This remastered CD from 1994/1995 with the I Virtuosi String Ensmble marked Mr. Steuart's International Conducting/Recording Debut.

He was especially pleased to aquire the services of the Virtuoso Chech Solo-Violinist Oldrich Vlcek who acts as both Concert-master for the Classical and featured Soloist with the I Virtuosi di Praga for the Baroque works on this CD. Mr. Vlcek's "I Virtuosi di Praga" string ensemble is augmenetd by members of the Prag Philharmonic Orchestra for the Classical recordings of the works presented by the famous Austrian Joseph Haydn and the lesser known Chech Johann Nepomuck Hummel. These classical recordings took place in the famous Supraphon Studios in Prag, Chech Republic.

For the Baroque works on this CD: the Concertos in C major by the Italian Tomaso Albinoni and in D Major by the Slovenian Guiseppe Tartini, Mr. Steuart's European Baroque "Soloist- Ensemble" were added to this constellation for recordings in Germany, again accompanied by the I Virtuosi di Praga Strings. These recordings took place as part of a series of Baroque works recorded as co-productions for National German Radio Broadcasts at the BR Bavarian Radio's Studio I in Munich, Germany.

All recording sessions were produced and directed by La Tromba Music Productions under Mr. Steuart's direction.

This Piano and Trumpet Duo CD was recorded together with the late Michael Schlueter on the Boesendorfer "Imperial" Grand Piano and took place in the Grand Concert Hall in the "Meistersinger- Conservatory of Music" in Nuernburg, Germany.

The works recorded are the very best of the original Trumpet and Piano repertoire of the 29th Century with an added special arrangment of George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" by the late giant of the Classical Solo- trumpet world, the Virtuoso and former Solo-trumpet of the Bolschoi Ballet Orchestra, Mr. Timofey Dokschitzer.
Mr. Steuart performs Gershwin's Rhapsody on a "historical" American Jazz-trumpet made by the C. G. Conn company in 1920.

The Duo also performs the Hindemith Sonata (1939) with Mr. Steuart playing his Monke (German) Rotary-valve instrument and Rafeal Mendez's Schezo in D-Minor on a vintage King "Liberty" Model Bb trumpet from the early 1950's. Other pieces on the CD include Eugene Bozza's "Rustiques" and Paul Jeanjean's "Capriccioso" performed on the "Traditional" Romantic Cornet as well as the famous works from Geoges Enescu ("Legend") and Alexander Goedicke ("Concert Etude") on the modern trumpet.

All recording sessions were produced and directed by La Tromba Music Productions under Mr. Steuart's direction.

On this CD Richard Carson Steuart performs as soloist and simulataneously conducts in 4 seperate recording sessions with 5 different enesmbles: the German Chamber Soloists, the Munich Bach Soloists, an Aria with Soprano (Brigitte Schmid) and Organ (Stephan Kestler), the I Virtuosi di Praga Chamber Orchestra from Prague, Chech Republic and lastly with an ensemble comprised  of the most experienced Chamber musicians of Munich's Philharmonic and Bavarian Radio Orchestras.

The recording is the first and only existing trumpet recording of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Oboe/Flute Concerto in it's orginal key of C major (performed on the piccolo trumpet in High Bb), as well as the only complete and orginal version of the Oboe Concert in Eb by Vincenzo Bellini (performed on the High Eb Trumpet).

The Arcangelo Corelli Sonata in D was performed on the (valveless) Renaissance Trumpet and the two movement Leopold Mozart Concerto (from the famous 9 Mvmt. Seranade) and the famous Haendel Aria "Let the Bright Seraphim" (perfomed together with the wonderfull German Soprano Brigiite Schmid) were aswell played by Mr. Steuart on (valveless) Natural-trumpets of the middle and High Baroque Eras, respectively.   

All recording sessions were produced by La Tromba Music Productions under Mr. Steuart's artisic direction.

The Spanish Blue Duo "LIVE" in Germany was recorded in the summer of 2005 in the "Toscanasaal" of the "Prince Bishop's Residenz", a grand Barock Palace built in the mid- 18th Century and located in the center of the city of the Franconian city of Wuerzburg, Germany (Northern Bavaria).

