BRSO: Andris Nelsons & BRSO Brass
Please note the program change: Instead of the originally planned program featuring works by Takemitsu, Shostakovich, and Tomasi, works by Carlos Simon and Bernd Alois Zimmermann will be performed.
During the pandemic, an exquisite brass ensemble from the ranks of the BRSO performed an all-brass programme to an empty Herkulessaal. BRSO brass revives this idea in the new season with a matinee dedicated to the concert literature for horn, trumpet, trombone and tuba.

Håkan Hardenberger’s teacher in Paris used to say that two lifetimes would not be enough to master the trumpet. Nevertheless, the Swedish soloist succeeded in doing so, and so well that the New York Times dubbed him the „best trumpeter in the galaxy.“ With Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s trumpet concerto, he presents an astonishing work that combines jazz, twelve-tone technique, grand symphonic music, and spirituals. Other delights of the concert evening under Andris Nelsons include Carlos Simon’s dance-like orchestral study „Four Black American Dances“, Richard Strauss’s cheeky symphonic poem „Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks“ and Maurice Ravel’s surging Viennese grotesque „La valse“.
