Apologies I never got back to you properly about Wynton and Haydn and now I fear I never will sorry Briefly I just felt that it was a bad example because in my view it both overestimated the impact of Wynton s recording and underestimated how popular and well known the concerto already was before Wynton was even heard of It seems to give a status to that one recording which is not due I speak as a trumpet player who very much admires Wynton as a player but is very suspicious of the hype which sometimes attends him and which seems to ignore the many fine recordings of this piece which have been made before and after that one It s not a situation like Gorecki 3 or the loathsome The Piano It just from where I am sitting entirely lacks the feeling of a crossover It s just one good recording among many of a very popular piece LOTS of non classical specialists could whistle the 3rd movt tune while Wynton was still at school I m sorry to do this to you as you now won t have a chance to argue with me but it s the best I can manage right now Best wishes Neville 07 39 16 Jul 2004 UTC
