This is a collection of music pieces which appear in a different sound combination as these were initially composed. Very interesting arrangements for horn with strings or piano or organ.
The vienerse composer Werner Pelinka accompanies his horn concerto "Concerto for Jon" on the piano. It could not be more original. The whole programe shows pieces in which a composer wrote horn music for remembering an ealier colleague (e.g. Anton Bruckner for Richard Wagner, etc.)
Johan Straus`s famous waltz "Wine, woman and song" in a version for horn and piano, the CD presents pieces ranging from Mozart`s 1st horn concerto to Gershwin`s "Rhapsody in blue" for horn and piano or piano solo. Speciality : 2nd movement for Tschikowsky`s 5th symphony (with the famous horn solo) just for horn and piano!
The famous opera singer Rudolf Holtenau presents 8 arias from his repertory, accompanied by horn(obligato) and piano! (specially arranged for this CD).
