the recording for many. This

is unfortunate, for the playing is on an extremely high level

throughout and the music making transcends the instruments

themselves.

Very highly recommended."
