Transcription has long shaped how composers and performers learn style and enlarge the music available for their instruments.

Transcriptions Baroque was recorded in the beautiful Trinity College Chapel. Trumpeter Anthony Pope (Orchestra Victoria) and Perth-based organist Dominic Perissinotto present eight works that chart the Baroque concerto. Four place the trumpet against an orchestral part arranged for organ; the remainder are solo organ transcriptions by renowned organists of their day, including Walther after Torelli, Bach after Vivaldi and Johann Ernst, and Dupré after Handel.

Reviews

a winner

— Kay Maclennan, ABC Classic FM

of immense appeal ... The performances are spirited and stylish and make highly enjoyable and overwhelmingly cheerful listening.

— John Maidment, OHTA News

the balance between the respective instruments is ideal ... Anthony Pope ... plays with pure, vibrant tone, excellent breath control ... formidable technique ... Perissinotto's immaculate phrasing and rhythmic control are ideally suited to music of the Baroque period ... his deft finger-work produces beautiful sounds

— John Barns, 3MBS FM Libretto

a wonderful live feel ... delightful balance ... superbly executed ... worth having for the trumpet duet of the Telemann Aria and the Bach/Vivaldi D minor concerto alone

— Neil Trezise, Organo Pleno

good to hear lesser known composers ... good contrast of instruments.

— Cliff Tucker, Radio Fremantle

a charming collection

— Margaret Throsby, ABC Classic FM

Dominic Perissinotto

Giuseppe Torelli

Giuseppe Torelli's music for trumpet and strings sits at the heart of the middle Baroque concerto. His sonatas and concertos give the natural trumpet bright, ceremonial lines over lively string writing.
