Programme:
Tubin “Suite on Estonian Motifs” ETW 13
Tamberg. Trumpet Concerto No. 1 Op. 42
Tubin. Symphony No. 2 (Legendary)

Eduard Tubin’s first major orchestral work is akin to a “medal warning” in sports. Utilizing composition techniques developed in his songs and piano music, the 25-year-old Tubin ventures into his beloved domain—orchestral music—and achieves a remarkable, p result on his first attempt. Over the following years, Tubin fulfills his “medal expectations”, with his Symphony No. 2 serving as the best evidence of his success.

Eino Tamberg’s Trumpet Concerto features the talented American jazz trumpeter Charlie Porter as soloist. The concerto stands out as one of the most brilliant instrumental concertos in Estonian music. Both Tubin and Tamberg also faced similar choices in their careers, with Tamberg also having tickets to “Triina”…
