Buccina Cantorum

"...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."

				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 The Historic Brass Society Frank Hosticka, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra NYC. .
