Brahms' Horn Trio (Op. 40) composed in 1865 belongs to the most important and pivotal chamber music works of his entire output and has been recorded by the Munich Horn Trio exactly as he wanted to hear it: using historical instruments dating from the time of its composition!
Julian Riem plays on a perfectly restored Bechstein piano made in 1862, Johannes Dengler uses a reconstruction of an 1803 Halari natural horn and Markus Wolf has at his disposal a Stradivarius made in 1722.

I write for the public at large. Music that doesn’t come from the heart is no music at all." Henri Tomasi

"… with the musicians on an equal level with each other, the young wind players passed around themes, subsidiary themes, garlands and fragments of rhythm among each other, like a juggling act: technically brilliant, precise and with great musical savvy. …"
“When putting together one’s debut CD, the question that quickly comes up is what pieces to record. What we wanted to do was to present very high quality works which were rarely played, but which at the same time would enable us to accentuate the strong points of our ensemble. ..."

Forgotten songs |

Klaus Mertens, Baritone
Gitti Pirner, Piano
18 songs, 4 songs without words, and one character piece |
|
|

"This project was most appealing to Gitti and myself. We were aware of the existence, albeit fragmental, of some unpublished songs, but we were absolutely astonished when as a result of the complete Mendelssohn Edition a entirely new volume of Lieder came to light. We played and sang through the works with great enthusiasm and the thrill that comes from exploring, selected some of them, and took great joy in recording the ones we had chosen." Klaus Mertens

Recommended from Tutti magazine: 10/10 - Tutti ovation and from ResMusica.com - La Clef
"… With the Missa Solemnis neither passion nor wild concepts of interpretation can do it any harm. Enoch zu Guttenberg has both of these at his command. … We haven’t heard this piece sound so vivacious and crystal clear for a long time. Roaring ovations."
Ludwig van Beethoven himself called the Missa Solemnis his most complete work – and yes, the composition still ranks among the most popular works in the occidental art genre. …
