Transcription for Flugelhorn and Piano
As performed by Sergei Nakariakov – Transcribed by Isaias Jiménez
Discover Reinhold Glière's lush Horn Concerto in B-flat, Op. 91—his only concerto for a brass instrument and one of the great masterpieces of the late Romantic repertoire. This original arrangement for flugelhorn and piano is inspired by the celebrated performance of Sergei Nakariakov, whose interpretation revealed how naturally this concerto flourishes on the flugelhorn.
Originally composed for French horn, the concerto's soaring melodies, rich lyricism, and heroic character are beautifully complemented by the warm, expressive voice of the flugelhorn. This transcription faithfully preserves the musical integrity of Glière's original while thoughtfully adapting the solo part for the instrument's unique range, articulation, and expressive qualities.
