Conductor Giancarlo Guerrero is on a mission with the Nashville Symphony to expand the contemporary American concerto repertoire. Each of the three works on their new release spotlights a different facet of the relatively underexplored brass instrument family. Brad Warnaar’s Cornet Concerto is a witty and heartfelt homage to the rich heritage of 19th-century band music. Chick Corea’s Trombone Concerto, his final completed composition, fuses lyricism, jazz spontaneity, and orchestral drama. Jennifer Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto — commissioned by Chciago Symphony Orchestra — honors the spirit of this orchestral section in a majestic single movement. The elite soloists for this recording are trumpeter José Sibaja, an acclaimed performer across the spectrum of classical, Latin, jazz, and pop musical genres; and Joseph Alessi, a longtime trombonist with the New York Philharmonic.
