John Holt is principal trumpet of the Dallas Opera Orchestra and has performed and recorded with the Dallas Symphony, Fort Worth Symphony, Dallas Opera Orchestra, and Voices of Change. He is Assistant Professor of Trumpet at the University of North Texas. "He is a fine, expressive player with a pleasant tone quality, clean articulation, and excellent technical skills." Kilpatrick, American Record Guide
“Every item on John Holt’s new recording lives up to the title ‘Facets’. The programme is diverse, ranging from Herbert Clarke trumpet bonbons and smashing arrangements of Duke Ellington tunes to more adventurous contemporary fare…Ronald Lo Presti’s Suite for Five Trumpets is a celebration of fanfares and interweaving lines, while Fisher Tull’s Canonical Trilogy for four trumpets manages to pack an enormous amount of interesting sounds into three movements. Another winner is James Wintle’s Three Studies for trumpet ensemble, whose audacious energy tests the virtuosity of its exultants (but they triumph)… Holt is an elegant, sensitive artist.” Gramophone, Awards issue 2004
“Holt is a fine, expressive player with a pleasant tone quality, clean articulation, and excellent technical skills…All [the works] are played with beautiful tone and blend by Holt and his Texas trumpet friends Rick Bogard, Keith Johnson, Adam Gordon, Bert Truax, and Jimmy Tullos.” American Record Guide, Nov/Dec 2004

UNconventional Trumpet
was inspired by a great teacher, John James Haynie, who taught trumpet at the
University of North Texas from 1950 to 1990. Most of the pieces on this
CD were dedicated to Haynie. John Holt was appointed appointed Professor
of Trumpet at UNT in 2003. He is principal trumpet with the Dallas Opera and
has performed and recorded with the Dallas Symphony, Fort Worth Symphony,
Dallas Opera Orchestra, and Voices of Change.
“John Holt plays with a pleasingly warm tone and seemingly effortless technique.” Fanfare, May/June 2005
“Sweet, burnished tone and excellent intonation.” American Record Guide, May/June 2005
“Unconventional Trumpet is an excellent recording of difficult trumpet literature by University of North Texas composers and this is the first-known recording of some of these works. The high quality of this recording, the precision of the ensembles, and John Holt’s excellent performances, especially all eight of Tull’s Profiles, should be of particular interest to college teachers and students.” The Instrumentalist, December 2005
“Holt’s performance is very precise with impeccable rhythm and an agility that impresses.” International Trumpet Guild Journal, Jan. 2006

“One of the standards of the trumpet repertoire, Kent Kennan’s Sonata, is here in all its accomplished glory…Holt plays [throughout the CD] with perfect technique and intonation, altering his sound deftly to suit the multitude of colors packed into these challenging works.” Gramophone, May 2005
“Facets 2 is a first-rate recording.” The Instrumentalist, October 2005
“The performances are excellent and the sound quality, in the Texas Mesquite Arts Centre, is thoroughly sympathetic.” Jonathan Woolf, MusicWeb, Feb. 2007
“John Holt has bestowed upon the trumpet community another excellent recording of some great recital repertoire…His rich, velvety tone is especially remarkable on Turrin’s exciting Two Portraits, as well as the stirring Someone to Watch Over Me. His performance of the Ewazen Sonata highlights his great control over a variety of tonal colors…Overall, this disc offers the listener very high quality performances of some wonderful recital repertoire, both standard and less traditional. I recommend this CD highly.” Peter Wood, ITG Journal, October 2005

John
Holt is principal trumpet with the Dallas Opera
Orchestra and trumpet professor at the University of North Texas. His first
three CDs received unanimous critical acclaim, with Gramophone Magazine saying “Holt
plays with perfect technique and intonation, altering his sound to
suit..challenging works.”

piano and cello. William Schmidt, one of the world’s leading exponents of brass
writing, explores his Jazzberries: Raspberry Riffs, Blackberry Blues,
Boysenberry Boogie, and Strawberry Jam. Piazzolla, the best known composer of
tangos, contributes four wonderful tangos, transcribed from bandoneon here for
trumpet, piano, and cello. American composers Shapiro, Robbins, and Bradshaw
round out this wonderful album featuring the Spanish group Trio Chromos, all
members of the Gran Canaria Philharmonic Orchestra in Spain.

“Another winner for Crystal Records…all four [works] are entertaining and worth hearing. Indeed, I’ve been playing this recording compulsively since acquiring it a little more than a week ago…His playing leaves behind the mechanical issues of the trumpet and achieves the distinction of vocalism. It is as if he is singing through the trumpet, producing a big, warm sound when that is wanted, a subtle thinner sound when that is called for, all with the inflections of a master singer. There is a sense of relaxed confidence even in the most virtuosic passages, but also a sense of excitement and joy in the pure pleasure of playing these enchanting works.” Leonard Link, on the web, April 2007
John Holt
is principal trumpet with the Dallas Opera Orchestra and trumpet professor at
the University of North Texas. His first four CDs on Crystal received unanimous
acclaim, with Gramophone Magazine describing him as “an elegant, sensitive
artist.” The four concertos herein are a
feast for the sensibilities: lyrical or dramatically expressive; rhythmically
or harmonically nodding to the popularity of jazz; reflective of modern chamber
music and symphonic music first heard in Paris in the 1920s; or expressing new
ideologies.
