In 2024, he caused a sensation with Brahms and Ligeti. Ben Goldscheider is now returning to Heidelberg with a program rich in associations. The selection of works not only illuminates the timbre and flair of his instrument, but also its symbolic ambiguity. Jörg Widmann's "Air" is an aria made of air. Fascinating illusions of proximity and distance are created using natural tone rows. Mozart's horn quintet, rarely heard in concert, and his best-known concerto for the instrument stand for the emancipation of the horn player as a soloist. But it is not far from Schumann's French horn romanticism to Widmann's sadistic hunt - and to Mark Simpson's nocturnal shiver.
There will be a public rehearsal for this concert at 11 am. Further information and free tickets are available here.
