David King releases première cornet recording - 'Resurrection'

Mention the name of ‘David King’ to anyone linked with the brass band movement and they understandably connect it with the award-winning international conductor, whose list of achievements on the podium remains legendary.

For many, the Covid lockdown period has been a confining experience; to others, like David King, it has represented an opportunity to pursue new and innovative projects of a more personal musical significance.

Now, in what many consider his musical prime, David King has redirected his energy back into what is perhaps his first musical love - cornet playing.
Having spent so many decades mentoring and helping countless students and soloists to fulfil their own solo careers, Covid has given David an opportunity to record and release his own première solo recording, ‘Resurrection’.

For any Brass Band World / BBW Digital reader who may not have had the opportunity to hear David King ‘the cornet player’ in recent years, ‘Resurrection’ is the opportunity to hear him in a recording that listeners already consider to be “utterly exquisite in every facet.”

Recorded and produced in 2021 by three of Australia’s most distinguished musicians - David King cornet, Amir Farid piano, Jarrad Gilson producer - ‘Resurrection’ is a recording not to be missed.

‘Resurrection’ will be reviewed in full by Howard Snell in the October edition of Brass Band World / BBW Digital together with an interview by David King about the recording. CD and downloads of it are available exclusively at: www.davidkingmusic.com
