Morning Trumpet CD Cover

Tunnell's performance is inspired as he infuses deep feeling and inflection into his phrases, drawing out the unique character in each work. Tunnell's piccolo playing on Nelhybel's Metamorphosis is of particular note. Graceful and charming in places, and powerful and striking in others, it was a pleasure to hear.
