Michel Becquet

Post by Chatname »

My favorite trombone recording when I was young was Michel Becquet playing Leopold Mozart with the RIAS orchestra (Die Posaune Meisterhaft Gespielt, I think it was called). I asked him about it, he told me he recorded it on a Bach 42! The slow movement is the most beautiful trombone playing ever, as I recall it. Anyway, I gave away all my CDs and vinyls in a Marie Kondo-moment and now I cannot find this recording to stream or download on the internet.
I also used to have a cassette tape where he played Blue Bells and Axel Jørgensens Ballade and other pieces.
Does anyone know where to listen to these recordings online, or buy downloads?
Thank you!

Don't know about the Mozart, but Jørgensen and Blue Bells are both on YouTube:

Thank you! Jörgensen’s is a Romance, not a Ballade, of course, I got that wrong but you found it anyway!
The cd for sale on discogs is absolutely it! I’m however trying to find a way to get it digitally so I won’t have to buy a record player again…hence my question here. Doesn’t seem to be on YouTube nor Spotify or Apple Music. Any other streaming services?
