Amilcare Ponchielli's wind concertos number among the most virtuosic works of the romantic era. He distinguished himself with successful pieces for concertante winds during the mid-nineteenth century, and in every measure one hears that this Italian actually felt called to become a music dramatist. The Mecklenburg State Orchestra of Schwerin and the soloists Giuliano Sommerhalder, Roland Fröscher, and Simone Sommerhalder present us his concertos for trumpet, euphonium, and oboe in a swift parforce chase.
