Info for Hommage! C.P.E. Bach Sonaten (bearb. für Trompete)

“Hommage!” heißt die Einspielung, mit der die drei Musiker den “Hamburger Bach” anlässlich seines 300. Geburtstags würdigen. Dazu haben Sie aus dem reichen kammermusikalischen Fundus Carl Philipp Emanuel Bachs ein breites Spektrum ausgewählt. Die Werke – von den Sonaten für Flöte und obligates Cembalo, H. 542.5; BWV 1020 / Anh. III 184 und Es-Dur BWV 1031 über die Sonate für Flöte und Basso Continuo B-Dur, Wq. 125; H. 552 bis hin zu den kleinen Sonaten für Cembalo, Klarinette und Fagott, Wq. 92 – gewinnen in der vorliegenden Adaption eine faszinierende, neue Farbigkeit und man nimmt erstaunt wahr, wie anpassungsfähig eine moderne Piccolo-Trompete mit einem Cembalo kommunizieren kann, und welch glückliche Klangkombinationen mit einem zusätzlichen Continuo-Fagott erreicht werden.

Mit “Trompete” und “Bach” bringt man in der Regel die barocken Werke Johann Sebastian Bachs in Verbindung, in denen das Instrument mit seinem glanzvollen und festlichen Klang eine prominente Rolle spielt. Wie gut sich die moderne Piccolo-Trompete jedoch auch für die im empfindsamen Stil komponierte Kammermusik von Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach eignet, wenn sich instrumentale Meisterschaft und musikalisches Einfühlungsvermögen mit einer beseelten und persönlichen Spielweise verbinden, zeigt Matthias Höfs auf seiner ersten Einspielung für das Label ES-DUR. Mit Wolfgang Zerer, Cembalo und Christian M. Kunert, Fagott stehen ihm dabei zwei herausragende Künstlerpersönlichkeiten als Musizierpartner zur Seite.

Matthias Höfs, Trompete

Matthias Höfs
By the age of six, Matthias Höfs declared the trumpet his instrument, “because it shines so nicely”. He received his musical education from Professor Peter Kallensee at Hamburg University of Music and Theatre, as well as from Professor Konradin Groth at the Karajan Academy of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Just being eighteen years old, Höfs was already engaged as solo-trumpeter at the Philharmonic State Orchestra in Hamburg, where he enjoyed the fascinating world of opera for sixteen years. At the same time, Höfs became a member of the GERMAN BRASS Ensemble, with whom he continues to achieve worldwide successes. Since their first joint concert in 1985, he has been writing costumized and innovative arrangements for his colleagues and himself, which span more than one genre and continue to inspire the world of brass. Matthias Höfs always proved to be a pioneering spirit by consistently widening the horizon of his instrument. These continuous developments are encouraged by a close cooperation with other composers, who feel themselves inspired by his incomparable virtuosity and joy of experimentation. Additionally inspired by his position as “trumpet ambassador” in his home state Schleswig-Holstein in Northern Germany as well as the cooperation with the instrument makers Max and Heinrich Thein.

Starting in 2000, Matthias Höfs has been teaching as a Professor at Hamburg University of Music and Theatre, where he continues to inspire his students with enthusiasm, passion for his instrument, and great knowledge. In addition to his extensive concert performances as solo-trumpeter and chamber musician, Höfs recorded numerous solo-albums, as well as over twenty recordings with GERMAN BRASS.

This album contains no booklet.
