Customer Reviews

Hello David, Thanks for your beautiful playing on your solo CD.
I have never heard such a big & warm sound!
You can hear your musical ideas as a conductor in your playing. Bravissimo!
Benny Wiame (Belgium)

I have just downloaded David King’s new solo CD – Resurrection and listening to it into the wee hours of last night and again this morning. It is absolutely amazing!
The playing on this CD is just on another level altogether, like I have never heard before – from anyone. And that also goes for his accompanist, Amir Farid.
It’s an all Australian project engineered by Jarrad Gilson in Melbourne and the production is simply excellent.
Congratulations – an awesome recording!

I have been greatly enjoying listening to your solo CD this last week and all I can say is Congrats… ‘I doffs me cap’.
I enjoyed your selection of pieces and the performances are inspiring. You exhibit a most wonderful control, particularly at those softer dynamic levels.
This CD is a perfect example of how a great player can maintain that tone quality regardless of range or volume or the required dramatic emotional impact. An object lesson in this key aspect of real cornet playing.

Dr King, I have listened to your CD many times and it is simply the best thing I’ve heard in a long time.  Thank you for sharing your incredible musicianship with us!!!
Ron Stinson (Colorado, USA) 

This is the CD of Cornet solos I have been waiting over 30 years for. This is how a Cornet should sound.
I have been listening almost avidly, almost like an addict, the sound, the artistry, the shaping of phrases, not to mention the pyrotechnics leave me in awe, recalling the days when I was able to benefit from such mastery.
Thank you for all you did for my playing so long ago, I wouldn’t have been able to have achieved anything that I have as a player without your instruction. Again, thank you for ‘Resurrection’ and please, please, please don’t let us have to wait quite so long for a sequel.

I have continued to savour the musical delights of your CD. Your control on long notes is exquisite and your command of the high register is phenomenal. As always, a distinctive vibrant sound with soul and passion. Thanks!

Dear David, your sound is unique and your technique utter perfection! All my memories from Salford and all that you taught me is with me every day and has in many ways shaped me both as a musician, teacher and as a human being! Best wishes

I thought I’d drop a little message to say how much I’ve enjoyed listening to the CD you’ve just released! Dafydd y Garreg Wen is my favourite of course but they’re all sublime!

I have just downloaded your new solo album. I run out of superlatives to describe the playing. Incredible playing and the clarity of technique and sound is unsurpassed.

Dear David, your excellent CD arrived in last night’s post. Thank you and congratulations on a superb recording. Musicality so fine and you never allow ‘virtuosity’ to get in the forefront, so to speak.  This is an amazing program – thank you so much.

 It’s been very nice listening to the album. ‘Schön Rosmarin’ is all I need to say… sound, phrasing, style. Bravo David!

‘Resurrection’ – awesome recording, I simply love it. I haven’t heard better cornet playing by anyone.
Keith Jackson (Australia)

I have just downloaded this album – it is sublime!
David, this album is a celebration of your musicianship and all you teach is in abundance here; talk about putting your words into actions, a great celebration of the cornet and a master of his trade.
