Greull/Huh/Janke - From Beethoven to Present - The Sound of the Horn

Mischa Greul feels connected to the Horn Trio by Johannes Brahms in many ways. As a little boy, he used to be quite at home in the Brahmshaus, which was Brahms�s place of residence in R�schlikon at Lake Zurich in the summer of 1874. During his childhood, it was where his grandparents lived, and their pride in living in such a historic house was passed on to him. Before becoming a member of the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra, he lived in Baden-Baden where Brahms composed his Opus 40, which has become a constant part of Mischa Greul�s repertoire. Beethoven�s Opus 17 sonata for piano and horn could be interpreted as the dialogue of a married couple. Schumann�s Adagio and Allegro Opus 70 is all about the fusion of sound. For many horn players it is considered a unique jewel of the horn repertoire. The Air for solo horn by J�rg Widmann is Greul�s latest discovery, according to the composer a 'piece of nature about closeness and distance'.
