Soloists Anima Eterna Brugge, One instrument, two worlds: romantic chamber music for

The horn underwent a thorough makeover in the 19th century. For centuries, the instrument produced only natural tones, but the valve horn brought radical change in the 1830s. Suddenly all chromatic notes were accessible, new sound colors and repertoire possibilities arose. With the choice of natural horn as protagonist in his Horn Trio, opus 40, Brahms swam deliberately against the current; the subdued, almost melancholic sound fit better with the intimate interaction between the three instruments he had in mind. Carl Reinecke did write his Horn Trio and Nocturne for the valve horn. Here both types sound, so that you can experience the contrast yourself. The program of violinist Midori Seiler, horn player Pierre-Antoine Tremblay and keyboard specialist Edoardo Torbianelli connects three musicians from the Leipzig music scene: Reinecke, Brahms and also Clara Schumann – top pianist, composer of the first rank and key figure in the chamber music scene of the Gründerzeit.
