My Take

Hardenberger is, to my mind, one of those rare instrumentalists who didn't just master his horn but expanded what people thought it could do. A Malmö-born Swede now teaching at the Malmö Academy of Music, he's collected serious honors from the Royal Philharmonic Society Award to Litteris et Artibus. But the real measure of him is how many living composers have written concertos specifically for him. That makes him a co-author of the modern trumpet repertoire, not just a performer of it. I find that kind of quiet, generation-defining devotion to a single instrument genuinely moving.
