Hello everyone! This week I'd like to introduce you to Matthias Höfs and some of his Berlins classics. Lets start with his arrangement of Handels Sonata in F Major for organ and piccolo trumpet.
Performed by Matthias Höfs and organit Christian Schmitt
Handels Sonata in F major was composed in 1712 for recorder and basso continuo. Interestingly during this period of his life he was living in London and wrote a total of six recorder sonatas.
Next lets listen to his recording of Oskar Böhmes piece titled Entsagung.
Performed by Matthias Höfs and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonic Bremen
Oskar Böhme wrote Entsagung for trumpet and piano accompianment around the 19th century among other works for cornet. Entsagung perfectly encapsulates the sorrow and longing felt by the composer throughout his hard life.
Thanks for listening, see you all next time!
