The great virtuoso trumpeter John Wallace and Principal of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama directs the principal brass players of the Philharmonia Orchestra together with some of Scotland’s finest young talent in a programme that encompasses the pageantry and splendour of brass, culminating in Elgar Howarth’s renowned transcription of Mussorgsky’s towering masterpiece. The young German trumpeter Paul Hübner won the Marek Stachowski Award for his interpretation of Hanna Kulenty’s Brass No. I for Double Bell Trumpet – a rare chance to hear this dazzling work for a unique and extraordinary instrument.
