“In Haydn's E-flat Major Trumpet Concerto, Principal Trumpet Calvin Price gave the familiar showpiece an elegantly lyrical turn...For precision, sheer sonic allure and voluptuous phrasing, Price's Haydn would be difficult to top...in the concluding Rondo, he demonstrated nimble, percussive attacks and discrete articulations in the rapid passages.”

In a review of Price's La Jolla SummerFest solo performance of Stravinski's A Soldier's Tale , the critic said simply: “The astonishing Calvin Price.”
Jonathan Saville
“Price gave Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 a combination of speed, clarity of tone, precision, dynamic control and just plain musicianship...For trumpeters, this piece is a bitch, and only the best and most courageous will even attempt it.
Hail Mr. Price!

“His playing (of Brandenburg Concerto No. 2) amounted to a stunning achievement...Price's beautifully clear, ringing tone, his superb intonation, and the excellent balance he managed to maintain with the other soloists and the orchestra...Musicians might say Price “nailed” his part.”

“Price... ignited interest in Arutunian's little-known Trumpet Concerto in A-flat Major. It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the mustachioed musician applied a blowtorch of virtuosity to the score, firing up its post-romantic drama, triumphant fortissimos and showy, folk-like melodies.”
