Such an emotional piece! I can feel the pain of thousands, but I can't take my head away. It's awesome! So intense and lovely. Great Work Igor! Have a wonderful evening.  👋🏼👩🏽‍🦱

beautiful work as always soothing to the ears ✨🎶

Amazing playing! So expressive and stunning. Wonderful track

A pretty piece of music! A suggestion for Tomi's piano would be to dampen some passages to make it sound as soulful as your beautiful trumpet play. But of course if the goal was to stay loud in the front, then it is perfect!

I love the music here definitely like it.

Phew you guys feel that cold wind im shivering out here!!!!

Exquisite feel and tone on the trumpet. So much feeling conveyed.

I know this piece of yours without the piano and I love it as it was. I don't think the piano is necessary, as it doesn't add much and it's constantly present. It's also a very bright electronic sample and kills the acoustic vibe. Sorry, otherwise I love the piece.

Listen to the piano improvisation of Thomas Nakos (aka tomi @to_mi_nor)on the Cold Wind by Igor Iofe.

This is an Armenian traditional melody 'Hovern Elan' for the woodwind instrument duduk that Igor made a trumpet interpretation of and Thomas added the beautiful piano part to it.
