On this new album, the trumpeter joins his brass ensemble and organist Christian Schmitt in a wide-ranging program. The instruments of the musicians ring out in triumphal tones, brilliantly nuanced, capturing the joy and splendor of the Christmas festival. There are works by Albinoni, Handel, Vivaldi, Morales and Scheidt, along with arrangements by Peter Lawrence, Nikolaus Herman and Matthias Hfs himself. In this programme, Matthias Hfs appears with a variety of ensemble formations, whether with trumpet quartet, with horn, trombone and tuba, or with bassoon, harpsichord and organ - amply portraying the differing characteristics of the instruments and their richness of timbre. The sensitivity with which the musicians listen to one another, for fine shading of the interpretation, creates an atmosphere of touching intimacy, of concentration on the heart of the Christmas message: Unto us a child is born. Hfs aims to convey the German tradition as such, both in sound and style: \"In the age of globalization, in which everything is geared to international exchange, I should like to make my contribution to the preservation of this typical sound and culture.\" The program reflects his wish.","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52235380359399,"sku":"BLN301802.2","price":27.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/products\/albinoni-hofs-festive-trumpets-for-christmas-music-cd","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
