Ibrahim Maalouf revient donc à ses origines et à l?essentiel : une trompette, unaccompagnement et 40 mélodies, pour fêter ses 40 ans.
Né à Beyrouth en 1980, Ibrahim Maalouf est aujourd?hui l?instrumentiste le plus populaire de la scène musicale française. Son travail de métissage des genres est reconnu partout dans le monde depuis plus de 10 ans.
Remplissant le Volkswagen Arena d?Istanbul, faisant des concerts sold out au Lincoln Jazz Center de New York, et voyageant à travers plus de 40 pays dans le monde ces 10 dernières années, il devient le premier jazzman de l?histoire à remplir la plus grande salle de concert de France. En effet, Ibrahim fait un show historique le 14 décembre 2016 affichant complet plus de 8 mois à l?avance à l?AccorHotels Arena de Paris Bercy.
Quelques mois plus tard, Ibrahim crée la surprise. Qualifié de « virtuose » par le New York Times, il se produit lors d'un concert exceptionnel en collaboration avec The New Levant Initiative, au Kennedy Center de Washington DC, pour la création mondiale de son album « Levantine Symphony No.1 ».
Ibrahim est récompensé par 2 « Victoires du Jazz » ainsi que 2 « Victoires de la Musique » (« Album Musique du monde » et « Concert ou tournée de l?année » qui par ailleurs sont les premières récompenses des victoires de la musique décernées à un instrumentiste depuis leur création il y a plus de 33 ans. Ibrahim a reçu également un « Echo Jazz » en Allemagne, un « César de la Meilleure Musique de Film » et un « Prix Lumières » pour la meilleure musique de film en 2016. Il reçoit également les prix honorifiques de Chevalier de l?Ordre du Mérite, et Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres du gouvernement français.
Adolescent, Ibrahim arrivait en tête des plus grands concours internationaux au monde et débutait une carrière de soliste classique, mais à partir des années 2000, repéré pour sa capacité à colorer les musiques de ses improvisations, il devient incontournable autant dans la pop, le jazz que dans le domaine des musiques dites « du Monde ».

This edition is more user-friendly than the others currently available. The accompanying CD provides piano accompaniments as well as samples from recordings of the Neruda Haydn and Hummell concerti with kind permission of Hyperion Records and Crispian Steele-Perkins.J.G.B. Neruda (1711-1780) was typical of 18th century musicians travelling and studying in various parts of Eastern Europe and finally settling in Dresden (1750-1780) in the Electoral (chapel) orchestra where he was salaried as a violinist and occasional composer. This concerto was originally composed for a Corno da Caccia (hunting horn) presumed to be something of a hybrid between the natural hornand natural trumpet but has been borrowed by modern trumpet players and is now firmly fixed in the Classical trumpet repertoire.This edition is intended to be more user-friendly than the others currently available: there is a much easier (and dare I say more stylistic) piano accompaniment - any doubling of the solo part has been removed voicing simplified and my premise has been to imagine what it might have been before it was orchestrated rather than trying to cram in every last piece of orchestral detail. Suggested cuts have been indicated which give a short introduction to each movement perfect for auditions recitals or exams. However the bar numbers still tally with the longer original versions which are included should they be required.The dynamics and articulation which I have added incorporate the weight of opinion in current editions and recordings offering more guidance than 'scholarly' editions without being over-prescriptive. There is an appendix with suggested interpretation of trills. Listening to as many different recordings as possible is the best way to assimilate good trills. The accompanying CD provides piano accompaniments and observes the suggested cuts. See page 23 for full track listing. There is free software available online (eg. speedshifter on the ABRSM

With a typical performance lasting about five minutes andforty seconds Ballad And Rag Divertimento is a truly exquisite addition to the modern Trumpet repertoire.

20 Progressive pieces with Piano Accompaniment-Philip Sparke’s Skilful Solos is the second volume of a progressive series of solo books that takes the young wind player from beginner to accomplished musician. Following on from the first book in the series Starter Solos this collection generally contains longer pieces suitable for the developing young musician.Specifically tailored for each instrument Skilful Solos introduces the concept of phrasing by suggesting suitable breathing points and takes the player into new keys with extended instrumental ranges new notes being introduced in a gradual and logical manner. Skilful Solos comes with a play-along CD.The advantages of playing either with Piano or CD accompaniment are that the beginning player can now experience the important aspects of ensemble playing from their earliest lessons thus developing the essential skills of listening while they play and maintaining strict tempo which is not always achieved when playing alone.
