Moscow's beautiful new Zaryadye Concerthall was the venue for two recordings in Moscow with pianist Jae-Hyuck Cho
Moscow's beautiful new Zaryadye Concerthall was the venue for two recordings in Moscow with pianist Jae-Hyuck Cho, trumpet soloist Paul Merkelo, and Maestro Hans Graf conducting the Russian National Orchestra. Jae-Hyuck Cho recorded Rachmaninoff's Piano Concertos 2 and 3 along with Shostakovich's 1st Piano Concerto in a version with an extended trumpet part inspired by the transcription of legendary Russian trumpeter Timofei Dokschitzer, played by Paul Merkelo. Merkelo also recorded Aratunian's Trumpet Concerto and the concerto of Mieczyslaw Weinberg. We were honored that the composer's widow, Mrs Olga Weinberg, was in the hall for the sessions. Michael Fine produced the sessions with Erdo Groot, engineer. (Photograph by Sergei Tischenko) -

The soloists were Leanna Renfro, Lorraine Duso Kitts, and Beth Wheeler. You can hear the performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=J48_LtaG84k. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette wrote: 'Michael Fine's Concerto for Oboe Section and String Orchestra -- a work suggested to the composer by Mann and receiving its first public performance with the ASO -- displayed the virtuosity of the orchestra's three accomplished oboists, Leanna Renfro, Lorraine Duso Kitts and Beth Wheeler (who also did double-duty at times on the English horn).The three-movement concerto grosso also highlighted the lush sinuosity of the ASO string section, which continually engaged in collaborative interplay with the oboists. Fine's bright, accessible composition led the superbly balanced players from a yearningly nostalgic beginning through a lilting larghetto to delightful pizzicato-punctuated dance rhythms.'The music is available at https://webshop.donemus.nl/
