 | | Description: | The trumpet can be traced back for almost 4000 years in many cultures and more than any other musical instrument it is surrounded by the aura of something special: it was the signal giver at ritual, religious, military or royal state occasions. The sound of the trumpet is still ambivalent today: even where it presents itself as sweet, it always resonates with a near-death shaking that can also become infernal and violent at any time. This sound remains connected with cosmic, divine or at least princely royal attitude. Reinhold Friedrich is one of the most uncompromising artists in this field. He is one of the world's leading trumpeters - sometimes celebrated in the press as the "Trumpet God" - and impresses with a breathtaking variety of repertoire: whether classical valve trumpet, whether the high piccolo trumpet, natural trumpet, historical keyed trumpet, whether with the Jewish shofar or the softer flugelhorn, - his playing always becomes that event which is then able to provoke reactions ranging from goose bumps to a mental flight of fancy. Whether a complex score of new music, whether baroque music and virtuoso classical music or "just" a little melody of folk music: Reinhold Friedrich always knows how to create with his playing that overwhelming presence of "Now!", which characterizes the trumpet so uniquely... He is joined by equally exposed masters of their craft: solo trumpeter Hannes Läubin, long associated with Reinhold Friedrich as an equal duo partner and friend, and "Grisha" Gregory Ahss, whose violin playing displays a similar stylistic breadth ranging from classical virtuosity to melodically heart-warming emotionality. This distinctive sound college is rounded off by the Munich Symphony Orchestra / Münchner Symphoniker, conducted by Martín Baeza-Rubio, which is as colorful as it is sensitive."The Art of Trumpet" on CD brings together the world-renowned trumpet virtuoso Reinhold Friedrich and the Münchner Symphoniker in an inspiring portrait of the instrument's expressive range. This album focuses on the art of trumpet playing in all its facets: from noble, cantabile lines and radiant fanfares to delicate, chamber-like passages full of color and nuance. The carefully chosen repertoire (not detailed here) places the trumpet alternately in the spotlight and in a refined orchestral context, allowing the listener to experience both the instrument's heroic brilliance and its lyrical, almost vocal character. Clear, spacious sound engineering highlights the subtle interplay between soloist and orchestra, making this CD ideal both for focused listening and as an impressive introduction to high-level trumpet artistry. "The Art of Trumpet" is aimed at lovers of classical brass music as well as listeners who want to discover how multifaceted and sophisticated the trumpet can be in a symphonic setting.
Reinhold Friedrich is regarded as one of the leading classical trumpeters of his generation, known for his stylistic breadth, technical mastery, and intense musicality.
