The Flugelhorn

Nakariakov also has made several recordings performing on the flugelhorn. In his album ''Concertos for Trumpet'' in 1999, Nakariakov plays music transcribed for the trumpet from violin, viola, and cello concertos. He plays the flugelhorn for the famous Cello Concerto No. 1 by Haydn. In his album ''No Limit'' in 2000, Nakariakov plays Tchaikovsky's '' Variations on a Rococo Theme'', originally for cello and orchestra, in a transcription for the flugelhorn. Nakariakov plays on a specially customized flugelhorn made by Antoine Courtois that has 4 valves, allowing him to play lower than normal flugelhorns.
