Trumpeter Wilmer Wise writes about the Haydn Trumpet Concerto:

I thought I performed the Haydn in 1963………..well, it was a long time ago! I had no idea that the work had never been performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Wilmer Wise forwards this note by Christopher H. Gibbs:

Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto was first performed by The Philadelphia Orchestra on a Student Concert in March 1962; Wilmer Wise was the soloist, and senior student audition winner, and William Smith conducted. The first subscription performances were with Gilbert Johnson and Eugene Ormandy, in October 1967. Most recently it was performed at the Mann Center in July 1984, with Wynton Marsalis and Charles Dutoit.

The Orchestra recorded the Concerto in 1967 for CBS, with Johnson and Ormandy (currently available on Sony Classical’s Essential Classics, #SBK 62649).  The Concerto runs approximately 15 minutes in performance and is scored for an orchestra of two flutes, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings, in addition to the solo trumpet.
