„Italian Concertos” – Boldoczki Gábor, Szergej Nakarjakov és a Gabetta Consort

For most people, a single trumpet is all it takes to put them in a cheerful mood. Two trumpets at the same time? Now that’s a party! Gábor Boldoczki and Sergei Nakariakov arrive in mid-December bearing an ideally timed sonic gift in advance of the lights of the upcoming Christmas holiday. The evening will brim with the brilliance of the masterpieces of the Italian Baroque concerto repertoire. These include works by Vivaldi and Alessandro Marcello, which are sometimes played on two trumpets or even on two flugelhorns, in the same fashion that we will hear the two artists play the music of Geminiani, Locatelli, and Corelli, accompanied by the Gabetta Consort performing under the leadership of Andrés Gabetta. The internationally renowned Argentine/French violin ensemble has already enjoyed great success on its previous visits to Müpa Budapest, as have the two trumpet wizards. The latter pair took the stage of the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall together in 2023 to perform Fazil Say’s Double Concerto, which was written specifically for them.
