Trumpet - Timofei Dokshizer Conductor - Gennady Cherkasov Orchestra - Symphony Orchestra of the USSR All-State Radio Iosif Andriasov - Trumpet Concerto, Op. 14 for Trumpet & Symphony Orchestra Iosif Andriasov composed the Concerto for Trumpet and Symphony Orchestra in 1960, while in his second year (fourth semester) at the Moscow Conservatory, Moscow, USSR. He wrote the Concerto amazingly fast, in one week, and then worked on refining this composition. The world premiere of the Concerto was given by the Symphony Orchestra of the USSR All-State Radio and Television under Maestro Vladimir Yesipov, with soloist Yuri Usov, in 1962, at the Grand Concert Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. The Author's transcription of the Concerto for Trumpet and Piano was published by "Muzyka" International publishing house, Moscow, in 1969. In the 1970s, Timofey Dokshitzer (trumpet), one of the most outstanding trumpet virtuosi of the XXth century, recorded the Concerto for the "Melodya" label, with the Symphony Orchestra of the USSR All-State Radio under Maestro Gennady Cherkasov. In the annotation to this recording, Alexander Medvedev, musicologist, emphasized "the magnificent polyphonic effects, extraordinary orchestral colors." This recording was broadcast in the USSR, Europe, and the United States (Radio station WQXR, New York City). The Concerto has been performed by many soloists in the former USSR, Germany, and in the USA. excerpt from "Essays on the Music of Iosif Andriasov" by Marta Andriasova (Marina Kudryashova) (Wife of Iosif Andriasov) Copyright 2010.
