Hessischer Rundfunk

This performance by five brilliant brass players from the ranks of the hr Symphony Orchestra brings together music from America and Central Europe—including one of the best-known works in the classical repertoire, presented in a refined arrangement. Performed with virtuosity, rich tone, and entertainment value: a brass piece turned into a brass party!

The program opens with Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, offering a striking glimpse into the Baroque era. Fred Mills’ arrangement lends the work a new timbre with radiant brass brilliance. Kurt Schwertsik then combines musical tradition and the present with subtle humor. Kerry Turner’s “Ricochet” captivates with rhythmic energy, technical brilliance, and American brass culture. Enrique Crespo’s “Suite Americana No. 1” provides a colorful finale: dance-like rhythms and folkloric influences from the New World make for a rousing chamber concert.

Featuring: Blechpartie, Frankfurt Radio Brass: Sebastian Berner (trumpet), Jón Vielhaber (trumpet), Maciej Baranowski (horn), Norwin Hahn (trombone), Ole Heiland (tuba).
