Håkan Hardenberger has not only had an illustrious career as a trumpet soloist, he's also re-defined the role of the trumpet as an important solo instrument. Throughout his career, he's been responsible for the commissioning of major contemporary composers, which has had a profound effect on not only our generation, but future generations as well. I met Håkan early on when he was a student of Bo Nilsson, and a few years later he stayed with me for three of the weeks while he studied with Tom Stevens in Los Angeles. So it was a great pleasure and honor to have the chance to speak with him again.
In Part 1 of our conversation, I ask Håkan to talk about his three primary teachers - Bo Nilsson, Pierre Thibaud, and Thomas Stevens. We discuss what he learned from all three and the profound influence they had on him.
