Jouko Harjanne began studying the trumpet as a 7-year-old, and four
years later he became a pupil of Raimo Sarmas. In 1982, Harjanne
passed his diploma work with the highest possible grade. He then
continued his studies under the direction of two international
specialists, Henri Adelbrecht and Timofei Dokshitser.
Between 1978 and 1984, Harjanne was alternate lead trumpeter with the
Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra; since 1984 he has been a solo
trumpeter with the Radio Symphony Orchestra in Helsinki. Harjanne has
played chamber music in many brass and chamber ensembles, including
the Finnish Brass Ensemble, the Brasstime Quartet and the Protoventus
Ensemble.
Jouko Harjanne's international career has been enhanced by many
competition successes, the most important being second place in the
Prague Spring Trumpet Series in 1987, and first place in the Ellsworth
Smith Trumpet Competition, organised by the International Trumpet
Guild in 1990. In l989 he was presented with the Brass Player of the
Year award at the Lieksa Brass Week, Finland's most important brass
event. Harjanne is now the artistic director of the festival. He has
also been much in demand as a player in international brass events.
Harjanne's solo performances abroad have extended as far as Russia,
Japan, Repuplic of Korea and the USA, as well as Scandinavia and other
parts of Europe.
Harjanne's career received an additional boost by his performing and
recording in England with soprano Dame Kiri Te Kanawa in December
l994, and by his performance, to great success, of Rodion Schedrin's
new trumpet concertos European premiere in Moscow in autumn 1995.
Harjanne has made numerous solo recordings. In addition to recording
the standard repertoire, Harjanne has gained a reputation for the
recording of what are considered the trumpet's most difficult works
(e.g. the Zimmermann, Gruner and Jolivet concertos). In addition to
his recordings, he has performed in numerous productions for radio and
TV.
Harjanne has justifiably elevated the status of his instrument as a
versatile solo instrument by playing in his recitals and recordings
works extending from the gems of classical music to the extremes of
the contemporary. Harjanne has successfully premiered several Finnish
and international works for the trumpet. Many composers have also
dedicated works to him. His solo performances and recordings have been
conducted by many internationally renowned conductors, including
Baumgartner, Kamu, Kadhize, Miller, Oramo,Panula, Salonen, Saraste and
Segerstam.
At the age of 26, Jouko Harjanne began teaching at the Sibelius
Academy in Helsinki; he has also held a number of master classes in
Finland and abroad.
Harjanne has been characterised as one of the greatest talents of his
generation. The professional music press has ranked Harjanne among the
elite class of international soloists. As the International Trumpet
Guild (ITG) Journal wrote in September 1991: "Jouko Harjanne's concert
was really astonishing! It would have been astonishing enough that
both parts of the programme were of equal length. But while the first
half was dominated by tone and phrasing, the latter part was a truly
grandiloquent masterpiece of tonal breadth and stamina." Kevin
Eisensmith wrote in ITG Journal after Harjanne's recital in ITG
conference Fort Worth Texas 2003: "HarjanneÆs performance did not
include the highest or loudest trumpet playing of the week, but it was
certainly the most musical. His sense of phrasing and beautiful, full
sound is worthy of imitation by all trumpet players. In the words of
my students, he "Threw Down!" High praise indeed!"
