"...and the gleamingly eruptive trumpet of Mark Inouye, made for an evocative finale." Richard Scheinin, Jan. 2013 San Jose Mercury News Debussy - La Mer "Principal trumpet Mark Inouye outdid even his own high standards, delivering the best opening fanfare, and many other solo passages, that I’ve ever heard in the work." Jeff Dunn, Sept. 2012 San Francisco Classical Voice Mahler - Symphony No. 5 "The orchestra, too, sounded at its finest. Each time Shostakovich returned to that lugubrious trumpet figure, principal trumpeter Mark Inouye delivered it with grace and eloquence." Joshua Kosman, Sept. 2012 San Francisco Chronicle Shostakovich - Symphony No. 11 "In the ovation that followed, there was a small, significant episode that caught my eye: when Bychkov who generously shared the applause both with individual musicians and the whole orchestra motioned to Inouye to stand, the principal trumpet turned to the rest of the section and waited until they stood with him. Bravo!" Janos Gereben, Sept. 2012 San Francisco Classical Voice Shostakovich - Sympohny No. 11 "Principal trumpeter Mark Inouye endowed the solo part with heartbreaking lyricism." Joshua Kosman, May 2012 San Francisco Chronicle Mahler - Blumine "...was a dreamy voyage launched by a three-minute trumpet solo from eloquent principal Mark Inouye." Andrew Patner, Mar. 2012 Chicago Sun-Times Cowell - Synchrony "Henry Cowell’s “Synchrony began with a sinuous, stunningly shaded extended trumpet solo by trumpet principal Mark Inouye." Susan Isaacs Nisbett, Mar. 2012 Ann Arbor.com Cowell - Synchrony "...and trumpeter Mark Inouye brought his trademark warmth and suavity to the fisherman's song." Joshusa Kosman, Mar. 2012 San Francisco Chronicle Stravinksy - Le Chant du Rossignol "...A Concord Symphony is turning out to be a real showcase for the entire orchestra, though several players deserve special mention ... trumpeter Mark Inouye ... whose pure sound might have been floating over Walden Pond in Thoreau, the last movement." Richard Scheinin, Mar. 2012 San Jose Mercury News Ives - A Concord Symphony "There were excellent solo contributions ... especially trumpeter Mark Inouye, whose every turn in the spotlight these days seems to elicit greatness." Joshua Kosman, Oct. 2011 San Francisco Chronicle Stravinsky - Petroushka "...the scherzo graced by a breathtakingly beautiful posthorn solo delivered from the upper terrace by principal trumpeter Mark Inouye." Joshua Kosman, Sept. 2011 San Francisco Chronicle Mahler - Symphony No. 3 "...from the opening brass chorale to Mark Inouye's phenomenal, offstage, posthorn-imitating trumpet..." Janos Gereben, Sept. 2011 San Francisco Classical Voice Mahler - Symphony No. 3 "Copland's "Billy the Kid" Suite was an apt opener, full of zesty rhythms and tuneful interchanges. A stunningly beautiful solo by principal trumpeter Mark Inouye capped the performance's success." Joshua Kosman, Sept. 2011 San Francisco Chronicle Copland - Billy the Kid "The gleaming tone, pinpoint intonation and evocative phrasing of principal trumpet Mark Inouye's solos in excerpts from Act III of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" were the talk of the board meeting during the concurrent annual conference of the Music Critics Association of North America." Barbara Jepson, Sept. 2011 Wall Street Journal Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake
