about Music- Programme 118 The Golden Trumpet

The trumpet has long been associated with ceremony, triumph and brilliance, but behind its dazzling sound lies an instrument capable of remarkable elegance and warmth.

In this programme we follow the trumpet’s transformation from the noble natural trumpet of the Baroque to the expressive solo instrument of the Classical era. Four magnificent concertos chart that remarkable journey. George Philip Telemann and Johann Wilhelm Hertel capture the brilliance of eighteenth-century court music; Joseph Haydn revolutionises the instrument in his famous concerto written for the newly invented keyed trumpet; and Johann Nepomuk Hummel crowns the programme with one of the greatest concertos ever written for the instrument.
Together these four works reveal that the trumpet is far more than an instrument of fanfares and celebration. It can sing with lyricism, dance with elegance and astonish with breathtaking virtuosity.
Whether you are discovering these masterpieces for the first time or renewing an old friendship, this programme promises an hour of radiant music from the golden age of the trumpet concerto.
Join Brian for an hour devoted to the trumpet at its most radiant – not merely an instrument that announces, but one that converses, dances, and sings.
