Some of the terminology here may be unfamiliar outside the trumpet realm. There is not an instrument called a "high Baroque trumpet"; rather, the album title refers to a Baroque trumpet played in its high overtone or clarino register. (The latter term has also been the subject of centuries of confusion.) This release by Baroque trumpeter Josh Cohen and the small Ensemble Sprezzatura features sounds from a natural valveless trumpet that are not often heard. The booklet notes open entertainingly with a quotation from musicologist Thurston Dart, claiming that "to obtain these very high harmonics (the clarino register) from a natural trumpet makes such merciless demands on a player's lips and lungs that the special technique required has long fallen into disuse and there seems little chance of its ever being revived." Cohen not only revives it but gets highly listenable results. He is one of a group of players, at first mostly American, who have cultivated not only the playing technique but the repertory that goes with it, much of it German and most of it unknown. For the full effect, sample the high Cs in several movements of the Sinfonia à 7 of Johann Samuel Endler. Another highlight is the Concerto in D major for trumpet, two oboes, and continuo, TWV 43:D7 of Telemann, where the continuo group includes a bassoon, and Telemann gets delightful sonorities out of this rather unwieldy group. The backing from Ensemble Sprezzatura under director Daniel Abraham is lively and sensitive to the soloist's challenges. Brass players may be especially alert to the technical rigors involved in Cohen's playing, but any Baroque enthusiast will find this a diverting release that brings home just how far trumpet playing has advanced over the last 50 years.
