Description

The repertoire of Albrecht Mayer's ‘Song of the Reeds’ celebrates the Romantic tradition of the instrument with Schuman's popular “Three Romances” and works by contemporaries of Brahms and Liszt composed for Mayer's instrument: Heinrich Herzogenberg's “Trio for Oboe, Horn, and Piano” and August Klughardt's five fantasy pieces “Schilflieder (Song of the Reeds) for Oboe, Viola, and Piano”.

Albrecht is joined here by viola player Tabea Zimmermann, horn player Marie-Luise Neunecker, and by Markus Becker at the piano, “unbeatable as a virtuoso, a musical soul painter with great understanding” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung).

The album title is taken from the work by Klughardt and acknowledges the longing of Romantic music, the acclaimed vocal tone of Albrecht's playing, and the reed which gives his instrument its unique voice.
