Johann Sebastian Bach sadly left no trumpet concertos known to us in the twenty-first century. Trumpeter Matthias Höfs has now remedied this situation by arranging a number of Bach’s solo concertos for his instrument. His modern piccolo trumpet is able to bring out the brilliant sound of the trumpet in the demanding melodies of the concertos. Together with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen he has produced an album that furthers a long tradition.
