Lucienne Renaudin Vary - Trumpet Concertos (2022) [Hi-Res]

For her fourth Warner Classics album, Lucienne Renaudin Vary has chosen four favorite concertos. Composed by Haydn, Hummel, Neruda and Arutunian, they span three centuries. Joining them on the programme are a so-called "concerto" by big-band maestro Harry James - which lasts all of three jazzy minutes - and, inspired by Haydn's Concerto in E-flat major, a brief solo improvisation by Lucienne herself. "The concertos I've chosen are part of me", she says. "They've always been with me and today I perform them regularly in concert... Getting to record this album with the fantastic Lucerne Symphony Orchestra and Michael Sanderling is a dream come true".
