The Orchestra’s principal trumpet Michael Sachs deserves primary credit, supplying as he did a whole summer’s worth of pyrotechnics in a single trumpet concerto.
Woodwind solos by Jessica Sindell , Afendi Yusuf , and Monica Fosnaugh , embarked on distinct sonic journeys but, as guided by Hindoyan, also amalgamated into an enhanced whole. The central section features a sultry, sinuous melody for muted trumpet which sounds like out-of-tune Armenian blues. The trumpeter dashed through the final cadenza with its tricky double tonguing passages, and before you knew it, the piece was finished. A loud “bravo!” shouted from the audience said what we were all thinking.
Saturday’s performance was distinguished by Hindoyan’s wonderful alertness to the work’s many changes of mood and tempo. Throughout, the conductor took Rachmaninoff’s directions seriously — pointing up every ritard, acceleration, and rubato.
