Pictures at an Exhibition with Hardenberger

Håkan Hardenberger - conductor and trumpet, Timothy Lines - conductor, RCM Symphony Orchestra, Mark-Anthony Turnage's Dispelling the Fears. Folke Rabe's Sardine Sarcophagus. Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. Described as ’the best trumpet player in the galaxy’ by The Times, Håkan Hardenberger returns to the Royal College of Music to perform two virtuosic and evocative concertos alongside RCM trumpeters. Mark-Anthony Turnage’s Dispelling the Fears takes its inspiration from a painting by Heather Betts, which plays on darkness and light, while a rhythmic and vast work by RCM alumnus Folke Rabe evokes the empty factory that houses Bergen's Music Factory Festival. Alongside, the RCM Symphony Orchestra explores Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, featuring the unforgettable melodies of ’The Great Gate of Kiev’.
