Mozart's Oboe Quartet in F major. Next we meet the Armenian Arno Babadjanjan, who in 1952 wrote his dramatically intense Piano Trio in F-sharp minor, which immediately won him a place on the Soviet music scene. And then we finish with a rousing New Year's gift in the form of OS' trumpet section in a medley that unites the many faces of the trumpet: from Britten's sharp fanfares, via Nordic elegance in Sehested, to Bellstedt's lively variations on Napoli (known under the title Funiculì, Funiculà), H. P. Nielsen's festive march De to trompeter, swinging jazzy energy in Strayhorn's Take the A Train, and humour and a twinkle in the eye in Leroy Anderson's Bugler’s Holiday. The trumpet as soloist, storyteller and showman in one concert! Programme: W.A. Mozart: Oboe Quartet in F major, K. 370 Arno Babadjanjan: Piano Trio in F-sharp minor B.
