Wynton Marsalis: In Gabriel's Garden Reviews:
Not Wynton's Finest Hour 
2009-01-27 - Wynton's Classical recordings are a mixed bag, and this is at the bottom. While his recording of the Tomasi and Jolivet concertos is one of the best trumpet solo recordings ever released, this collection of Baroque favorites finds Marsalis' usually beautiful tone now strident and too prominently featured. He's not a team player in the Brandenburg and spends the rest of the disc overblowing and overornamenting what should be beautiful Baroque repertoire. Check out the Tomasi/Jolivet or "On the Twentieth Century," but leave this one on the shelf.
WOW! does not say it all! 
2008-05-20 - A two star reviewer complained that this CD is not for the purist! Fair enough. Wynton Marsalis is one of the leading jazz trumpeters over the last 30 years and has far more jazz material released than classical. If we can tolerate Benny Goodman playing Mozart Clarinet Concertos, we should be able to cut Mr. Marsalis some slack too! This CD showcases the playing of Marsalis and his take on some of the great Baroque classics. It is not meant to be a pure as snow period instrument performance! If it is not pure enough for you, just think of it as being in the style of Baroque and relax a little and enjoy the music. There is much to be enjoyed from track one until the end of this great CD! I have enjoyed Marsalis' playing all the way back to a CBS Masterworks vinyl LP from about 1980 and he is one of those artists that should not be missed!
Beautiful Classical Music
2008-04-25 - From the moment I heard this CD on my classical radio station, I knew I had to own it. This is one of my favorite CD's for relaxing. The selections are wonderful and Marsalis makes them even more beautiful with his unmistakable style.
Listen with Earphones and Be Astounded
2007-03-11 - As I've said in other reviews of music, I don't know the technicalities, but I know what I like. Wynton Marsalis has never failed to delight and, truth be told, I use "In Gabriel's Garden" as background music in the office and to fall asleep to. As smooth or smoother than any trumpet player I've ever heard, and his "Moto Perpetuo" is simply unbelievable.
He rounds out my four favorite classical musicians: Itzhak Perlman, Earl Wild, David Russell, and Wynton Marsalis. How would you like to see all four on stage? A pipe dream: I can't even get tickets to any one of them unless I know four years in advance that they're going to be in town.
Btw, "Classical Wynton" is my all-time favorite Marsalis album.
I have one wish, and can't forgive PBS for not doing this: Wynton had a program for kids about jazz, and after "its run," they never brought it back. I think it should be required in all schools.
Sweet baroque trumpet music!
2005-10-01 - It was the first disc that acquaints me with this trumpeter 2 years ago and i was suprised by that the disc brought me more than i ever dared expect from it, probably the artist is not active enough like a professional classical specialist to establish an impression to me as a classical artist from which I would like to expect more and more but this one is stunningly wonderful classical cd,although its sound quality is not preferable to me:the orchestre sounds too timid,afterall the trumpeter Mr Marsalis does not fail in retain my interest in the disc.well I cannot say more for trumpet is a complete musically stranger to me.if there are more classical trumpet music discs coming up.I would look forward to this name.
