Hochgelobter Star-Trompeter Gábor Boldoczki wieder in Wien zu hören
Gábor Boldoczki, Fixstern der internationalen Trompeterszene, wird am 12. September 2016
zum ersten Mal die eigene Bearbeitung eines wunderbaren Hornkonzertes von W.A. Mozart in
Wien präsentieren. Zusätzlich bringt der virtuose Musiker ein ihm gewidmetes
Trompetenkonzert von Krzysztof Penderecki (u.a. mitbeauftragt von der Sinfonietta
Cracovia) zur Wiener Erstaufführung.
Jurek Dybał, Mitglied der Wiener Philharmoniker und anerkannter Dirigent, der bereits mit
namhaften Orchestern (u.a. Wiener Kammerorchester, Wiener Concertverein, Orchestre
Philharmonique du Monte Carlo, Tschechisches National-Symphonieorchester) arbeitete, wird
das Eliteorchester der polnischen Kulturhauptstadt Krakau, seine Sinfonietta Cracovia,
vorstellen. Das Orchester, das vor fast 25 Jahren von Krzysztof Penderecki ins Leben gerufen
wurde, hat bereits mit Größen wie Lorin Maazel, Valery Gergiev und Rudolf Buchbinder
gearbeitet.
Am Programm stehen Musikstücke voll slawischen Flairs: u.a. Dvořáks Neunte Symphonie
und Szymanowskis romantische Etüde. Die Premiere und Signierung einer neuen Platte mit
Trompetenkonzerten von Arutunian, Fazil Say und Penderecki, die befreundete Künstler mit der
Krakauer Sinfonietta für Sony Classical aufgenommen haben, werden den Abend noch reizvoller
machen.

Sinfonietta Cracovia’s Austrian turnée
Sinfonietta Cracovia has a pleasure to announce its upcoming performance in one of the
most renowned European concert halls: the famous Wiener Konzerthaus.
On September 12 th (19:00) the orchestra will join on stage the famous Hungarian trumpet virtuoso Gábor
Boldoczki – while performing highly diversified, unique program under the baton of the chief
conductor Jurek Dybał.
The evening’s repertoire will include outstanding works of composers from the Central and Eastern Europe region, showcasing their distinctive yet multifarious characteristics: the particularly captivating Slavic flair. Guests will have an opportunity to admire the bravura performances of Franciszek Lessel’s Overture in G minor, Karol Szymanowski’s romantic Etude in B-flat minor and the famous Ninth Symphony From the New World by Antonín Dvořák.
The evening will be honored by the Viennese premiere of Krzysztof Penderecki’s Concertino
per tromba e orchestra, who will attend the concert himself. The brilliant composition of the
Polish Maestro – which was co-commissioned by the Sinfonietta Cracovia – was written
specifically for Boldoczki, who was involved personally in the process of the pieces
development. The concert will also feature the premiere performance of Boldoczki’s
transcription of Mozart’s Concerto for horn and orchestra.
The Viennese concert promotes the new album recorded by Boldoczki and Sinfonietta
Cracovia for the prestigious Sony Classical label entitled Oriental Trumpet Concertos.
Beside aforementioned Penderecki’s Concertino it features trumpet concerto written and dedicated
to Boldoczki by the Turkish composer Fazil Say – whose work is considered to be one of the
greatest discoveries of the recent years – and the trumpet concerto by one of the most
superb Armenian composers, Alexander Arutiunian.
The new CD will be signed by Gábor Boldoczki and Jurek Dybał right after the performance.
The concert will be preceded by an original and unconventional artistic venture – which is
usually the case for the vast majority of Sinfonietta’s projects.
At 14:00, just a few hours before the performance in Konzerthaus, Viennese Atelier Suterena will host a special meeting with Professor Krzysztof Penderecki, Gábor Boldoczki and Jurek Dybał, during which
the artists will discuss the upcoming concert and future joint projects while elaborating on
the topic of the culture- and community-shaping functions of art and its potential / impact in
terms of the social bonding. The unusual press conference will be accompanied by the
intermedial performance of Sinfonietta Cracovia’s chamber players, who will play
Penderecki’s String Quartet no. 2 and recognized artist Olga Georgieva, who will carry out a
large-format live painting session inspired by the colored manuscripts of the famous Polish
composer.
