Brahms, Haydn and the winner of the Maurice André prize
From Haydn, the great classical model and yet so innovative, to Brahms, it is more than a filiation that is heard.
What a pleasure to rediscover the highly original Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra in E-flat Major, which Haydn wrote for the brand new valve trumpet, performed by one of today's great trumpet players: Sebastian Berner, principal trumpet soloist of the HR-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt and the latest winner of the prestigious Maurice André Competition!
The incredible Variations on a Theme by Haydn weave the link between the first Viennese School and Brahms, whose Symphony No. 3 is one of the masterpieces. Made popular in the 20th century by the reinterpretation of one of its themes by a wide variety of artists, from Sinatra to Gainsbourg, not forgetting Litvak's ineffable Aimez-vous Brahms based on the novel by Françoise Sagan, it even managed to silence the composer's most fierce detractors at its premiere!
