Tom Rolfs is one of the best orchestral trumpet players of all times. This interview was needed!

Nice talk. Roger Voisin and Armando Ghitalla helped revive interest in Baroque trumpet in the late 1950s. I still have all the original Kapp recordings of Voisin and Ghitalla titled "Music for Trumpet and Orchestra." As a high school student, I got to play Brahms 1st with the BSO and Greater Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra (GBYSO). We did two concerts, each with 1/2 BSO and 1/2 GBYSO. I sat between Ghitalla and Andre Comb in Symphony Hall. Voisin gave concerts in the Boston area in churches with organ accompaniment. I heard him play the Brandenburg #2 one time. What a thrill. I went to Oberlin where I studied with Adelstein who had an incredibly big sound, especially compared to Voisin.