The CD takes the listener through several works of the Classical and Romantic periods of European "Spanish- Music" but suddenly moves abruptly from a concert duo version of Rodrigo"s "Concierto de Aranjuez" in an direct segue into the American Jazz pianaist Chick Corea's "Spain" with added Jazz Trio accompaniament. The programm now quickly goes on to works by Miles Davis("Nardis"), Louis Bonfa ("Manha de Carnival") Ron Carter ("Sabato Sombreo") and even includes a "bonus track" of a remastered version of an orginal work by R.C. Steuart (his "Spanish-Blue") which is a completely improvised "homage" on the wonderfully free music of the famous Gipsy Kings and their early mentor the beautiful Frech sex-symbol and actress Brigitt Bardot of that time. Ms. Bardot is infact reported to have "discovered" the Gipsy Kings, helped them to their international success and even invited them repeatly to her villa by San Trope in the late 1960s where she is said to have loved to dance spontaneuosly to their music by erotic/ecstatic beach-campfire parties!

All recording sessions were produced and directed by La Tromba Music Productions under Mr. Steuart's direction.

An obvious departion from Mr. Steuart's regular musical jargon, Richard has recorded a CD nostagic Big-Band and popular Jazz favourites of the 1930's 40's and 50's and even 60's on this playful CD. This is the latest of 7 Munich Brass "plus" CDs and was completed in February of 2008. It is especially "light- hearted" and nostalgic and presents the M-Brass "Quintet +..." medium in yet another light.

Mr. Steuart leads his Munich Brass recording and concert constellations (now in it's now 25 season) on this CD in a Sextet formation with a guest solo-Saxophonist: the French Canadian Normand DesChene, who now resides in Germany.

This recording was produced by Mr. Steuart for La Tromba Music Productions in the Westend Studios in Buchbrunn Germany in cooperation with the MMO Music Minus One company of New York, New York as part of a series of 5 CDs Mr. Steuart recorded as Soloist since 2003. The other four CDs include 2 CDs of opera favourites with Symphony Orchestral accompaniment recorded in Plovdiv, Bulgaria and 2 CDs with Concert Band acconpaniment recorded in Kiev in the Ukraine.

In a BIG BAND Mood includes many Popular-"Jazzy" tunes such as Harry James' "Blues and Cantabile", Earl Hinse's "Harlem Nocturne", Duke Ellington's "Cooties Concerto", Henry Mancini's "The Pink Panther" and Mr. Steuart's favourites the New Orleans classic from 1930's "St James Infirmery" and from 1960's, "The Swingin' Shepard Blues" by the late Canadian Jazz-Legend Moe Kaufmann.

Earlier Munich Brass CDs (four of which done for the Bavarian Radio, Munich) include an all George Gershwin CD entitled "Gershwin in Brass" the CD "From Bach to Bernstein" and a CD with Modest Mousorgsky's "Pictures of an Exibition" and Mr. Steuart performing the Arutunian Trumpet Concerto and Jean Bapitist Arban's Variations on the "Carnival of Venice" with Concert Band accompaniment. All recording sessions were produced and directed by La Tromba Music Productions under Mr. Steuart's direction.

The Spanish Blue Duo with the unusual combination of a classical guitar and a trumpet was formed in 1997 specifically for a Gala- Concert and special Recording project in quaint country village of Gruensfeld ("greenfield") in the beautiful "Taubertaal" in northern part of the German State of Baden-Wuertenburg.

Both the Gala-Concert and CD production were sponsored by the Lord Mayor and town council of that village and involved not only Mr. Steuart and the young Virtuoso Guitarist Chrisian Reichert (who had just one year before won First Prize in the presigous Andres Segovia International Guitar Competition held in Granada, Spain) but aswell a hand picked 5-man accompanying group of experienced Jazz musicians (amoung others, the American born Drummer Billy Elgart and the Bassist Rudy Engles) but as an very special guest for the Gala-evening the beautiful and "firey" female Spanish Dancer Mercedes Consuelles-Sebald! This CD begins with the recordings of the "Classical-Spanish" works of Rodrigo (the 2nd Mvmt. from the "Concierto de Aranjuez") Maurice Ravel ("Habinera"), Issac Albeniz ("Sevilla") adapted for the Duo and moves through several related and further developled musical styles which had their origin in Spain but were exported throughout several centuries of Spanish Imperialist expansion to the "New-" Spanish and Portogese speaking "World" (ie. Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Cuba, etc.) in the Americas.

The CD includes works by the Mexican Virtuoso Trumpeter Rafael Mendez (his "Bambuco"), the Argentinian Bandonioist Astor Piazolla (his "Cafe 1930" from L'Histoire de Tango) and the Brazilian Jazz Guitarist and Film composer Radames Gnatalli (his "Bozza Romantica") to name only a few of the best known works presented. Don't worry though, it also includes Mr. Steuart"s rendition of the famous and beloved "Granada" by the Mexican composer Augutin Lara!

All recording sessions were produced and directed by La Tromba Music Productions under Mr. Steuart's direction.
