Programme 121 - The Tuba Moves from the Back Row to Centre Stage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Usually heard providing a powerful foundation from the back of the orchestra, the tuba rarely gets the chance to stand in the spotlight. In this programme, that changes. Discover an instrument capable of far more than weight and depth. The tuba can sing with warmth, move with astonishing agility, and even display a surprising sense of humour. Three very different concertos by Vaughan Williams, Alexander Arutiunian and John Williams reveal its remarkable range of colour and character. Then the or
Programme 120 The Trombone — Concertos Through the Centuries (opens the original)
Read excerpt
More Than Meets the Ear Bold, brilliant and unmistakable — but how well do we really know the trombone? Join Brian as we follow this remarkable instrument across more than two centuries, from the elegant alto trombone of Albrechtsberger to the dazzling virtuosity of the modern instrument. Along the way, discover how the slide really works, why a B-flat trombone doesn’t transpose like a B-flat trumpet, and hear just how lyrical, adventurous and agile the trombone can be. You may never hear it qui
Sundowner Programme 43 The Trombone Sings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This time, the trombone speaks for itself. It welcomes us, romances us and reveals its darker colours before the light returns. And if you thought an instrument with a long slide couldn’t dazzle with breathtaking virtuosity — think again! Ten short pieces reveal a trombone that can sing, dance, mourn, charm and astonish. Join Brian and discover just how many voices one instrument can have. Vittorio Monti – Csardas · Fritz Kreisler - Liebesleid · Carl Maria von Weber – Romance · Saverio Mercadant
Programme 119 — The Noble Horn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Concertos for French Horn Noble, heroic, lyrical — and sometimes surprisingly intimate. The French horn possesses one of the most distinctive voices in the orchestra. In The Noble Horn, Brian follows that voice through three remarkable concertos by Mozart, Franz Strauss and his son Richard Strauss. Beginning with the natural horn of Mozart's time and moving into the richer possibilities of the valved instrument, we hear more than a century of change — while discovering how remarkably constant th
Sundowner Programme 42 — The Horn Sings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This time we forget the hunting calls and heroic fanfares that the horn is so good at for a while. This time, we simply allow the horn to sing. Saint-Saëns, Glazunov, Franz and Richard Strauss, Glière and Schumann reveal the instrument at its warmest and most lyrical. Poulenc takes us into the darker world of his moving Élégie, before Dukas brings a welcome change of mood. And finally, Schubert's Auf dem Strom places the horn beside the human voice — bringing The Horn Sings to a particularly bea
