Reinhard Goebe

Christopher White and Melanie Reinhard have been performing the Beethoven Violin Sonatas together for over thirty years, from when they first met in Toronto at the Royal Conservatory of Music.

This programme was conceived for Bachfest Leipzig 2016 and performed to great acclaim. We were invited as part of the concert series “Ausgezeichnet” (which translates as “excellent”), where young award recipients of international music competitions present themselves as part of the Bach Festival.

Mr. Lee? Wer ist dieser Mr. Lee? Der schweigsame Reisende, der sich vor den Seelen der Geschundenen im S21, dem Folterkerker, verneigt, den die barfüßigen Kinder in den Slums von Phnom Penh lieben, weil er ihnen ihre Postkarten oder Zigaretten abkauft, wer ist der stille Europäer, den sie „der weiße Elefant“ nennen? Reinhard Mey wahrt sein Geheimnis, aber er legt musikalische Kieselsteine für die Fährtenleser aus, sie werden Mr. Lee finden. Diese Spurensuche zieht sich wie ein Leitmotiv durch das neue Album. Es ist sein 27.

The Süddeutsche Zeitung reveres him as an ‘icon of early music’, and the New York Times applauds him as a ‘light in a sea of mediocrity’. Reinhard Goebel specialises in the repertoire of the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries; As an expounder of period performance practice for both early music ensembles and modern orchestras, and as an endless fount of knowledge about gems of the repertoire, he is a world-renowned specialist.

Für sein neues Projekt "New Mozart" mit dem Mozarteumorchester Salzburg beschäftigt Reinhard Goebel sich mit musikalischen Schätzen, bei denen es um die Musik von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart geht. Gleich auf dem ersten Album gibt es eine Weltersteinspielung: die Orchesterfassung der Bläserserenade Gran Partita, KV 361 von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Die Gran Partita für große Bläser- und Streicherbesetzung zu einer Orchesterfassung richtete der bayerische Komponist und Mozart-Experte Franz Gleissner (1761-1818) ein und veröffentlichte sie im Jahr 1800 als "Sinfonia concertante" Op. 91.

The recordings of Reinhard Goebel's recording project "Beethoven's world" receive great attention and excellent reviews worldwide.
