Here are four works for trumpet and orchestra all from the pre-Perestroika USSR.
The Arutyunian is a singularly attractive work dating from 1950. It is brilliant (as you would expect), languorously suggestive of warm summer nights in the Caucasus and, in places, a hair's breadth from Gershwin's blues. Those of you who may have heard the violin concerto this is a much more attractive work given a strapping performance and vivid recording. The big theme struts like a toreador.
The Variations are as strikingly memorable - a warm steady flow of orientally-accented lyricism alternates with ripe and pert virtuosity. There is none of the hieratic minimalism we get from Hovhaness whenever he is put near an orchestra and a trumpet. Philip Taylor's lucid and informative notes suggest parallels with Kabalevsky.
The Pakhmutova concerto is bright, eager, imaginative and not a moment too long.
Vainberg's concerto is again a work of technical challenge. It is more modernistic than the Arutyunian; rather like a Malcolm Arnold concerto but with a higher dosage of dissonance (nothing to frighten anyone off but noticeable all the same).
