Info for Trumpet Concertos

"Lucienne Renaudin Vary's trumpet doesn't blare, it sings - and in many colours," wrote BR Klassik appreciatively, and OPUS KLASSIK named the twenty-something young artist 2021. Signed with Warner Classics in 2016, Trumpet Concertos is already the fourth album by the exceptional young artist. Together with Michael Sanderling and the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, the Frenchwoman combines rarely heard solo pieces by Neruda, Arutiunian and the jazz musician Harry James with two paradigm works of the trumpet repertoire: the trumpet concertos in E-flat major by Johann Nepomuk Hummel and Joseph Haydn.

Both Haydn and Hummel dedicated their concerto to a virtuoso of their time, the Viennese court trumpeter Anton Weidinger. He played a part in the development of the modern instrument, and with his keyed trumpet it was possible for the first time to produce not only natural tones but also chromatic tones. Haydn was the first to write a solo concerto for the new instrument, and he made extensive use of the new possibilities. Lucienne Renaudin Vary confesses that playing it was the "realisation of an absolute dream" since she first heard the sounds at the age of ten. At the end of the recording days, the trumpeter played a spontaneous improvisation on a theme from Haydn's imaginative concerto - the piece found its place on the album as a post-scriptum on Haydn. The full-blooded musician also brings out her trademark of combining swing and classical music with the Concert for Trumpet by jazz trumpeter Harry James.
