another great gerard schwarz cornet album.......2006-02-02

Once again I am amazed by a great Gerrard Schwarz album. I own all of his albums and bought this one right away. I think he is quite possibly the most musical trumpet/cornet player ever to play alongside Maurice Andre. This album is great, and there are many more albums featuring these great players that should be re-released, such as "Festival of Trumpets" with the new york trumpet ensemble. Nontheless this album is a must pickup for any music enthusiast.

Not Your Normal Repertoire....but EXCELLENT!.......2005-09-27

I didn't know what to make of this CD before I bought it, and still haven't totally figured it out as I was listening to it, but I did find it very enjoyable. "Turn Of The Century Cornet Favorites", as this CD is titled, seems to be a misnomer...I didn't recognize one selection among the 19 tracks contained, but that may be the greatest appeal of this CD for any cornet player, brass player, or aficionado desiring some relatively unknown, but well-played, music from a bygone era. As I was listening to the CD, images of the turn-of-the century came to mind. I imagined sitting near a gazebo, while a community band and soloist performed on a summer's eve, or perhaps at a pavilion at the World's Fair. Having played french horn and other brass instruments in my youth, I was familiar with the names of Clarke and Arban (who wrote a celebrated Cornet Method still used today in many colleges and conservatories), and some of their better known compositions. But I have to admit, this materials was all new to me. For anyone wanting to supplement their brass CD collection with recordings not found anywhere else, this CD will do very nicely indeed. The playing by cornet player Gerard Schwarz in amazing, with technique to burn and a beautiful tone to match. Kudos also goes to the outstanding accompaniment he receives from the Columbia Chamber Ensemble. Also, please see my review of "Footlifters" (another winner), part of the Brass Masterworks series on Sony. Keep them coming.

You would be hard pressed to find any recording that exhibits greater qualities of lightness, motion, and beautiful phrasing than this one. Add to that Schwartz's beautiful tone and flawless technique, and you have the perfect model of how these cornet solos should sound. I write as a trumpet player who has played quite a bit in this style.

Exceptionally good.......2003-08-04

This is a terrific compilation of hot jazz tracks from the 1920s, including a number I have never heard before. The sound has been cleaned but is still very clear and balanced. A great addition to your collection.

(A word of warning: the first track is the exception to the above praise. Its sound quality is poor, as indeed is the performance itself. Also, this CD is exceptional in the output of publisher ABM (Audio Books & Music). The majority of their CDs of old jazz are of very poor sound quality.)

Customer Reviews:

Buy for its historical value ONLY.......2001-09-01

The audio quality on this CD is abysmal. Either in an effort at authenticity or out of laziness or penny-pinching, they did not clean up the audio at all. The fact that the CD comes without any documentation whatsoever would make me guess the latter. There are volume swings, lots of hiss, and low signal-to-noise ratio throughout, especially on the second CD. The player piano used for Joplin's rolls on the first CD sounds like it is the same vintage as the rolls themselves, in other words, lousy. Don't buy this CD unless you are historically interested in the source material.
