Music reviews of From Moscow With Love
Music Review: one of the best classical trumpet albums ever recorded
Rating: 4 Stars
While the music recorded here does not deserve mention alongside the trumpet concerti of Haydn and Hummel and the second Brandenburg concerto of Bach, nevertheless these are very good compositions, and not often heard. They'll add a good deal of depth to your collection, even if your interest is in classical orchestral music generally and not trumpet music specifically.
Nakariakov is an able virtuoso and he serves these pieces well. In my opinion, he elsewhere has devoted far too much of his efforts to impressive but superficial showpieces and transcriptions; this is one of the few of his albums of full length concert works from the trumpet repertoire. So while it is perhaps not as effective as other of his albums in terms of trumpet virtuosity for its own sake, in my estimation this is nevertheless his most sophisticated and aesthetically meaningful album and the greatest accomplishment of his career.
The Arutiunian concerto is a shorter, pleasingly tuneful work that strikes me as two parts Saint-Saëns, one part Russian modality. For as familiar as the piece is to trumpeters, it is unfortunately not often heard outside of their teaching studios. So while there is in fact not a great deal of competition, this is certainly the best recorded performance of the piece I've heard; and it would be hard to image a superior reading by any of the world's great trumpet virtuosi, for here we have a passionate, technically formidable performance, and by a Russian player to boot.
Many reviewers write of the Veinberg concerto as representative of the style of Shostakovich, but I think that comparison could only stand up in consideration of Shostakovich's most abstract, dissonant, experimental works: the Fourth Symphony, for example. To my mind this piece has far more in common with Bartók and Hindemith than with the large majority of Shostakovich. It's sparsely orchestrated and very dry, the full ensemble sounding only occasionally; and even then the writing is very lean, never approaching any sort of rich, sumptuous, Brahmsian sonority. The thematic material is highly absract (and this is rare for a trumpet concerto... the only other pieces I would consider assigning to the same category of expression would be those by Henri Thomasi).
In the Glière, a horn concerto played here on the flugelhorn, it's really surprising just how much Nakariakov sounds like a trombone player. It's a gorgeous and unique sound that he makes, lyrical and captivating. The piece comes out of the language of early Romanticism, recalling Schubert and Mendelssohn (as Glière had no intention of risking his life and career by adopting the dissonant, experimental language that got Shostakovich into so much trouble with the Soviets), but again with notes of a very Russian character, as with the other pieces on this album.
A real accomplishment for Nakariakov.
