Sound the Trumpet

In addition to brassy extremes, the trumpet excels at a mellow, lyrical sound. When Wynton Marsalis wanted to prove his classical bona fides, he turned to a gentle Haydn trumpet concerto for a good reason. The instrument's songful quality makes it a candidate for pop adaptations, too, as Håkan Hardenberger shows with his take on an arrangement of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides, Now".
