Review by Adrienne Smith

The album "Concerto For Piano Trumpet And Strings Capriccio" is a masterpiece of classical music that features the works of three renowned composers - Shostakovich, Stravinsky, and John Ogdon. The album is performed by the Academy of St MartinintheFields under the direction of Neville Marriner, with John Ogdon on piano and John Wilbraham on trumpet.

The album's first track, Shostakovich's "Concerto No. 1 for Piano, Trumpet, and Strings," is a brilliant and intense composition that showcases the virtuosity of both Ogdon and Wilbraham. The second track, Stravinsky's "Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra," is a lively and playful piece that highlights Ogdon's mastery of the piano.

John Ogdon's performance on the album is exceptional, with his technical skill and emotional depth shining through in every note he plays. John Wilbraham's trumpet playing is equally impressive, adding a bright and vibrant element to the music.

The Academy of St MartinintheFields, under the direction of Neville Marriner, provides a flawless accompaniment to the soloists, bringing out the nuances and complexities of each piece.
