Friday Virtuoso
"A phenomenon." "The Caruso of the trumpet." "The Paganini of the trumpet." "This kid has the chops." The accolades are for Classical Collection's Friday Virtuoso, Sergei Nakariakov, and they're richly deserved. Signed to his first record deal at the age of 14, the Russian-born trumpeter combines deep musicality with a technique that defies belief. As one US reviewer said, "There really isn't enough solo trumpet repertoire to reward an artistic gift like this. No problem ... Nakariakov has simply moved into the string repertoire and made it his own." Today, we'll hear him in one of those string transcriptions - Saint-Saens' Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, originally written for violin and orchestra. Nakariakov is accompanied by the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by fellow Russian Vladimir Ashkenazy.
