Reviews:
The main body of this recording is an exploration of music for
baroque trumpet in varied settings. Included are vocal arias with
trumpet, two sonatas, and instrumental duets (Pairing Civiletti with
no one less than the German baroque trumpet virtuoso
Friedemann Immer), all of which are from the Italian Baroque.
The aria performances are engaging and the trumpet playing a
delight to listen to. The combination had been considered an
especially suitable pairing during this era, as the sound of the
castrato voice was often compared to that of the trumpet. If one
wished to single out any work from among all these polished
efforts, this listener was particularly drawn to the aria, La Vittoria
Segue by Antonio Caldara, from his 1718 opera Ifigenia in Aulide

"...Buccina Cantorum gave a splendid performance for the Montclair Music Club and Chamber Orchestra...Ms. Sumrow’s rich fine tones, especially in the high register was extremely outstanding. The balance between the instrumentalist, and the overall interpretation of Baroque style was superb." The Montclair Music Club Patricia Person, Music Critic Bel Canto Singers of Rhode Island.
"...Buccina Cantorum gave a gripping concert of music spanning nearly the entire Baroque era. Mr. Civiletti-one of the most remarkable early music trumpeters in the world today... Polish mezzo/contralto Ms. Sumrow sang with deep feeling and negotiated the demanding coloratura of the great ‘Bel Canto’ period with ease... Ms. Marrs, Harpsichordist... provided a solid and imaginative backing for the entire performance, as well as an engaging and rhythmically vital performance of Bach’s Toccata on D major." Saint Paul’s Concert Series Edward Green, Professor of Music Manhattan School of Music NYC.
"...an Early Music performance to be remembered. ...Buccina Cantorum transported the audience back to a period where listening to music was reserved only for the privileged."
