"The Kijé music elicited some of the orchestra's most transcendent playing of the festival, spearheaded by luminous solos from trum- peter Mark Inouye." Joshua Kosman, June 2007 San Francisco Chronicle Prokofiev "Lt. Kijé Suite" "The finely wrought cameos of the orchestra . . . the exquisite, muted trumpet work of Mark Inouye." Richard Scheinin, Feb. 2007 San Jose Mercury News Claude Debussy "Nocturnes" "Inouye delivers one heck of an impressive and compelling debut...Full of fire and fun to listen to..." Edward Blanco, Nov. 2006 eJazzNews.com The Trumpet & The Bull "The Planets . . . highlighted the orchestra's power, partic- ularly in the complicated trumpet passages ably performed by Principal Trumpet Mark Inouye, as well as its more trans-parent and gauzy textures in solo passages." Allison Young, June 2006 Arts Houston Magazine Gustav Holst "The Planets" "His often brilliant - sounding tone was tautly focused. His legato playing was sweet and supple." Charles Ward, Feb. 2005 Houston Chronicle Tartini Violin Concerto arr. for trumpet "Inouye's playing, brilliant and buoyant" Allan Ulrich, May 2001 San Francisco Chronicle Jazz concert "Inouye gave a suave, honey-toned account of the score." James Roos, Oct. 1999 Miami Herald Haydn Trumpet Concerto
