- The Legendary Trumpet Virtuosity of Rafel Mendes
The entire CD showed why he was considered one of the finest trumpeters. Will appreciate other Rafel Mendes recordings.

- Raphael Mendez Legendary Trumpet Virtuosity
I have been listening to Mendez recordings for over forty years,and I am still enthralled by his virtuosity. This is an excelent CD when you consider that when it was recorded there was no dubbing available. What came out of the trumpet was what appeared on the recording.

Rating:

- Superb except for the Sound Quality!
I both love and detest this album. The title is correct. Mendez's virtuosity is legendary and the playing is great. The problem is with the quality of the recording. I don't know if that is an artifact of the originals or if it is an artifact of sloppy production for this release. In any event, it is disappointing.

The selections somewhat varied in style but ultimately all scream "Latin Trumpet". This is as true of LA VIRGIN DE LA MACARENA as it is of the selections from the opera, CARMEN. In all of them, the skill is superb. I just wish the recordings were as well.

I give it 5 stars for the art and 2 stars for the sound. I compromise with 4 because, deep down, I love it.

- The Greatest Trumpet player ever
Not to many people will argue that Rafael Mendez was the
greatest Trumpet player ever..yes better than M.Davis, Hirt,
Gillespie, Severson. This is a must own if you really want
to hear the greatest.
