Trumpet in the Evening
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Trumpet in the evening with us as we enjoy works for brass in our opening hour.
First up, Wynton Marsalis annunciates Purcell’s Trumpet Sonata in D, followed by a Vivaldi double-horn concerto with the ensemble Zefiro. Then it’s back to the trumpet again as the London Mozart Players and soloist Urban Agnas take on Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s Trumpet Concerto in E. Filling out our brassy first hour is Chris Gekker with the Manhattan Chamber Orchestra under Richard Auldon Clark, performing Alan Hovhaness’ hopeful “Return and Rebuild the Desolate Places” for trumpet and orchestra.
We’ll also hear from violinist Joshua Bell, who plays the music of John Corigliano this month with the New York Philharmonic (www.nyphilharmonic.org). Tonight, Bell performs music from Corigliano’s Oscar-winning score to “The Red Violin,” as well as Tchaikovsky’s “Meditation.”
And one more preview in store: Steven Kovacevich performs his only New York recital for the year on January 19th at the Met Museum; we’ll hear one of his selection for this concert, Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 28 in A. You can find more information about this concert at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s website.
