Musical Friendships
Shostakovich described his friend Mieczysław Weinberg's trumpet concerto as a »symphony with a trumpet«. Since the latter had sent the Russian composer his first symphony, he was not only supported by him, but an intimate friendship developed between the two, who from then on inspired each other musically. Håkan Hardenberger, whom the Times once called »the best trumpeter in the galaxy«, interprets this trumpet concerto, which is full of wit and musical quotations, under the baton of the trained trumpeter Andris Nelsons. The programme also includes Shostakovich's mocking Ninth Symphony and Dvořák's Sixth, composed for the Vienna Philharmonic in 1880.
