The Last Sorcerer - NOSPR
The Last Sorcerer
Over the last two centuries, wind instruments were pushed into the background of classical music by strings, which were considered “nobler”. The trumpet is troubled by the stereotype of a “signal” instrument, even though, after all, it would still sing so beautifully in the baroque era. Maybe it is this tradition that the British composer Dani Howard will reference; certainly, we are going to hear the trumpet singing in the lyrical and elevated Legende by George Enescu.
Matilda Lloyd has actually sang an entire album with arrangements of operatic arias – it is a must-listen! One of the pieces to be found there is the Song of the rain by Chopin’s friend, the singer and composer Pauline Viardot, taken from her opera The Last Sorcerer. In her Katowice concert, the trumpeter will return to Paris, reaching for arrangements of the well-known works of Debussy and Ravel, as well as for the proud Intrada by Arthur Honegger, in which the trumpet presents itself to us without even the slightest complexes.
