IKARUS. DESIRE FOR LIGHT Concerto for Piccolo Trumpet

The demanding Concerto thematises that path into the light which is reported with great consistency in all near-death experiences: the darkness gives way to a transition into a bright light and peace. What remains is the longing for the light. In the mythological figure of Icarus, this longing has become a symbol for us. The boundless light, however, is not granted to the mortal ego and must be paid for with real death: Icarus wanted to fly to the sun and freedom with the wings made by his father Daedalus, and paid for his longing with death. There is a wonderful CD-Version performed by Reinhold Friedrich (Trp), Münchner Symphoniker, conducted by Martín Baeza-Rubio.
REINHOLD FRIEDRICH - THE ART OF TRUMPET CD with works by Enjott Schneider

A very important CD release for me, because it presents - for the first time - Reinhold Friedrich, an excellent soloist, who is supported by congenial partners: Hannes Läubin (trumpet), Gregory Ahss (solo violin), Munich Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Martín Baeza-Rubio. Secondly, there are four special compositions of different character, - the double concerto VIVALDISSIMO with two trumpets chasing each other in a rush of sound, the double concerto ALTAI - TRACES FOR INFINITY with my Far Eastern longing (Central Asia, Siberia, China...) for an archaic world. ) for an archaic world, L'ANGELICA FARFALLA with "my" gems of early music, and finally IKARUS - DESIRE FOR THE LIGHT as an epic pictorial arc on the themes of "near-death experiences" and afterlife research, which have fascinated me for a long time. Thirdly, the "trumpet" was the first instrument of my musical education and still means a familiar timbre to me today. - On selected streaming platform you'll find a 3D-Mix DOLBY ATMOS in highest resolution. "THE ART OF TRUMPET" was nominated in November 2023 by the ICMA-Jury for "Best Album of the year" for the International Classical Award 2024
