“Listening to Hardenberger play trumpet is an extraordinary experience, something that should be on any music lover’s bucket list. The man produces an unequalled beauty of tone; when he plays one of these long-breathed cantabile melodies, the timbre and the elegance of Hardenberger’s phrasing send one into raptures. If he’s playing fast, whether smooth scales or flutter-tongued tremolo, he makes it sound natural in a way I’ve never heard from another brass player. It’s just magnificent.”
