SELINA OTT plays Trumpet Concertos

ARUTIUNIAN • PESKIN • DESENCLOS

Selina Ott was the first woman in the Munich ARD International Music Competition’s 70⁠-⁠year history to be awarded First Prize in the trumpet category, in September 2018 and at the age of only 20. She was subsequently invited to perform with leading orchestras such as the WDR Symphony Orchestra, the Tonkünstler⁠-⁠Orchester Niederösterreich and the Czech Philharmonic, and at international festivals.
On her debut album with the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra under Roberto Paternostro, the young artist presents an exciting selection from the opulent range of 20th⁠-⁠century trumpet concertos that were written in close succession: the frequently performed concerto by Arutiunian and the much rarer first concerto by Vladimir Peskin are accompanied by a charming work by French composer Alfred Desenclos, offering a marked contrast to the two Soviet concertos.
Selina Ott says that the concerto by Desenclos ‘is really my favourite piece’. She performed it in the first round of the ARD International Music Competition in 2018, where she ultimately won the First Prize.
