Rouse, Tchaikovsky

Thursday, December 20, 2012

Principal Trumpet Christopher Martin premieres Christopher Rouse’s Heimdall’s Trumpet, his second major commission from the CSO. The Chicago Sun-Times says Martin "handles every mute swap, seemingly impossible high note, and lightning-fast passage as if he need never breathe..." Tchaikovsky's monumental Manfred Symphony portrays the brooding, tormented and troubled Romantic hero from Byron’s dramatic poem.
