In Deborah Pritchard&#8217;s Skyspace he plays the piccolo trumpet, an instrument familiar through baroque works &#8211; famously in Bach&#8217;s Brandenburg Concertos &#8211; but seldom heard in contemporary music. It suits the soaring lines of Pritchard&#8217;s work, the seven sections of which portray varying colours of the sky. The two outer movements of John McCabe&#8217;s concerto La Primavera bustle with energy, powered by jazzy percussion, while the middle section has Desbruslais playing a romantic flugelhorn solo. Robert Saxton&#8217;s psalm A Song of Ascents re minds one of Bloch&#8217;s cello work Schelomo &#8211; combining the meditative with religious fer- fer vour. His Shakespeare Scenes allows Desbruslais to revel in playing character studies of Falstaff and Lear among its six sections. He&#8217;s given excellent support from the Orchestra of the Swan, conducted by Kenneth Woods, in the first three works, and David Curtis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211;Norman Stinchcombe<\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:100px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/kennethwoods.net\/blog1\/2015\/01\/27\/cd-review-birmingham-post-on-psalm-contemporary-british-trumpet-concertos\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"box_count\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SIMON Desbruslais demonstrates his virtuosity in four fresh, vigorous and varied works by three British composers.
