Trumpet Concertos: Telemann and Haydn

Discovering Music

Available for over a year

Stephen Johnson takes the trumpet concerto as his subject, journeying from the Baroque with a concerto by Telemann, to Haydn's ground breaking masterpiece of the Classical era. Soloist, Phillipe Schartz ventures to play an original keyed bugle - a new kind of instrument that enabled the performer to play all twelve notes of the scale for the first time, thus inspiring Haydn to put pen to paper. The BBC National Orchestra of Wales is conducted by Kenneth Woods.
