german hornsound

GENUIN fans have already admired the horn playing skills of Christoph Eß on many occasions, including in the albums of german hornsound, the celebrated ensemble founded by Christoph Eß. Now the solo hornist of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra presents four effervescent, lively and soulful concertos by Mozart with the Folkwang Chamber Orchestra, perfectly laid out and light as a feather. With his colleagues from german hornsound, he plays "as an encore, so to speak" a quartet of Madsen with tongue-in-cheek and breathtaking virtuosity. Horn couldn't be better! Christoph Eß is considered today one of the leading hornists of his generation. In addition to his work as solo horn of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, he is a laureate of numerous international competitions and also appears as a sought-after soloist and chamber musician.
