In Reply to: Musical America's "Artist of the Year" for 2016: Yuja! posted by Chris from Lafayette on October 21, 2016 at 11:01:14:
The Shostakovich concertos call for a full string section, so it doesn't seem to fit. The Poulenc has a prominent trumpet part. There is even a suggested seating plan in the score to the Aubade. Obviously, they don't follow it completely, but it might fit what there is to see in the picture. FWIW, I like the piece a lot.
