About
All the works on this disc written for trumpet and organ are highly demanding in terms of virtuosity and technical skill. They are superbly performed by trumpeter Reinhold Friedrich and young organist Iveta Apkalna who present a varied program of music ranging from the well known Messiaen, Takemitsu and Shostakovich to the lesser known Zbinden and Eschaich. As varied as they are, they all share the ability to coax the two instruments into producing an incredible variety of sounds.

Awards and reviews
February 2009
The exclusively 20th-century programme presents great challenges to Reinhold Friedrich and Iveta Apkalna which they meet with tremendous brilliance and élan. …it's fascinating to hear the constantly changing role of the two instruments, ranging from virtuoso solo passages through to dialogue which alternates between tension and serenity. A very rewarding CD which repays repeated hearings.
