Deseret News - Salt Lake City, Utah 1980

Concert Review By: Dorothy Stowe - Music Critic

An earsplitting blast which set up sympathetic vibrations in the organ pipes and caused some concern that the venerable walls of the tabernacle would come tumbling down, was created by Trumpeter Paul Cacia, Wednesday’s soloist with the Symphony & Choir.

Cacia, a spectacular artist who has toured as the Lead trumpet player with Al Hirt and His Big Band as well as numerous other name acts, operates on the proposition that if you’ve got it flaunt it.

He made no concessions to his surroundings, no attempt to tamp down his volume or moderate his shrill galvanic high tones and quite commendably so, for if music is worth doing, then its worth doing in its own idiom and stretched out to the limit of its possibilities. If you’re going at all, you might as well go for broke!

Largely un-amplified, Cacia filled the hall with his distinctive tone, round and clear which made a sweet poignant effect in the lyrical “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina,” but on “The Medley From Annie” he curled up in a ball, then uncoiled like a spring to launch a series of piercing wails and solidly supported shrieks that flew across the hall like the girders of that bridge and shocked the complacent audience into an enthusiastic reaction and standing ovation. Offering the uncompromising style of an expert soloist, Paul Cacia did indeed begin the summer season excitingly!
