Various Artists - Journey from Bologna - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The journey of this album started in Karlsruhe where Fruzsina Hara and Antonio Faillaci were studying in the class of Prof. Reinhold Friedrich and started playing the baroque trumpet with Dr. Edward H. Tarr. During these years they not only became good friends but also developed a mutual musical appreciation. Later Fruzsina became an internationally renowned professional baroque trumpet soloist who also performs with different ensembles and Antonio, also a modern and baroque trumpet soloist became professor at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italia in Lugano, Switzerland. Bologna (then the Papal States, now Italy), as one of the chief musical centers of the Italian peninsula, has maintained a practically uninterrupted outstanding tradition of music. Kremsier, a town in central Moravia (now Kromeriz, Check Republic), was the residence of the bishops of Olomouc from the 13th century onwards. Bishop Karl II von Lichtenstein - Castelcorno rebuilt the city and the palace after the war which brought the most brilliant period of time in the history of Kremsier. The bishop not only rebuilt the residence and the town but also maintained a well-equipped court orchestra. It's leader was the trumpeter and composer Pavel Vejvanovsky.
